wow, if this is true thats really sad.
it's been heartbreaking watching all the small mod shops close up realizing that that era of pc enthusiast is on its way out. so many of the mod companies are either gone or have very tiny inventories nowadays.
that said i admittedly only shopped at frozencpu when they had something nowhere else did because they reamed hard on shipping.
Performance-pcs.com is still up. But their website redesign in the past few months is a huge PITA. I've heard stories on some customer service issues with them, but I have never confirmed anything since all of my orders have been fine.
Well that is an interesting statement, Seems alive and well to me.
I used to love shopping at FrozenCPU. I really stopped when they became less and less competitive with pricing. FrozenCPU always fulfilled my orders quickly and accurately. If they made a mistake they always made it right. Sad to see them go.
it's alive, but it was bigger before. we are coming into the era of disposable tech.
more mods are big dollar fab mods, which are awesome, but we are sort of losing the average modder.
we're here which means it will still be kicking, but think about it, xoxide shut down a while back (the real xoxide, not the shell that was bought), the inventory at svc is way down, PTS is gone, Danger Den is gone.
not saying its over or anything, just that the viability of those businesses is telling that the market isn't what it used to be. I poked around amazon and it's not like the big A stole all their business. It doesn't even have some of the stuff those shops did.
So if this is true and another big player is down. Its a sad loss for the DIY mod community.
dunno maybe i'm looking at it wrong, but just sort of what i've been seeing nowadays, even as PC gaming is back on an upswing.
sounds like the owner snorted everything away....

I think we're getting to the point where most hardware is simultaneously so fast and runs so cool even on air that watercooling just isn't as much of a thing as it was a decade or more ago.
It definitely isn't. That's for sure. You can get 99% of whatever you'd want done CPU wise with a standard self-contained unit like the H1xxi series.
Well no shit? Sell your stuff for more than anyone else and no one will buy anything.
