    Greetings. I have a couple bad Klipsch 5.1 amps One humming with no inputs and one is suddenly dead. The one with the hum has white stuff on resistors or whatever the tan things are on the little board that's behind/between the two giant black 820uF 200V caps. Looking for a quote or...

    Amazon is Cracking Down on Top Reviewers

    Do you get all those emails offering you refunds for reviews? Is there a way to opt out?

    Amazon is Cracking Down on Top Reviewers

    The problem with the reviews is that even if you can ignore all fakes, most people will be rating 4-5 stars anyway. Products are generally self selected, and as such, there's bias. If I buy a Dyson, it's because I wanted to buy a Dyson, and I likely chose to pay more than I'd pay for a Hoover...

    Amazon is Cracking Down on Top Reviewers

    I'm a "top reviewer" or so the 10-20 emails I get a day in various forms of "engrish" claim. All offer a magic code for free or discounted stuff or my favorite, a PayPal refund of an Amazon purchase price in exchange for a review. Never took any one up on these, but somehow Amazon themselves...

    Pre-Order Sales of Battlefield V Have Been “Weak”

    Between Origin Premier (honestly why buy if you're gonna buy at least one more game), half baked previous BF launches, general fatigue with games like this, and many people seeing preorders as a scam, much of the lack of sales could be attributed to other factors.

    Dolphin Emulator Is Back on the Google Play Store

    I tried it on the Shield over a year ago ... Gamecube games worked most of the time. As an added bonus, all tend to work well with Shield controller. Wii games were much less successful. Many close to working, so the year may have helped.

    Best x99 mobo around $300 without tons of user complaints? (what's up with all the toasted CPUs?)

    It's hard to know what's doing on with Amazon and Newegg reviews, especially for a brand so popular with newbs like ASUS. I'd consider it a data point, but would consider comments/reviews here more. FWIW, the biggest issue prof builders have with ASUS is 1.0 bios and speed of updates with new...

    Best x99 mobo around $300 without tons of user complaints? (what's up with all the toasted CPUs?)

    Got a couple 6 core CPUs cheap from Intel (Retail Edge), so I bought an ASRock Extreme 4 X99 (original model) and ASUS Strix Gaming X99. Both ATX, and nominally in the same market segment (the ASUS is a newer design and a bit higher end). The ASRock has a 5930 and the Asus a 6850. The ASRock...

    Early MSI Z170 Motherboard Info

    Will there ever again be an elegant understated top notch MB? If only SuperMicro or Tyan made decent desktop boards.

    Thermaltake Suppressor F51 Mid-Tower Chassis Review @ [H]

    I get trying to move the conversation about Thermaltake's alleged (and I use that word to be kind, not infer that I don't see them as thieves) intellectual property theft to focus on the review, but ... Why hasn't the review been modified (on page 1) to acknowledge the serious allegations...
