Admittedly, it seemed to be quite a challenge putting all of the finishing touches on and testing the new PC. The good news, Linus finished it on time and revealed other hidden features. This included the Creeper’s head, loaded with a spring to mimic an explosion.

PewDiePie has not yet commented on the incredible work that Linus put into his PC. However, it is likely that he will make a video reacting to the gift at some point.
