    Three most popular hardware items on Newegg (all three may surprise you!) on Nov 02, 2025

    Yeah, that one shocks me. The other two really don't.

    EXODUS, a New Sci-Fi RPG from Ex-BioWare, 343, Electronic Arts, and Naughty Dog Developers, Gets New Screenshots and Development Updates

    That's kind of my feeling as well. I am also not a fan of the Temu style Mass Effect armor that the characters wear. We'll see how this plays out eventually I guess.

    Alienware 32 4K QD-OLED Gaming Monitor - AW3225QF for $849 ($350 off)

    I couldn't bring myself to spend nearly $1,000 on a 32" monitor today. It's not that I won't spend more on a monitor, I obviously did with my current display. But there is no way I could spend that much on a monitor that small.

    ASUS Goes Retro with Its ProArt PA401, PA602 Wood Edition PC Cases Available in Select Beige or Retro Brown Colors

    I worked at Comp USA from 1997 to 1999 and Best Buy (before Geek Squad) from 1999 to late 2000. I did a second stint at Comp USA part time around 2003 to 2004. I worked in the tech shop in both places and saw hundreds of gross *** machines. We saw cigarette smoke, ear wax covered paperclips...

    ASUS Goes Retro with Its ProArt PA401, PA602 Wood Edition PC Cases Available in Select Beige or Retro Brown Colors

    It's like the wood paneling absorbs and preserves cigarette smoke forever.

    ASUS Goes Retro with Its ProArt PA401, PA602 Wood Edition PC Cases Available in Select Beige or Retro Brown Colors

    I don't like the faux wood grain bullshit. Hell I don't like real wood grain on electronics. The **** is right out of the 1970's. Reminds me of wood paneling and the smell of cigarette smoke. I'll pass on that.

    More than Half of Those Surveyed in the U.S. Claim They Only Buy One or Two Video Games a Year

    This is about how often I buy games. Granted, there are years where I probably buy less and a few where I buy more. But on average, I think that's about right for me. I don't play that many games because I don't like most of them. The games I like, I play the ****ing **** out of. I think I...

    New York State Wants to Ban Flamethrowers Because of Elon Musk

    It's not surprising. They ban everything fun in states like that.

    Corsair HX1500i - thoughts?

    I think a lot of applications are better than iCUE, but that's hardly an endorsement. It's still crap. The Keychron web configurator is about the best I've seen so far. It's a web based interface and its pretty slick. You don't have to install anything.

    AMD Lays Blame for AM5 Socket Burnouts on Motherboard Manufacturers

    I've heard of ASUS and MSI having had the same issue, but issued BIOS updates quickly.

    Samsung Launches World’s First 115″ Micro RGB TV, 500 Hz OLED Gaming Monitor, and Two New Additions to the Odyssey G7 Series

    I agree that refresh rate shouldn't be the priority if you are looking for image quality. At 4K using max settings most games aren't going to hit 500FPS unless they are super old or something. It isn't as though Samsung doesn't have other offerings that are more in line with what you want though.

    Corsair HX1500i - thoughts?

    So will I. Bottom line, I've had three Corsair power supplies and none of them have lasted all that long. My AX1200 lasted all of 3 years I think and that's one of the longer lived ones. I've had issues with many of their other products and Corsair iCUE is awful.
