They Scored a $40K Test Chamber for $1K… What Could Go Wrong?

Linus and the LTT Labs crew accidentally snagged a $40,000+ environmental test chamber at auction for just $1,000—and now they’ve doubled their testing capacity! Of course, the plot twist is that the manufacturer folded years ago, it hasn’t been powered on in a decade, and it’s been lounging in a surplus yard outdoors. Cue the “box of problems” vibe.

Despite almost no one expecting them to win, the team now has to figure out how to haul this beast inside, power it up, and actually make it work. Between scavenging replacement parts, chasing down schematics, and dreaming up a restoration plan, it’s shaping up to be an all-out tech adventure. Stay tuned for sparks, spills, and maybe even some surprising life signs from this forgotten hulk.
