TL;DR

Linus Tech Tips just scored a $40,000+ environmental test chamber for only $1,000 at auction—only problem is it’s been sitting outside in a surplus yard for years, hasn’t been powered on in over a decade, and its manufacturer is long gone.

Now LTT Labs has a second chamber to play with, but they’ll need to resurrect this beast from near-oblivion. From hauling it through tight doorways to figuring out if it’s water-cooled (and how to get it working again), it’s shaping up to be one wild teardown/adventure.
