Linus Tech Tips builds an extremely expensive, over-the-top desk PC for Minecraft-playing YouTuber Karl Jacobs, using high-end components like an Intel Core i9-13900KS, an Nvidia RTX 4090, and custom water cooling. They test the PC against a Maingear MG-1 prebuilt, concluding that the custom desk PC offers superior cooling and benchmark scores, though performance scaling is modest compared to the price difference.
