    When the effects of the tariffs kick in 4-6 months from now we are going to see an economic recession the likes of which most of us have never experienced. For a lot of folks computer components will take a back seat to basic necessities.

    News PC case and components maker Hyte pauses shipments to U.S. customers amid tariff pressures

    While you would be happy to pay more, another 9 folks would not. It’s rather simple economics at work and you’ll never get a US made product produced anywhere near the same price point. We havent even begun to see the real effects of the tarriffs on the economy. Give it another several...

    News Another RTX 5090 connector melts down, reportedly taking a Redditor's PSU with it

    Review AOC Porsche Design Agon Pro PD32M Review: High Style, High Performance

    Did April fools come twice this year? If this was OLED maybe it would justify the price but definitely not as is. Plus AOC? Gives me flashbacks to the 80’s with their crappy interference laden CRT monitors.
