    Portable USB-C Monitors

    The main thing with these portable monitors is to try and fine one that has a similar color profile to your laptop screen. I tried one, and the white was so "dirty" looking I literally had to adjust my eyes when I'd go from my laptop screen to the portable monitor. Sent it back and tried a...

    Why have RAM prices skyrocketed?

    AM4 platforms have even gotten a resurgence (not that they ever went away) thanks to this madness. Crazy that even 32gb of DDR4 is close to $200 now. I think I paid about $70 for my sticks three years ago for DDR4 3200. Not looking so bad now huh? It's kinda sad when older budget CPUs on the...

    AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT official: $299 for 8GB and $349 for 16GB model, launching June 5

    For every 5090Ti/9070XT buyer, there's probably 20+ who are just looking to get a better experience from integrated graphics or from a G series AMD processor. All of you can at least admit that a discrete GPU will always outperform an integrated solution even a discrete with only 8gb ram. Yes...

    $2500 5090 I’m out

    Not worth the potential of being scammed or worse, robbed either. Especially for a measly $250 profit.

    $2500 5090 I’m out

    That's kinda risky isn't it? I mean, I know the 4090 founder's edition was about $1700 retail I believe and it shot right up. We've reached insanity on new GPU prices I'd think and the people who actually can afford and want a 5090 are going to buy retail with phat return policy in case...

    TPU: "AMD has claimed the top ten spots in Amazon's best-selling and most wished-for CPUs"

    Perfect example of why the AM4 series just won't die. Most if not all B350 motherboards from several years ago still support them so it's a cheap, easy upgrade to bring an ageing system somewhat current (ish). Granted, a good, midrange GPU will do wonders as well but that 5600x is a darn fine...

    TPU: "AMD has claimed the top ten spots in Amazon's best-selling and most wished-for CPUs"

    I think more than anything else, we're just to the point that without a serious outlay of a decent amount of money on a GPU, most users and even gamers, have found that a 5600X is a very good and serviceable budget build cpu. Any of X3d variants (5600, 5700, 5800) will suffice for most gamers...

    Well with what shops charge nowadays, I'm still willing to get a little dirty to save a few hundred.

    Found: 1 TB NVME

    Shoot, if I had Microcenter closer than 3 hours, I'd be down for going every weekend chance I got.

    Wow, that actually might be worth something once you get it sorted. The old Z bikes from the 70's are worth a fortune if they are in good shape.

    Bikes are pretty easy to work on for the most part. The reality is it's just nuts and bolts. Bonus points for being carb'd and not FI'd. Today's bikes are getting too complicated with all the computer crap. It's a freaking motorcycle, not a luxury car although some of them are reaching luxury car prices (looking at you DCT Goldwings and Street Glides)
