So if you wouldn't mind shipping this over to the UK, that'd be great.

For a channel about tech enthusiasts... there's a lot of hate about enthusiast over-the-top for-fun builds. Sheesh, lighten up people. This stuff is awesome.

My right ear really enjoyed that tunnel bear add

You should make a new one but using RTX 2080ti's.

Amazing. I really want to see you try and make a cost effective version for just a few gamers!

This series is the sharknado of the tech world

that computer literally costs more than my car

This thing could replace all of the insanely slow 450 laptops in my school

Linus asks for 8 gtx980ti... Linus gets 8 gtx980ti. I ask for 1 gtx980ti... I get grounded for 2 weeks.

It still has 2 CPUs. Why, Linus, why in the hell did you call it "1 CPU"? It's literally wrong and is worse compared to the simpler "1 PC".

I think the titanator is beaten.

This was very interesting. I like seeing the over the top builds, and I wish I had the resources to do this kind of thing myself! I wonder if you could deal with the card thermal issues by using PCIe breakout cables. I don't know how long you can get those before you start to lose performance. But If you can get a reasonable cable length then you could build a rack on top of the server, add more spacing between the cards and perhaps put some tower fans in the room to move air around better? I'm also interested in the thin client stuff. The zotac mini PC's look interesting. My main work server is at home, so I'm using a Lenovo Miix 300 (atom z3745f) with splashtop to remote access it. It works pretty well but I'd like a bigger screen and keyboard when doing that. For the moment I'll just buy one, hook up the tablet to micro HDMI, slap in a dongle and keyboard/ mouse combo and live with it. But I may update this to a permanent "at her place" zotac mini-pc solution instead.

Well there goes Titanator lol.

What I want to know is why this video automatically starting playing in 4K on my potato build.

I still breathe manually every time I see a LTT intro.

This is now my favorite channel I have ever subscribed to. Just so informational!

So will we be getting a 2 girls and a cup sequel soon?

linus need to do giveaways hehe

This is exactly what I wanted to built in my home. Thanks for building this! Very awesome.

Love this kind of content, showing what happens when cutting edge enterprise level hardware gets in the hands of crazy enthusiasts like me!! Would love to see some sort of follow up to this!

Next time... Infinite Gamers, Infinite CPUs... (Comes with free copy of Infinite Warfare)

What's next ? 20 gamer

Linus is like the mad scientist of PCs

what if you used this pc for one gamer

Most accurately these builds would be x gamers 1 motherboard.

OmG :O im not the only one with the dream of having one "house-pc" wich powers vms in every room and can be used completly independent from the other vms...

That pc could probably render avatar in REAL TIME

Whats about a Video of 1 Gamer, 8 CPUs instead of 8 Gamers, 1 CPUs? ;)

360p club! lol

Children in Africa could've eaten those GPUs.....

I had actually had a similar idea to do this at my house but was not quite sure how to do it. I found this quite enlightening.

I don't know how long it has been this way, but i am very glad that he made the intro quiet... in the past the intro blasted through my speakers and threw me against the wall

wtf why did this default to 4k when i dont even have a 4k screen and the min resolution is 1080

8 gamers 1 cpu phew no sweat do 8 gamers 1 gpu if u dare ;)

Very cool. I've shared this idea of a centralised power house of a computer for many tasks including gaming for a while and I think it's absolutely the right direction.

very good and entertaining video ! keep it up ltt team

review of the 4k wireless video transmitter?

It's crazy how people are complaning... Just enjoy the damn thing or gtfo.

This is awesome, your vision for the future of computing is basically dead on what I've imagined.

this is wonderful you have really thought about the potential application of this technology - thin clients are a great idea and the hdmi dongles are very cool

CPU AND PC IS FUCKING DIFFERENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! still love it

i saw this and thought oh god not again

@Linus Tech Tips We need to see an updated version of this with some kind of stay at home twist.

I kept saying holy cow during the entire video, this pc is extreme. Great build linus

When Linus uses Freesync monitors with Nvidia GPUs. *sigh*

Intel got the chips, and Kingston brought the beer. =D

Just imagine playing GTA 3 on this beauty

G'day, how about the 2019 version of a household centre.. Keen..!!

Tfw no GTX 1080s

I'm so tired of seeing that kind of pc/server/monster or whatever this is... I want reviews of products I actually care as a gamer and standard user, just like before!!

Do more videos toying with this concepts! I'd love to see something closer to what normal people might need or use... For example, how would a Ryzen 2700X with 2 GPUs perform for two gaming stations. Would it be possible to have a variable resources allocation in the case that one of the users needed more cores to encode a video or something like that? I'm really hopping that the next upgrade for my wife and kid (both are gamers!) to be some sort of VM env to save some space and reduce cable management in our home...

Fibre connections between the computer and the mini computers would help a lot.

30k for 10 gamers? well you can get much better performance if you just make a 3k rig for everyone.

What I don't get is why you left it at "some of them are thermal throttling". I understand this is probably a huge time sink but a real solution to try to mitigate those problems would be cool

I can't wait for the video of popcorn popping, while still on the shelf, in that building one day.

Did you have a single network cable going to the server or multiple? I would think if all of the network cables were hooked up and setup correctly through a good switch like a Ubiquiti, then the network lag would be negligible. If it's all through a single 1Gbps connection, then I'm surprised at the little lag noticed. Most of it looks like network lag to be honest. I don't think the server was even breaking a sweat.

Just imagine an SLI bridge for all of them. LOL

i dont want to be that guy..but internet speeds in our country is so turtle that i have to buff this for at least 2 huours just to watch 1080p (it was the minimum resolution it was available) and my laptop ain't even 1080p (just saying)..sorry

You are going from overpowered costly machines to really practical usage. Really this transition is awesome Linus. I hope I see these machines during Dota2/CS Competitions

Over the years I've been moving to centralizing my tech devices, I've home run wired the house, installed home automation control (get rid of piles of remotes), setup dedicated server room, virtualized most systems and now working on something like this system, but not as extreme.

Im hoping it can run minecraft shit....

Threadripper and/or i9 revision?

THIS is why i love LTT extraordinary tech contant !

I would love to use and own one of these.

One day all of this will be on a single chip about the size of a general consumer CPU.

Why not a budget friendly 1 Gamers 1 CPU?

That's was exactly my vision! Thanks Linus for making it! If we work in this field, infinity is the limit.

Great and awesome project it will be useful in the future

360p masterrace!

DAMN IT, MY 1.4Mbps CONNACTION CAN'T KEEP UP WITH 1080P, DAMN IT, I WANT TO SEE DOE!

The other video would make for a nice LAN party or internet cafe setup, but this one here is the dream. Won't be possible until someone figures out a way to stream video over the network without major latency issues.

Your vision of the future is EXACTLY like mine. That's cool!

I don't want 1080p!!!! How do I get it to play at 720 or 480?

30k$ pc, xD can i have only 1k$ from that?

I think it's a nice idea, a computer cluster for a multi-player gaming setup. Could it be a good business idea? Like to have potential for renting out one GPU at LAN parties and have the case out of the way to save room, or similarly in arcades you can add some PC games there.

Would have been awesome to see some network statistics on that beast :D

Now mine cryptocurrency

Say's 1 CPU, board he uses has 2.

Its kind of a good idea to set this up for a 5 v 5 tournament.

Very cool Linus, this is exactly the solution I've been waiting for, it's not quite there yet latency wise unfortunately but hey the dream is coming closer to fruition! Can't wait for the day though where I can set something like this up in my home and even via a local wireless home network have low enough latency to play any game.

add a sli bridge and 40k gaming is here

So, you are building a 30k PC that can make about 10 people play with some problems, with that money you can make at least 10 PCs that cn allow 20 people to play. Yeah, practical! Something I'd like to see in one of your next video is a realistic scenario like "I have two sons, both interested in gaming, is it better or some how convenient to build a single PC capable of running two recent game simultaneously and how to set it up"

I did something like this but it was 12 vm's with 24 duel core processors. It was part of the University of Utah's super computer that they lent me for a project. Mind you at the time they had replaced their super computer with something new and just had it laying around. I was running it with Centos and could only play Linux based games but it was still a blast. The entire thing weighed about 150lbs and required a special breakout transformer. The gaming that was done on it was fun but just a side project compared the actual super computer tasks that I had to accomplish while me and a team had this computer on loan.

Lol with 802.11ax and ay around the corner I wonder if this will be the status quo for internet cafes. It's so awesome to see the technology so close to achieving this level of streaming.

8 gamers 1 cpu sounds like one of those gross 2 girl 1 cup things.

10 virgins gaming pc :D

wow, that video was hard to find!

Hey big fan of the show. If I may suggest a followup video. Mix the 8 gamers 1cpu with the homemade 10gbs Nas. To determine if that fixes network issues. Thanks again

1 CPU my ass

can you water cool this whole thing cause that would be a sweet video or oil cool it that would be even coolyer

Hey Linus, have you thought about trying this project again using the current hardware available? It seems it would work a lot more smoothly.

Linus, maybe in the near future could you do more a 3D rendering stuff with this BEAST?

No benchmarks ?

Use the new amd eypc 32 core CPUs

The advertisement here of tunnelbear had only right channel audio

This is more of what I had in mind when I saw the title of the video before. This is literally exactly what I had in mind down to the manufacture of the barebone. My problem with it is that you could have easily done this Vmware View and Esxi. Esxi supports every feature you needed.

Anyone else cant watch yet on their phone? :(

So... Steam Streaming is the bottleneck there, right? I mean, I used it, it's pretty awesome, but even a gaming PC and a single thin client (in my case a Windows tablet on top of a docking station working as HTPC) all wired (Ethernet) will still have similar problems (latency, getting wonky at times, dropping resolution, etc). Theoretically, if you build this powerhouse and made wired connections everywhere to use it directly, I guess you could already make a lanhouse or an entire family setup like that. Of course, it'd still be kinda ridiculous the ammount of HDMI and USB cables going around (plus all the signal amplifiers/boosters), but it seems this monster could take it. :P Oh, in the end, I moved my office to the side of my living room and made it like this. Using a wireless keyboard, and a really long HDMI cable. The steam streaming experience wasn't bad... I was very surprised how well it worked, honestly. But man... nothing better than a direct connection. xD

I'm really curious to see what you'd be able to achieve on the new turing architecture with it's optimizations specifically for large scale virtualization. Seems like the tesla t4 cards would actually be pretty ideal for this sort of setup or even something even bigger like your closet server stack idea. I personally brainstormed a business model of sorts for a gaming cafe that would likely be the ideal candidate for such a server. It'd be something repeatable, assuming the system was stable enough for commercial use, enough to be bought in bulk by a company/corporation with a bunch of storefronts to really save a lot of money in both the short and long term as the initial overall cost would probably be lower and upgrade paths should be as well along with the system likely pulling a lot less power overall for the equivalent capabilities in individual towers. Theoretically it would allow for easy upgrades and repair (though I'd imagine if something went down you'd have to shut the whole place down in order to fix it) and would be modular enough to fit different floor plans and layouts as not every location would be identical obviously. I'd also imagine it not being nearly as much of a hassle to upgrade as you'd theoretically be able to add in more cards to upgrade the individual machine's graphical throughput rather than having to sell off old cards to upgrade the system to newer models all at once. Theoretically, such a business model may even allow for a tiered pricing scheme where memberships of a higher price could allot the user with more available power to the station they sign in on.

still ahead of time :) Someday we have anway one computer unit with a lot of lan and wireless streamed conections in our homes, from gaming surfaces smartphones and tv's.. And the oppertunity to control gadgets outside from your home , alarm, dimming lights, or even letting some warm water in your tub on your way home .
