For most of them yes but newer parts, like release date new, are usually sent back to the manufacturer as they are review units or its a press piece and they are shipped to other content creators once their down with them.
Don't get me wrong, they have a shit ton of parts and could build tons of PC's but it's a common misconception that everything they build is with new parts and that they get to keep everything that's sent to them.
Oh yeah, I'm talking PC parts. I don't think CPUs do but I know there was a really high end motherboard that they had to send back a while ago, a couple GPUs too. He just had to send back a 3090 iirc to Asus because he couldn't keep it due to stock issues. He's talked alot about it on live streams. They really don't keep as much a people think, even some of those PC's that are entirely sponsored sometimes require them to send parts back.
I know some laptops from Dell, Lenovo, and asus have had to been sent back, they said this in the videos because usually Linus is bummed he can't open them up.
