All I get out of this whole situation is a bunch of Youtubers acting like children over a fucking $900 water cooling block. You know what, I'm going to call out this water cooling block too. If you spend $900 on a PC water cooling block, you're a fucking idiot. The end.
Wait was $900 supposed to be the retail price? I assumed $900 was the prototype manufacturing cost of that unit. I.E. how much the company was out of pocket once Linus ran off and sold their shit.
If I'm looking correctly it's this https://billetlabs.com/products/monoblock where I don't see anything about a prototype but it's asking me for $905 reduced to $840 (as a preorder discount) to buy one.
Yeah it's just such a crazy price that when I first heard it I assumed it was the inflated prototyping cost, not final retail.
Especially since it'll only fit that card and in 5 years, tops, you need to upgrade.
It's not just about the cooling block, though that was a really obviously stupid thing they did.
It's about a pattern of lack of integrity and honesty.
I don't feel that strongly about it, but this is a great post lol
