Kris Yee just wants to build a computer. Periodically a wheel is spun by an audience member which will hinder Kris as he builds the PC. He will attempt to build it within one hour. Getting blindfolded, using 1 arm, and being pelted by audience’s nerf guns? It sounded fun, but could cost too much in the end. Whether or not Kris makes it, at the end of the build a random audience member will win the PC!
