Yes, I would use it but too expensive. ]:
I'm kinda scared about it. lol. wright brothers are so wrong. wooden scimitars? lol. christ it might be a babies casket.

📸 🤨
@@OrcsmustcryNice!
This is honestly the most beautiful build they've ever done
they did a pretty good job building emily
@@donkideck7180 Martina would like a word with you.
I second that ☺️
needs copper tubing
DIY perks loves wood and brass, surprised they aint collabed yet
Now this is a PC I would actually love to use/have. Never a fan of RGB and angular design. This is a thing of beauty
Some soft warm white lighting would compliment it well though
Agreed. RGB was cool a good few years ago but it's very yesterday now
@@countzero1136 I don't think RGB was ever actually good, personally. It seemed like an industry-fueled viral trend to spend a significant amount more money for things that included cheap LEDs soldered in. I really did not ever understand why it got so popular. Many of my earlier fans that included LEDs mounted in them, I literally just ripped them out myself. I like quiet, stately devices, not tacky disco light shows. So, I like this case build, but calling it a "wooden" build when the majority of it is still probably plastic and metal is kind of... odd. I wish the case actually had more wood, although I guess then it would be incredibly heavy, depending on type of wood used. Also kind of awkward for building with, because then you couldn't ground yourself to the case while putting parts in.
@@xshadowinxbc At least for myself I loved and still love rgb, my biggest complaint at this point is how difficult it can be to get everything synchronized.
@@xshadowinxbcpeople who complain about rgb is always the kind of people who thinks having rainbow colors is the pnly use case. I've had a ton of rgb in my pc for years but i can't recall the last time i used a rainbow puke effect.
I know Linus is looking like this whole idea is the worst thing hes ever had to do but as someone who genuinely loves the wood aesthetic this is great reference for me!
Can you share some of your extra income with us?
@@manthe3711 who said I had extra income? This build is called a far away pipe dream to save up for
Hey friend, you should go check MXC Builds, the guys makes awesome pc cases 100% out of wood.
if there would be a machine where the normal colored noctua fans would have fit in... it would be this one, would love to see that
you mean you *wood* love to see that?
@@amthystxx Ha! I see what you did there
It was an odd decision to not include those. Maybe they wanted all the focus on the EK parts?
he already made an all noctua pc though
@@amthystxx nice one
This wooden PC reminds me of the guy that built the all wooden car. It had a wooden chassis, wooden body, wooden engine, even wooden wheels. But when he tried to drive it, it wooden go.
If I weren't a fan of bad puns, that wood've been a long walk for not a lot of water.
top tier dad joke 😆😆😆
r/angryupvote
Thank you for this 😂 truly
This PC would look really good with copper or brass hard tubing rather than the clear ones they used imo
yes, yes dot that
Don't think copper pipes are a good idea lol
why-----? @@thefunniesies
Cuz copper would heat up from the water and transmit the water through the air I think (although it would look sick)
@@HenriSicklinger-nx4hd Copper is commonly used for hard tubing, hard to bend (as in almost any metal)but looks really cool
Lignin is the component of wood that forms the rigid structure, its basically colorless, and as to why its more expensive, wood interacts with water and moisture like crazy so i'd guess that has been a pain to find out with how to put wood on there in addition to the wood not making the block leak due to it shifting because of absorbing moisture
can't they just oil it or put some additive coating to seal the wood off from moisture?
Maybe a thin hydrophobic coating like what would you found in paper based cup, plate and straw would help but not sure about its lifespan
@@producedbyBrenoI suppose the varnish might wear thin over the years, and if it goes awry it’s goingg To ruin the electronics? I suppose as well it’s a cornered market, not many people making wooden components
The wood screwdriver would be like how tools used to come.
100%, if you picked a nice rich hardwood that'd be a dream screwdriver for sure!
Gotta love a boxwood screwdriver
They could quite easily make it out of biocomposite, basically plastic with a bunch of sawdust in it. Does feel and look sort of like wood actually.
No joke this looks incredibly clean and not gimmicky
wood it? acc it wood.
i know LGR would live this pc
@@MrJ0mmy I thought the same thing, LGR would love it!
I agree, I just wish they didn’t have any rgb on the keyboard
out of all the PC builds ive seen so far, this is definitely up there as one of my favourites! Ive always had the idea to incorporate wood into my setup but you guys just did it so perfectly! Much love for this build and i hope to replicate it somewhat one day!
I love this build more than anything else you've done on this channel, I absolutely love the wood aesthetic. Great video.
I fully expect an RTX 6090 (nice) to be an entire separate tower case that sits next to your PC.
This already exists. It's called an eGPU
You hang it out the window like an air conditioning unit.
@@Outland9000 What if we used probably over 1 kw of waster heat to provide cooling for houses by using desiccant process
It will function as a room heater at that point
With a dedicated PSU of 1000+ watts
This is actually one of my favorite builds I have seen in a long time.
But those prices… those are beyond reality. Wood look never disappoints though
I like the way wood looks in a modern environment. If I ever get my own place to live at I'll try and make every room a different theme, including wood+tech
I've seen a lot of insanely awesome builds before, but none of them have ever left me totally speechless like this one
I wood not believe that LTT could pull this off. But of course Linus managed this pretty naturally, and really stuck to his roots with the build style.
Dang thats a good pun
@@TheRadioactiveBanana32 fr
I mean Linus is pretty Poplar and naturally wood be able to get this stuff.
The look is really growing on me...
Nice to see them branching out into different materials,
I appreciate that LTT is making an effort to build something we could replicate at home. I don't know if I wood, though.
😏
xD
This computer is wooden, and "wood" sounds like "would", so it's funny, because some words sound the same.
@@GeneLinet I woodn’t believe that if not for this sentence.
@@CNWPlayer oh, wood you just stahp?
I truly love the wood aesthetic for PCs. Especially the fractal case.
My internet connection is made out of wood, too
wonder if LGR would like a PC like that
I guess he wood 😑
He probably would
same, thought of him when i saw the video.
My thoughts exactly 😂
He definitely wood
This actually has some market potential, nothing has the warm tactile feel of timber
Another video idea for this kind of thing would be "the clear gaming setup" with all the clear components you could find, such as a clear mouse and keyboard. Love the videos, keep up the great work.
I think a trick was missed with the GPU wooden block cover. There are some wooden tables that have a natural gap(s) running down the length of the table, that are filled with coloured epoxy resin, giving them a cool effect (like a river running down the middle). Similarly, it would have been cool if the middle of wooden GPU block was filled with clear resin/epoxy, so you could see the water flowing inside.
Goodness that'd look amazing
@@KolbPROD If you like those resin tables
That might be only acceptable use for the resin-wood combo.
Resin reacts weirdly with heat, I don't think putting it on a GPU is the best idea.
@@Aerosklice ah, good to know. Well, I'm sure they can figure out an alternative material that's more viable; the goal of my suggestion is having a similar effect to those wooden tables, but also being clear enough to be able to see the water flowing
Linus playing with wood on camera and not getting demonitized! I see Linus is loving his new role as CVO
😋
And with Lignum
But is it his wood....thats the question. Or will he just leave his wood at the office. Hopefully not I imagine he has use for it elsewhere.
@John Smith I'm sure Linus will tell you right after this Segway to our sponsor DBrands and their new silicone case that's extra stretchy and great for protecting any size wood you may have. Your choice of colors or you can choose a premium designer skin. And back by popular demand you can get Linus design. Perfect for protecting your wood or your friends wood lol
Black, walnut, brass/copper and leather is definitely my aestetic. I've done my build as a fractal north TG with black and gold cables and dark gold rgb. Definitely want to do more leather and walnut for my desk area too. Likely gonna have to be whenever I move though but this is definitely where i want my gaming setup to wind up. It's classy and pleasing to the eye.
I just built my first pc with this case and I love it. It fists so well in my living room. Mid century modern style is amazing.
I'm using the white version of the fractal case, I absolutely LOVE the unique design with the wooden grill on the front.
Alex should do one of his janky DIY builds, trying to replicate this build with normal parts, wood and veneer :D
Honestly I was expecting that, or better yet, some properly done wood mods for aesthetics, covering some of the case with veneer and why not the monitor
There's a channel called Zac Builds where the guy has done a bunch of projects like that. Several iterations of game consoles / computers, some speakers, etc.
I wood expect him to do something like a rework of the computer that cools by shooting fire out of it. Except this time it would be in the style of a swedish log/rocket stove.
I feel like wood should be used more on mainstream designs. They not only look classy and is renewable, they are durable and match in colour with Noctua!
Finally, a wood build. I've been looking forward for something like this! ❤
This is literally my dream setup
That setup looks absolutely amazing. It's just staggering how expensive literally everything about this setup is. 100$ for a wrist rest or 150$ for a monitor stand - sort of expected, but ouch.
wood do be expensive atm
@@sirken2 its really not however. Raw wood is fairly cheap.
if it's just for looks, it costs much less to replace ikea parts regularly
It's not like wood grows on trees
been giving all my wood into gaming for years
ayo wdym by that
@@TabbyEgg312 he means he fucks trees
@@TabbyEgg312 I love big dark thick, long, hard, girthy wood.

That is a beautiful build. Now if I could just find some walnut planks I would build one myself. I'm thinking of an all walnut case with beefy copper heat sinks, since they go together color-wise, and wood-grain colored fans. For the fans I'd have to apply some walnut veneer, but it would work, trust me.
I was just looking at this case for uni and you make a video on it! Thank you so much!!!!
That "wooden" segue was spectacular.
Hah yeah best one yet
normally i go "of course" and skip past the intro but i was so dazed by this one that i actually watched the sponsor bit
Normally I wood skip the sponsor segues, but then I wood of missed out on one of the sponsorships I wood love.
Hi Linus, Thanks for another really cool video. Clint from the Lazy Game Reviewer (LGR) channel would love that computer because he always covers his computers with wood panels. Anyways, keep up the great work. Marc K
He likes woodgrain. I'm not sure where he stands on real wood.
this is an absolutely beautiful setup, love it
love the aesthetic of the wooden finish!!
9:51 Linus wood know about flaccid wood, woodn't he.
I am SO excited about this... I always loved the Fractal North since I first saw it, and I always wanted to know, whether or not the Shift PSUs fit in the North. I think it's one of the best Builds I ever saw!
Got that case in white and I love it 👍 Wanted this black variant, but didn't want to wait for next supply
11:02 Turning on LTTStore notification for that RTX6090 LTT Edition.
id love a follow up were they custom make as many things as possible like fancasing whole case and more out of wood
I think they should go all in and even make the water reservoir out of wood
You should've used the EK vertical GPU mount. It's also universal, but braces the far side of the bracket off of two standard ATX mounting holes. It basically sandwiches the motherboard and makes sure the card is supported from the front and the back.
I used braided extension cables on everything in my build so I can change my PSU without having the expense of new custom cables every time, it WOOD have worked out quite well for this build!
I've been working on a build with this case in mind, and ordering very soon. There is a version of each color with a glass panel side vs. the mesh panel so you can see inside and not hide all the goodies.
Yep, I've already more or less decided I want to use that for my next build, and now I'm tempted to make basically this build, lol.
I just did a build with the mesh one and I absolutely love it
@@KingBobXVI Dope. It's the prettiest build I've seen.
This is like a modern minimal reinterpretation of @LGR wood grain pc!
If this isnt a lgr crossover oppurtunity idk what is…
Wow, that looks amazing!
I do have the Fractal Design North here but I went for the brown Noctua fans as I find them to be aesthetically fitting indeed.
How could they have missed the Meze 99 Classics as an accessory for this build? It would match the walnut theme perfectly
I think the wood looks awesome. I'm just not a fan of water cooling since I had a $6000 system leak and corrode years ago. Maybe Noctua could go wood grain on their brown tan colors.
This is why I'm an air cooler guy lol
This segue is hands down the best in a while. Bravo!
When we water-cooled in the 90s with expensive bespoke blocks and aquarium pumps with whiskey bottle res, we used to put a tap in the top of the loop for filling.
The walnut on the water block will take more work and a better quality wood than the slats in the case. The case slats can basically be put through a moulder and basically off to finish. The block will have been machined and the tolerances to get the face flush with the block are more difficult because or the nature of wood. That's the simple version. I am guessing they used an adhesive to ut the walnut on the block. I'd say the case slats are attached with fasteners.
All Glass setup with RGB would look insaaaaaaaaaneeee
I want that case, best-looking one I've ever seen and it fits my room really nicely
The case is absolutely beautiful
I would buy the wooden LTT screwdriver in a second. Love wood handled tools.
that case is gorgeous. The wooden graphics cards and wooden tube fittings feel kinda gimmicky to me but that case is def something I wood be interested in!
that case is incredible!
Most beautiful build ever!
The restraint LTT has is amazing, so many hard wood jokes could’ve been heard
Linus, you've gone 'tree-mendous' with this wooden PC build!
That's a cool power supply! Finally they changed the connectors to the back of the case!
Love the Fractal Design North, I used it for my build recently. Stacked it with Noctua fans though
Henloo! I love this new Fractal North case, I was thinking to buy it for an office configuration! And Fractal as a whole have been doing really well.
Heh, i actually have just finished rhe physical side of making a partially wooden pc! Its recycled acrylic, at the front, with a frame and rear made of pine. My skills are...nit as good as id like, so its not as polished, but it's my first ever custom case build - also met most of ky design brief too, so im pretty pleased. And building anything out if wood just nakes your room smell lovely!!
It looks so clean
ngl that's dope as hell, the whole setup is fantastic
I would definitely support EK making more wooden GPU blocks, I actually went to their website a while ago to see what lignum parts they had on offer and the only wood gpu block was for a 2080.
I think LTT would always take a wood PC because they can get all the jokes.
Joaks***
I'm keeping this video bookmarked for the future, this is genuinely an idea I would do for a future setup. I am a sucker for wooden appliances and aesthetic.
I love the look honestly
This is one of the sharpest rigs I've seen you guys work on.
North case is great. I swapped my 510 elite build into it and ditched all the rgb. Runs cooler and quieter with all Noctua fans and cpu cooler. Plus, the power button on the North feels pristine compared to any other PC case power button that I've used.
As a woodworker this is my dream PC 😍 it's gorgeous!!
EPIC! Next level vid like a movie and next level PC
This is a gorgeous setup. I would love to walk into a corner office and have this as a desk centerpiece
To complete the aesthetic they should have added some color to the water coolant to make it look like Bourbon and add some warm led strips to to it... And finally to top it all off use the leather mouse with brass accents (pointer instrument) they showcased in short circuit.
oooohhh such a great idea, I don't like RGB but the warm color sounds great
Poop-colored coolant?
Wood screwdriver would be amazing. Wooden handle tools are a favorite because they absorb moisture and oils off the hand rather than simply coating the surface, meaning you can use them when your hands are dirty or oily without issue. And as a benefit, the oils it absorbs helps keep the wood fresh and pristine for a long time.
This is definitely the coolest build I've seen in a while.
14:42 the aesthetic of this setup WOODEN been possible?? Nice one Linus
It was awesome to work with you guys on this! If other people think we should do more EK Lignum parts.... Shout here! - EK Dave
Absolutely! There are a lot of gamers who are growing up now, and no longer want RGB, Carbon Fibre and Futuristic fonts. Plenty of gamers I know who have nice houses and a family, and want something clean, modern, minimal, classy, timeless, etc. The same people who are probably willing to pay extra for that too.
@@michaelstewart1098 Carbon fiber looks really clean.
@@joshjlmgproductions3313 the problem I personally see with carbon fiber is that because it is faked so much, even real carbon fiber looks really cheap. It ends up just looking tacky imo. Kinda like how just having diamonds on things often just looks cheap and nasty, even if it is worth thousands :D
That setup is on FIRE
Grovemade makes nice stuff. I bought a wooden iPad case (yes indeed) off them for my iPad 2 I got at launch with a laser engraved/etched picture of my dog on the front. The iPad is long gone, the wood did crack after a drop (I was careful with it for years, we're talking 4-5 years old at this point) - but that leather cover is still fantastic.
shoulda put a veneer on the heat spreaders for the ram and sd card. be interesting to see how it effects thermals
This is the type of hard-wooded content which shivers me timbers, lmao
I have the Chalk White Fractal North case and absolutely love it. I think it is the best looking case out there for people who want a classy case that fits in anywhere.
it being quieter than a normal PC seems pretty on point as wood usually is a good sound absorber👍🏻👍🏻
Okay, this is it. This is the one. Out of every pc I've watched Linus build, heck out of every pc I've ever seen! This is by far my favorite... My whole setup will be done in walnut when I am finished with it, and this is easily the most beautiful pc I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing Linus! Ps. Is there a raffle or anything for it? I would love to throw my hat in the running!
The headphones stuck out as a lack of wood, some Meze 99s or similar would have really fit in well
The parts to buy are all listed in the video.
It all looks good, but dang that grovemade stuff is overpriced haha, at least does not seem worth it to me.
Finally Linus gets to show off his wood on camera
You could use some wood finish vinyl sheet for trim pieces on the PSU, M/B heat sinks, etc? Alternatively, use a wood effect paint job for detailed work.
Love The Aesthetically Pleasing Style ❤ Just Needs A Wood Bezel For The Monitor Now To Finish The Look
Would have been cool if you machined your own replacement monitor foot and mounting stalk out of walnut, too, to replace the plastic stock ones. Heck, maybe the LCD bezel as well, if feasible.
Next is the great glass computer, and Linus can drop it at the end to show us what a great idea that would be
this is one of the best looking pces ever!
This is a pc i want, like RGB on a computer is cool and all but this would allow u to pull of a minimal look for during the day, then during the night u could pull off a incredible setup with Light Strips and stuff in a way where theyre not noticed unless turned on
