The video has been making it rounds in the tech community for how ridiculously bad the video is. It has been compared to polygon's "Doom" gameplay video and called out by other tech youtubers

For just a quick list of some of the mistakes
listed tool that were "needed" but never actually used, non-grounded anti-static bracelet, installed ram wrong (single channel), install the PSU backwards (fan should face out the case), way too big of a PSU (650, or even 550 watts would have been fine), WAY too much thermal paste, motherboards really aren't as fragile as he implies.

Look at that horrid cable management lol.

Notice the missing screw on the CPU. bottom left

He bought ram with LEDs, so he must want to show the build off, right? But then to do zero cable management??

Goddamn I only built one PC and even I didn't do as bad.

They disabled the likes/dislikes and the comment section

I’m no tech wizard or an expert in wire management but the way they made that was just pure torture for the computer.

Oh the video went unavailable

Anyways here is the full list of mistakes The Verge went wrong

>Oh the video went unavailable

That is so beautiful.

LTT replied to them on twitter when the video launched asking to help them on a follow up. I'd love to see that happen

Maybe they'll assemble a PC right this time?

Don't hold your breath. If they get another YouTuber to help them with it it'll probably be fine, but unless that happens it's going to be another trainwreck.

I can't believe I miss the video. I just wait for the reupload. Looking at the PC rig pic Kot shared, it's appalling. Is it too hard to hire anyone who's experienced with PC building like Linus beforehand or refer to /r/buildapc for an advice and tips?

Verges new Video, how to turn 2000 dollars worth of hardware into a priceless modern art masterpiece.

Here is a re-upload
