It's a bit conceited off him to assume he knows what's best for his viewers. A review is supposed to give unbiased, timely, and accurate information about a product and let the customer decide if it's worth their money. A reviewer can give opinions, of course, but only after the concrete numbers. Linus has no idea what $800 is worth to any given viewer; I bet there are many who would happily pay that much for a custom water block if it was the best on the market. To bad we don't know how good it is because ltt didn't adequately test it.

800 is probably one of the cheapest "omg this is expensive and no one will ever buy this thing ever" things he's ever showecased/made/used/etc.

Which just makes the whole argument stupid, and bunk.

Dude spent thousands of dollars to make a shitty desk with a computer in it, ffs.
