Twitch PC is an OB kit that was purpose made from a YuFund grant allocation. Originally envisioned and planned by Ben Allen and then built and upgraded by Jamie Parker-East, OB5 was the start of YSTV's transition away from ATEM video switchers and to software switching using decklinks and software like OBS and vMix.

The name Twitch PC comes from an inside joke with Ben Allen, started by Will Stirk, about the apparent over the top specifications of the streaming pc for the time. Despite this, the name used to refer to the kit is usually just OB5.
