Why I Love Tom's Hardware (TH)... I had been building/modding PCs every couple of years since 1997 up until 2010... but due to health issues and budget constraints, I had to lay low on this until the Fall of 2014. During that 4-year hiatus, TH provided me with (as well as numerous readers) with invaluable PC hardware news, updates and what was forthcoming.
When the timing was right, budget in-hand and after seeing numerous and thorough PC hardware reviews (and) members inputs on those reviews, I pulled the trigger and built MY "dream machine" in the Fall of 2014.
Everything in my rig worked right out of the box and is still purring along like day one, if not better... Even though I have the technical knowledge of the "how to", without TH, I don't think I would not have made the sound hardware purchasing decisions I did and have the PC that I have today.
Thanks TH and keep up the good work!
