They snagged a $40,000-plus environmental test chamber for just $1,000 at auction and somehow ended up with a second unit for LTT Labs. Linus threw in a cheeky lowball bid expecting to lose, only to find out he’d won. The catch? The manufacturer went belly-up, the chamber hasn’t seen power in over a decade, and it’s been rotting away in an outdoor surplus lot ever since.
Now comes the fun part: getting this beast through the door, figuring out if any of its electronics still work, tracing water-cooling loops and sensors, and actually building a plan to bring it back to life. It’s basically a giant box of problems disguised as a tech trophy—exactly the kind of project Linus can’t resist.
