    GN: Recap of MSI Controversy News & "Scalping" Claims

    Believe me, I'm laughing. The screen captures hidden in a spoiler in my post at the other site merely substantiate who Starlit Partner is, and their relationship with MSI (they're both one in the same; and Starlit works out of MSI's US location). There's no confusing that, even if Starlit is...

    Just want to extend a big fat middle finger to every major hardware review site/channel out there

    Just what do you think you're doing Bigbluefe? Bigbluefe, I really think I'm entitled to an answer to that question. I know everything hasn't been quite right with me but I assure you now, very confidently, that it's going to be alright again. I feel much better now. I really do. Look Bigbluefe...

    For the 96% who failed to get a 3080

    I have a 2080ti so I'm not in a hurry to move to the next gen. I also don't typically pick up the latest and greatest and don't mind waiting a while. I do like my tech toys though and with a new W-3175X scheduled to arrive Saturday (paid $2,000 plus tax for it), I also picked up an SR-3 from...

    Remember, Leather Jacket is not your friend. He has a vested interest in taking as much of everyone's money as possible within the realm of what's legal. Coming Soon: Space Invaders 4K -- 3090 in 2020

    PSA: Measure Twice - Order Once

    Ain't it the truth (thanks, bud). Though the owner of that build could always use a pcie flex cable and leave it mounted crooked. Maybe emphasize the slant with some custom rgb lighting in the form of arrows pointing at it and a support bracket that's crooked as well. Who knows, he might even...

    GPU Market Gets Flooded With Used GeForce RTX 2080 Ti’s

    Again, I think we'll have to wait and see, but I'm not sure I'd keep my hopes up given what we've experienced the past few years. Everyone from manufacturers to official vendors to "professional" gougers is in the game to make a profit. It could be interesting to see just how much of NVIDIA's...

    Rumor has it there's going to be a special edition of the RTX 30xx that comes in a box autographed by LJ, which will be released during the 30xx series refresh in 2021. According to that scuttlebutt, it'll be accompanied by a little action man figurine that looks like LJ and talks when you pull...

    Newegg to start charging sales tax to eight new states starting July 1st

    Yeah, that coupled with sales volume triggers as defined by sales tax nexus agreements pretty much just about ensures that all states which collect sales taxes will sooner or later end up joining the crowd.

    "Captain Marvel" Trolled the Trolls with a $455M Global Launch

    Meh, I'm an older relic who's a bit burned out by Disney myself, though I might watch it when it's released to the streamers as a rental. Not really in a hurry. In the meantime, I've got films like Flags of our Fathers should I feel the need to immerse myself in something espousing heroism. At...

    Got a Spare $43,000? You Could Spend It All on This Monster Gaming PC

    I'd personally rather spend 43K on a new truck, or a slightly used, beefed-up one with a shotgun rack. Heck for 43K, I could probably also pick up the shotguns to go in the rack, a good supply of ammo, and even maybe a new mama tat.

    Nostalgia for the 90s? No way, at least not at my end. But I do have a short story to share about my early days on the Internet, at least with respect to online privacy. I was going through a pretty nasty interstate custody battle back around the end of 1994, one I couldn't afford. I was...
