## Summary

Linus Sebastian works a full shift at a random tech mall in Taipei, building and repairing computers for customers. Unbeknownst to him, his team has secretly placed a rush order for a high-end PC that he must complete by the end of his shift, which he will then give away to a lucky fan.

### Key Points

- **Setup and Secret Plan** [0:00] — Linus returns to the Taipei tech mall to work a full shift (1 PM to 9 PM) doing troubleshooting, building, and repairing. His team secretly places a rush order for a PC that Linus must build, intending to give it away.
- **First Customer Interactions** [1:18] — Linus helps customers with various issues: one with a laggy PC (advises BIOS update and power saving settings), another with cable management, and a third with a no-post system (finds 24-pin not connected).
- **Building the Secret PC Begins** [3:26] — Linus starts building the water-cooled PC for the secret order. He installs a GPU water block, motherboard, and radiator, but encounters screw compatibility issues (M3 vs 6-32).
- **Team's Nervousness and Spy Intervention** [8:35] — By 3 PM, Linus hasn't started the secret build. The team sends a Mandarin-speaking fan to place the order, but the fan takes 10 minutes inside, causing anxiety. Eventually, the message is delivered.
- **Crisis: Boss Builds the PC Instead** [12:55] — The team discovers the boss is building the secret PC, not Linus. A second spy is sent to clarify, but the boss gets confused. Linus almost notices, but the team diverts him with a gift bag.
- **Linus Takes a Bathroom Break** [14:26] — Linus asks to go to the bathroom, allowing the team to clear up the confusion with the boss. Crisis averted; the secret order is back on track.
- **Rush Order and Cable Management** [15:00] — Linus works on a rush AIO system for a customer due at 8 PM. He also does cable management for another customer, earning a B+ grade. He struggles with a crooked screen and broken clip.
- **Windows 10 Driver Issue** [17:56] — The secret PC has no Windows 10 drivers for Wi-Fi 7, so Linus installs Windows 11 fresh. The GPU is not detected, possibly due to a riser cable issue.
- **Reveal and Giveaway** [20:55] — A customer arrives to pick up the secret PC. Linus realizes it's for him to give away. He finishes the build (hardline tubing) and later gives the PC to a student who wants to run AI models and start a medical startup.
- **Final Grade and Resignation** [23:55] — The boss gives Linus an A+ grade. Linus 'resigns' because he's busy giving away the other PC. The video ends with the giveaway and a discussion about the mall's future.

### Conclusion

Linus successfully completes a full shift at a Taipei tech mall, building a high-end PC for a secret giveaway while handling real customer repairs. The video highlights the challenges of working in a tech shop and ends with a happy winner.

## Transcript

Here I am in Taipei again, which means
it's time to head to the tech mall,
where 2 years ago I pretended to be a
regular customer and bought a $5,000 PC
to give away. And where last year I had
three shops compete to design the best
$12,000 PC. I gave that away, too. But
this time's different. This time I'm
here to work.
>> Hello.
>> [laughter]
>> All right, boss.
What can I do for you?
>> How about you help me to build this
thing over here?
>> Oh.
>> water block?
>> Immediately right into a water-cooled
system. All right, brilliant. I was
going to tell him, "Don't go easy on
me." And I can see that was not ever
going to be part of the plan. Oh,
there's customers already. I need like a
training badge or something.
>> Yeah, I was looking into a new like
Excuse me, hi.
>> Linus knows he'll be working a full
regular shift at the mall, 1:00 p.m. to
9:00 p.m., doing everything the shop
normally does, troubleshooting,
building, and repairing computers. But
what he doesn't know is that one of the
customers is himself. I'm secretly
placing a rush order that must be done
today. Why? Because it wouldn't really
be a tech mall video if we didn't give
away a system, would it? I'll be popping
in the video periodically to give you
guys updates on how it's going on that
end because, well,
he has no idea. Bye-bye.
>> So two of these and one of those is 4110
in TD.
>> TL140 Reverb in white, right?
>> Oh, white? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry,
white.
In white, yes.
>> Okay.
>> Okay, just snap a picture so you know
the price.
Okay, brilliant. Okay.
>> I really want these ones, so
I was also trying to look for something
like this. Can you
>> Look at that, a Segway.
To our sponsor.

on sale before it's too late.
>> Sorry, I'm new here. I'm looking to get
a new motherboard or a CPU because my
build right now, like after I let it sit
there and I try to open Windows or try
to open Chrome, it'll start becoming
really laggy and I can't use it and I
have to restart the whole PC.
>> So, what I would do before you upgrade
anything,
maybe I'm a bad employee,
is update your BIOS.
And then, if that doesn't help, then
what I would probably do is go in and
turn off any power saving. But, if
you're not comfortable doing that, uh do
we fix computers?
Yeah, we then we also fix computers.
Okay.
>> do the wiring cuz my wiring's kind of
messed up?
>> Hey boss, do we do cable management?
>> Of course.
>> Okay, I'll I'll bring my PC back here.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah, thank you.
>> This is Dude, this
this is crazy. There's already a lineup.
>> So, when the last time you do the water
block?
>> Oh, like maybe a few months ago.
>> I thought it was about 13 years.
>> No, no, no, no. No, it was 13 years
since my first day on a new job. Yeah.
No, no, no, I know I know how to water
cool. It's okay. Gaming chairs, they're
uh they're they're bulky. Never taken
apart this card before. Big Sky, do they
include new thermal pads or do I need
>> Yes, they do.
>> Yeah, they do? Okay, so I'm going to put
all these back on here then, okay?
>> Yep.
>> Is that what you normally do?
>> Yep.
>> Yeah, okay, perfect. Oh yeah, no, I know
that because I reviewed your system.
Yeah, okay. I'm going to put this on, so
hopefully people are patient with me.
>> Uh I got a text that my customer's a
graphic card is back, so if it's okay
that you
be here in yourself about half hour?
>> What?
>> Be strong.
>> Okay.
>> I've been [clears throat] trained for 15
minutes.
>> The stock backplate had a pad for the
12-volt connector, but Vic's key didn't
include any pads that are the right size
to reach theirs, so I stacked up three.
Better than nothing.
However, I don't like that I can see
that.
Should I answer the phone?
Oh, too late. Add employee. Oh, oh yeah,
oh the phone was ringing. Okay, I've
done my first job. I put a thermal pad
here. I It's a little bit ugly, but the
stock backplate had a thermal pad there.
>> It's fine, it will stand straight, so
you won't see it.
>> See, I knew he wouldn't want to see it.
>> [laughter]
>> Okay, I can try put it in the system, I
think.
>> Sure. Is this a new build?
>> Yep.
>> Can I get the RAM?
>> Oh, the most interesting thing.
>> Sorry, what am I looking at? Dude,
bougie RAM is on a whole other level
now.
>> The triple fan on the RAM, too.
>> Yeah, wow. All right, time to assemble
my RAM.
>> So, this is my PC.
>> I'll see if I can figure out the
throttling issue, and then if it's not
solved, then we'll message you and let
you know.
>> Yeah, okay.
>> Okay.
>> Thank you.
>> Am I doing it okay?
>> Yeah, well, this is my first time to see
this RAM, too.
>> Oh, okay. [laughter]
>> A little bit too high, isn't it?
>> I mean, I guess we'll find out.
>> [laughter]
>> And then this one is just no post, not
working?
>> Yes.
>> Okay, we will respond to you once we can
have a look.
Okay, there are many factors of, you
know, actually working in a tech shop
that I have not thought about. How do we
keep track of like the priority
sequence?
Now, at this point, I'm trying to put my
order in without getting caught. So, it
can't come from a Canadian number, and
ideally it's in Chinese. So, we reached
out to some local legends. Shout out
Caleb for sliding into the DMs. But, I'm
just praying that our order is not too
far back in the queue for us to get
serviced.
>> I think at least that ROG one, I don't
think there's anything wrong with it cuz
they the 24-pin is out.
>> Uh-huh.
>> So, what Why is it not working? I don't
know. Maybe cuz not plugged in.
>> Yeah.
>> Well, we'll see.
>> What can I do for you, sir?
>> I would like one full plain exclusive
for this video.
>> Oh, I'm I'm sure there's going to be at
least one with all the stuff we're doing
today.
>> [snorts]
>> lmg.gg/blueplain
Oh hi.
>> I'm back.
>> Oh, hi. What can I do for you? I I
forget.
>> Do some cable management.
>> You want to do cable management?
>> cuz it's it's actually really messy in
there.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> You sound tired.
>> It's pretty heavy.
>> Did you run the whole way or?
>> No, it's just pretty heavy.
>> Oh, okay. Got it. Oh, you still have the
peel on the back of your motherboard.
Did you build this yourself?
>> Oh, yeah.
>> I haven't seen how bad the cable
management is yet, man.
>> It's pretty horrible. To make the color
look like all the same.
>> Oh, oh good. RGB software config.
>> We got Gigabyte's uh we got Armory
Crate, and even the AIO is a different
for that. It's just everywhere.
>> Oh, good.
>> So, what's the problem with this one?
>> I'd say maybe he just doesn't have Expo
enabled, and so it's just a little bit
slow right now.
>> This RAM very slow.
>> Oh, okay. So, he's not making this one
up. Expo's enabled, too. What? 5600
CL46?
>> Well, that's way too slow. That's an
Expo profile?
>> CPU's temperature looks fine. It's only
Yeah 30°.
>> Maybe BIOS flash, and we go from there?
>> Yep.
>> That is slow ass memory. This is cool.
It's like a triple fan thing. Is this
from Jonsbo?
>> Yep.
>> Man, that's awesome. Busy day so far.
I've got my GPU water block installed.
I've I've my motherboard and water
cooling installed. I've got my first
radiator set up with fans. We ran into a
small problem where the rad screws are
M3, which is correct, obviously, but
they're too short for these fans. And
these fans come with screws that are the
right length, but they're 6-32. So,
the boss said, "Hey, I can go get other
screws, but I'll be gone for half an
hour." I was like, "No, not again." So,
I figured out how to get the 6-32 screws
in the M3 holes.
Okay. Any screw is a self-tapper if you
try hard enough.
>> How does the boss feel about that?
>> Uh
>> Would you allow that?
>> Well, it works.
>> [laughter]
>> Hey, boss. Yeah, I think maybe we will
take the fan off. That's a good idea.
So, new BIOS on here. This seems
>> Well, the RAM is still slow.
>> I well
>> [laughter]
>> We can see here, CPU usage 99% 4.83 GHz.
Right in line with what we would expect.
We're making money. Let's go.
>> You may have noticed that Linus hasn't
started building our PC yet. And given
it's 3:00 p.m., we're starting to get
nervous. So, we asked a
Mandarin-speaking fan to go in and tell
the shopkeeper about our special order
and make sure Linus finishes it in time.
But then the guy just didn't come out.
So, now I'm literally sweating. He's
been there 10 minutes.
>> But eventually, he emerged. Our man got
it done.
Message received.
Uh boss texts us about this, so he just
sent you an update with the frequencies
running it over 4 GHz now. Honestly, I
could not explain to you why it was in
that state. It's running as we would
expect now. So, just simple BIOS update
and like it's
it's responsive now. Feel like I'm
playing PC Building Simulator in real
life. Enjoy your fixed system.
>> Thank you.
>> See you later.
>> See you.
>> Okay. Two for you, two for me, right?
>> Okay.
>> No, I can't No, [laughter] no, no.
He has more water cooling stuff than I
do. There's so many blocks.
But I think this one's not actually
broken. He says no post, but his 24-pin
is not connected. I think we found part
of your problem right there, sir. It's
like on the one hand it's so high-end,
but he has like 250 US dollars worth of
Noctua fans in here.
>> And then like this water blocks.
>> This and random random screws.
>> I guess I'll try this one.
>> Oh, okay. We're trying to figure out if
we can get this triple in here. It's
pretty tight. Oh, dude, we got it. Right
there, we're in.
>> [laughter]
>> That's tight. It works. Unlike buddy's
motherboard over here.
>> Yeah, I even put a new power supply on
and still doesn't work. Maybe the
motherboard [music] is dead.
>> Well, we can send him an update then, at
least. Hey, your motherboard's dead. Do
you want to deal with ASUS for RMA or do
you want to buy a new board? That's
that's the customer's choice. We offer
the customer choice here, okay? At
Well, yeah, what's our store called? I
don't remember.
>> IKYPC. [music]
>> Yeah, IKYPC. I'm trying to come up with
something like what's IKYPC stand for.
The first thing that popped into my mind
is like I kill your PC. Probably that's
not what it stands for.
>> [laughter]
>> Right? No, that's not it, right?
>> No, it's not.
>> This is the customer who asked for cable
management help. Honestly, it's not the
worst thing I've ever seen. He says
sometimes the system shuts down when he
bumps it. So, probably some loose
connection here somewhere. The radiator
is supposed to go here.
He's He's got it on the other side.
Also, he has two different RGB hubs in
here.
>> This looks like you have to tear it all
apart.
>> [laughter]
>> Bad news, boss.
One out of eight screws
snapped off in it.
>> You can change it new one. So, that's
okay.
>> I will be as careful as I can. It worked
on the first one and I got three of
these.
>> We have 20 more after you if you can
break it all.
>> [laughter]
>> You're leaving again?
>> Yep. Half hour.
Be tough.
>> [laughter]
>> Dude, I should have this in the first
place. Doesn't look factory, but like
would you notice?
>> Even from 12 in away? No.
>> Cool. The question now is what's the
bigger risk? Trying to do this three
more times or trying to drive these
not the right thread screws in three
more times. Trying to drive the screws
again is definitely faster, so I think
we're going to do that. Please work.
Please do not snap off.
Okay, one down, two to go.
I found another problem. I was all
excited. I got the screws driven into
this stupid thing. Stupid that has to go
into this as well. Out comes the
radiator, on goes the pump mounting
bracket. Do you think he did this on
purpose?
So that I would have such a challenging
build on my first day. This is actually
like legitimately not easy. So you have
a new problem.
The screw is not long enough now to go
through here.
>> Uh-huh.
>> But that's okay. New plan.
I'm just going to put it like here.
And we'll make four holes. Okay.
>> Okay.
>> We can try it.
>> Okay.
>> Screw the hole.
>> Yeah.
All right. We didn't break it. It's
coming together, right? Yep. There's a
plan. Tell me something.
Did you do this on purpose? Like save a
quite challenging build for me to do
today? Or
>> Well, actually I was doing this this
week so
>> It's definitely a challenging one.
In video production, there are sometimes
problems that you can't even conceive
of. For example, our PC is being built,
but it's being built by the boss. Look,
he's even got the RAM in there already.
Not Linus. And that's a problem. So we
found a second spy to go in and clarify
what we're actually after. And this is
where the plot almost completely blows
up. The boss was confused. He kept
trying to switch to English, and Linus
started to pay attention to what was
happening. So I had to think fast.
>> You can ask him. Hello?
>> I accept.
>> You accept. Go. Thank you.
>> Thanks, man.
Um
>> He basically like taking a picture of
you.
>> I pointed at the gift bag that the guy
was holding and was like, "Oh, you have
a gift? I can accept that. Let's go talk
outside."
>> Okay.
>> Are we good?
>> No.
>> No.
>> Uh-huh.
>> The boss didn't understand. He thought
he was telling him to call off the whole
thing.
>> Still alive, but we haven't solved the
problem. So, now what are we going to
do?
>> We got a problem, boss. This back plate
is so tall. Maybe we use a Dremel.
>> Oh, maybe we can we can make [music] the
GPU straight.
>> Oh, you want like a vertical mount?
>> Yeah.
>> Last resort, we write a note for the
boss and I gave it to Shawn Eberle on
the biz team to hand to the guy.
>> All right, we'll get another one. Okay.
>> Okay,
I'll take a break.
Yeah, I might run to the washroom.
>> And then mercifully, like mana from
heaven, Linus asked to go to the
bathroom. Yes!
Yes! So, he was gone. We cleared
everything up with the boss.
Crisis averted. We're good to go.
Oh sh
>> I I'm going to need one that has the
actual riser cable so I can keep going.
Do we have that?
>> Uh I ordered a new one, so considering
we're waiting that thing.
>> Okay.
>> This customer wanted get his PC about
8:00.
But it's emergency, so.
>> In 2 hours?
>> Yeah.
>> Well, we can
>> Well, I built it half already.
>> It's not water cooled, [music] right?
>> Well, it's AIO.
>> Okay.
>> [laughter]
>> So, maybe you can help me.
>> Okay, yeah, I can do that.
>> Okay.
>> Ready. Realistically, I want to get this
done even [music] sooner
than
the customer is asking because I really
need to get back to [music] that other
system. I want to finish that system
today. I do not want to leave that
unfulfilled.
What a day.
I'm tired, boss. You know, just just a
simple assignment. Put in the AIO, put
in the GPU.
>> I know this is going to take a picture.
>> Uh sorry, I'm not doing pictures today.
I'm working.
You can snap a picture [music] from out
there if you want though.
But uh the boss has got me building
systems.
>> He says no break.
>> You can. I didn't say that. He said it
with his eyes. Cable management
Okay.
>> B+ today.
>> B+. Oh, B+ to A. Okay, GPU mount done.
Not going anywhere.
>> That looks all right. That looks okay.
[laughter]
>> Listen, if you want a good cable
management job, you don't ask for a rush
order right?
Right boss?
Yep. Yep.
>> [laughter]
>> Look at him. He's in on the joke. He
loves it. Okay.
I think we're good. We make sure it
works.
>> [laughter]
>> Probably not a terrible idea.
>> no cable line over
>> Oh, I got one here. Oops. Okay, I'm on
it. I'm on it, boss. New CPUs installed.
Uh total RAM 32 gigs. Let's get in the
BIOS here. How's the rebuild going on
that poor guy's system?
>> Well, I'm still
cable managing.
>> I now maybe I'll grade your cable
management.
>> [laughter]
>> It's C.
>> Well, it's not finished yet.
>> C.
There's a storm outside.
Oh my goodness.
By the way, there was one thing I
couldn't figure out on this one. Like
this screen, is it just like glued in?
It's so crooked.
>> Well,
well, it's sticky here, so maybe
>> crying out loud. He just
>> Yeah, you just stick it in.
>> It's definitely, you know, it's better
now. Also, I noticed his clip for his
12-volt 2x6 is broken. Oh, wait. Oh, no,
I I bent it a little. Now I think Okay,
it's working now. Okay, good. We don't
want that to burn up. Not that I kill
your PC.
>> [laughter]
>> Should we take the peels off? It'll look
nicer.
Oh no.
Got the technique, bottom-up technique.
No.
My lunch is here, but the boss says I
have to finish this system.
>> No, I didn't say that. I didn't say
that.
>> She She says you finish the system, then
you eat.
>> Okay, yes. Yes, sir.
>> I didn't.
Really?
>> What?
>> Your face.
>> What the
What the
>> [laughter]
>> What the heck?
Are we Did we get trolled on this or
what?
>> Okay.
>> I take it back. It's not the worst PC
ever made.
>> [laughter]
>> It looks a lot better now that the cable
management doesn't suck.
>> Oh, man. I just really wish this wasn't
crooked.
>> [laughter]
>> I mean, the thing is pure post
anyway, so it might as well be
posted crooked.
>> We ran into a challenge.
>> There's no Windows 10 drivers for the
Wi-Fi 7 network card that's on here.
>> We have to put Windows 11 on it. I think
we're just going to have to install
fresh.
>> No GPU detected.
>> Yep.
>> So, maybe the riser is not detected or
it's not plugged in properly.
>> I didn't do that.
The boss did that.
>> Although, it is technically [music]
possible that while I was installing the
vertical mount that I disrupted it.
>> So, it could have been anyone.
>> Probably James.
>> What the
>> I don't think all the hardline water
cooling is happening between now and the
end of my shift, which is uh
in 1 hour. But, I can at least get it as
prepped as possible.
>> Oh, is it up?
>> Yep.
>> Hey, let's go.
>> Oh. Hello?
>> Oh, you said I can come back and get my
PC.
>> Oh. Yes.
So, the wiring's all fixed. There's not
really much we can do about your RGB
software because you went and you bought
RGB things from like every different
>> Yeah.
>> manufacturer.
>> Cuz I I went online. I see this one
looked cool, that one looked cool. So, I
just ordered every single one of them.
Oh, I see lots of faces.
>> Yep. Well, yeah. That Well, you put that
there.
That's your fault.
>> Oh, this is this is so much more
beautiful.
>> That's That's what that's what we do at
I C Y P C.
>> Oh, this looks nice.
>> Or I K, something.
>> C.
>> I K Y P C. Uh also, we we could not
straighten this screen because you used
permanent tape.
>> Sonder.
>> You used VHB tape.
>> Yeah, cuz there was the stand thing, but
it wouldn't go on on there.
>> Right. So, you just you put VHB on there
and put it on.
>> there.
>> Yeah, forever. You can see the back is
like pretty tidy now, too. All the RGB
hubs are all tucked down now.
>> Oh, this looks so nice.
>> Yeah.
>> I'm on my way outside then.
>> Okay.
>> Oh, yeah. Sorry.
>> Do you even want a tech tip?
>> Uh
I I I never mind tech tips. I like tech
tips.
>> I'll get you a tip if you like. Tip.
>> Oh, no. No. No. I don't need a tip. Oh,
no. No. I'm good. Thank you. Not not not
that kind of tip. I'm good.
>> Here you go.
>> Okay, thanks.
>> Man, it's been a while since I've done
any hardline tubing. Now, I normally use
a little band saw to cut it. What do you
have?
Oh.
Oh. Okay.
>> What could go wrong?
>> That's why my finger is like this.
>> Okay. It has been a while.
Hopefully, I remember how to do this.
>> Yeah, I just use my hands.
>> I know. I I know. I remember that from
last time. Those U bends though.
>> Yeah, pretty good.
Yeah, I'd give you an I'll give you A.
>> A.
>> Big moment.
Test fitting the first tube. Hey.
>> Did I mess up?
>> Wait. What what what what what what's
that supposed to mean? There we go.
Actually, you know what? That's better
than I thought that was going to go,
too. We might make more progress than I
thought here.
How's this doing? All right. That son of
a did it. Now, we just need to
find the perfect person to help with the
reveal.
I mean, it's [music] coming together
like
really well. The first
The first two runs have gone great.
>> Sorry, I'm an hour late.
>> My bad.
>> You're an hour late for what?
>> Yeah. Uh I'm here to pick up a computer.
I was supposed to be here like 8.
>> Wait, is this for you?
Oh, we do actually have a computer
that's due at 8.
>> Is it Is this

Well, I'm glad I did a good job of
building it.
>> How else were you going to have a
computer to give away?
>> Oh, you've
>> Hey, by the way, that still needs to be
paid for.
>> So, everyone knew this but me?
>> I think even some of the people waiting
do.
>> [laughter]
>> I see how it is.
Okay, well, it's all set up now, sir.
Me.
>> As long as it benchmarks well, I think
we'll be a happy customer.
>> You're taking my hardline tubing table,
Luke.
>> What were you tubing?
>> Uh the one behind you.
>> Oh.
>> Being caught guard off
Being caught guard on this is fine in
terms of I don't mind giving away a PC,
but I didn't like let my bank know. Like
I actually don't know if I have the
means to pay for this right now. All
right, James's company card works, so I
guess we're good to go. Wait.
Oh sorry.
>> It's okay.
I put the saw there cuz I didn't think
we were going to be moving around that
much.
>> [laughter]
>> Okay. All right. All right. Geez, these
guys trolling me here. All right, well,
here you guys go. Um
>> Order fulfilled.
>> I still have a system to finish.
>> Good luck.
>> We got three more runs.
>> Yeah, but unfortunately, the market
doesn't let us work that
late.
>> So,
Wait, what do you Oh, you mean like we
have to leave the mall?
>> Yeah.
>> Okay, we're finishing this PC.
The mall's going to have to kick us out.
That was a cool little technique, by the
way. I I like that, using the tiles to
get your 90. Actually,
that's pretty damn good.
>> [laughter]
>> Dude, I did that by hand. Now I just
have to make sure I don't cut it the
wrong way.
>> Shutting us down. Shutting us down,
Glenn.
>> Did they turn off the lights? No, we're
so close. We're so close. One more. The
boss just finished this 90. I just got
to do one more 90. Just got to crank it.
Crank a 90.
>> Oh, yeah.
>> Yep.
>> Looks great.
>> Looks good.
You know what? I do think I'm an A
employee.
>> All right. I'll be A plus.
>> Let's fill it. There she goes.
>> Oh, great.
>> Dude, this looks flipping gorgeous.
Up to standard, right?
>> Yep.
>> That is a sick
looking system.
What do you think, boss? Have I got what
it takes to work in a tech shop?
>> Of course.
>> You would hire me?
>> Yes, of course.
>> All right. So, what would you grade me
after 1 day as your employee?
>> I'll give him a
>> [music]
>> A plus.
>> A plus?
>> Yeah.
>> That's the best grade he's given me all
day.
>> [laughter]
>> Yeah.
>> Unfortunately, I'm sorry.
But,
I have to resign because I'm quite busy
tomorrow giving away the other PC.
>> Okay.
>> So, good luck, guys. Hey, you know if
you need a high-end system built, all
you got to do is go to IKY PC. Thank you

with you today. This was

let's go give away that other system
that made it so that I had to work
overtime to get the main one done. Way
to go, James.
>> What?
>> I have a feeling people are going to be
like waiting for us this time, which was
a big part of why I had decided we
weren't going to do a giveaway this
year.
>> It's the same spot.
>> Yeah.
>> If you do it again next year, you got to
change the spot up.
>> I'm not I'm not going to do it again
next year.
>> What if it was the same guy?
>> No.
No shot.
>> Upgrade.
>> No shot. Actually, it's a downgrade.
>> Kind of hard to beat the actual thing, I
guess.
>> This guy
he turns around and like
>> runs
>> charges into a direction. Dude, [music]
