    Xoleras, good points. I worked at Diamond MM (Modem group) back in the 90's. I actually worked for Supra Corporation (Modems for Amiga, Commodore and Mac back then) and we were acquired. I also worked for USRobotics in the late 90's. Keep in mind that employees come and go, and the...

    xoleras 2[H]4U, 2.4 Years (thought I hit quote - swing and a miss) All good dude and you make great points. If I'm going to drop some cash on something, I want to have some support from the company that made it. And I hope that Galaxy chimes in here sometime soon to give people an...

    Great points and spot on. I remember when Intel stopped selling Ethernet NICs directly and screwed the entire market... fun times..

    Good question (and response). There are two ways to look at it. From the AIB side and from the NV side. From the NVIDIA (or AMD) side of things, there are a number of factors. Trying to own the entire system takes a lot of work, time and money. You need everything from a chipset R&D...

    So we went from ALL CAPS to swearing every other word.. I guess if you can't get your point across successfully, try a new tactic.. Read the thread closer. There never was a Galaxy NA office. There was a rep firm that may have called themselves that unofficially, but they had zero...

    LOL.. You crack me up. As soon as EVGA, ZOTAC and the rest of the AIB's post their confidential stock numbers, contract information, I'm sure Galaxy will jump right in. Galaxy can tell you whatever they want (or don't want)... I don't work for them. Who am I? Same as you except I've...

    Guys I worked in tech for 20 years (Supra, USRobotics, BFG) You have to understand the sales channel. You don't call up Newegg and say "Hey I'd like to sell my product there" and have it show up the next day, week or even month. As was mentioned in the article, Galaxy parted ways with the...

    I guess we know where the fired reps went! Zotac makes nice mini systems. Galaxy should start selling AMD stuff as well...

    I'm not sure how people are reading into this that Galaxy is out of business or something. They are one of the biggest brands in Japan/China/Korea and also do well in Europe. They parted ways with their rep team here in the US and have stated they are still here. I'm as cautious as...

    Galaxy is based in Hong Kong. Like many companies overseas they use rep firms to sell products in the US (and other markets). The two friends Kyle referenced were not owners but simply a rep firm.

    I'd give them a few weeks... I'm sure you'll hear more details... Maybe not on [H] but it will come out...

    Keep in mind that things take time. If the sale force here was dumped, Galaxy will probably need to get new contracts in place for dealers, facilities etc. They are still taking support calls, still honoring RMAs, and I'm sure they will start selling again in the market shortly. Lets be...

    Not exactly sure what you are basing those statements on. They innovate on cooling more than just about anyone else.

    Pivos AIOS HD Media Player Review @ [H]

    Wow.. and I thought the Patriot Home Box Office or WD stuff had crappy UI's. I've been trying to "cut the cord" at home for about 4 years now and with a wife and kids its impossible. No way they would put up with using crap like this.. I have at least 6+ devices for media...
