I mostly use a laptop, specifically a zenbook. This LTT video is probably more useful for you though: [this video]

on HN thread Linus (from LinusTechTips) builds Linus Torvald's new PC [Video]

Correct. Torvalds built his PC himself and his words are quoted in the ZdNet's article to which the video author refers to as he builds a "copy" for his youtube channel. The worth of the video is seeing how huge the CPU (1) and the cooler (2) are. 1) [this video] 2) [this video] Which is less surprising once one reads the specs: [link] "Default TDP / TDP 280W"

Shows how huge the CPU and cooler are.

on HN thread A DRAM Failure

Didn't Linus S. build this system? [this video] "Good enough" is what he was told. It sure was, until it wasn't.
