YouTube channel LinusTechTips has created a single computer that can accomodate seven gamers.

YouTube channel LinusTechTips has brought us some incredible gaming PC builds in the past, but the latest one takes the cake.

The video, one of a series of Mac Pro-themed videos where Linus Tech Tips attempts to take on Apple's workstation with a custom hackintosh, opens to the admittance a previous attempt using.

Last year, Linus and his team created the 2 Gaming Rigs, One Tower, a behemoth machine that could accommodate two gamers. It actually ran two separate instances of Windows 10.

For CES 2016, LinusTechTips partnered with Kingston, CASELABS, and EK Water Blocks to build a $30,000 behemoth of a machine that can accommodate seven gamers.

The components required to power this machine included two Intel Xeon E5-2697 v3 processors ($3,000 each), seven AMD R9 Nano graphics cards ($650 each), eight 1TB Kingston solid-state hard drives ($400 each), and eight sticks of Kingston 32GB DDR4 RAM ($300 each).

Also necessary: a CASELABS Mercury S8 case ($300) and a custom EK water block to cool the seven AMD graphics cards (unknown price). Add in the massive power supply, the high-resolution Acer Predator ultra-wide gaming monitors, and the sleeved cables, it’s no wonder this uber-computer cost as much as a car.

The build is completely impractical and nowhere near cost effective, but it’s incredibly cool nonetheless.

What you need to know

  • Linus Tech Tips is a popular tech-focused YouTube channel.
  • They built a custom gaming PC modelled after Minecraft's popular baddie, the creeper.
  • It's a fully-featured powerhouse, with some serious specs to back it up.
  • It even has a head that pops up and bounces back and forth on a spring!

Linus Tech Tips is an extremely popular YouTube tech channel that is known for doing all kinds of things from reviews, advice, and everything in between. They just took the wraps off a project that they just finished putting together, and it's pretty stunning. A specced out gaming monster that's inspired by one of gaming's most infamous monsters: Minecraft's explosive killer, creepers. The gaming PC is technically impressive, and is housed inside a completely custom case complete with a button that causes the head to pop up and bounce back and forth like a bobble-head.

The PC was built for none other than PewdiePie, who currently holds the record (by a considerable margin) as the YouTube with the most number of subscribers. PewdiePie has recently started playing Minecraft again, a game that has always enjoyed the attention of millions of monthly players, but fell out of public view for a while when Fortnite took off. In recent months, Minecraft has spiked back up on platforms like Twitch, Mixer, and YouTube, showing that the game just doesn't know when to quit.

The PC itself is fairly impressive, with a powerful NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti and an Intel Core i9-9900KF—which is fancy tech-speak for 'This computer will play Minecraft really good.' Linus Tech Tips' YouTube video goes into detail about all the hardware onboard, complete with a walkthrough of them piecing it together on camera. If you're a gaming PC nut and a fan of Minecraft, it's definitely worth a watch.
