    I just found out I'm not going to be able to go this year, as travel costs from Michigan and unfeasible at this time. I'm giving away my ticket, as I don't use Venmo/PayPal/etc.
     
    I'm okay with eating the cost, I just want to make sure someone that will be able to make it gets the ticket. Also, if you can bring a computer, you'll be able to!
     
    Get back to me here or on Twitter and we'll hash out the details.

    I'm in Michigan. Building a Mini ITX system just for the show, because driving across the continent is not an option. I'll probably buy a monitor once I get there.

    I bounce between a few forums.  I go elsewhere if I want serious help or news.  I like this community more for shooting the shit with people and definitely nothing serious.

    Perhaps. That's basically what this topic was for me, I saw it in my Google now feed on my phone. In all honesty though, it's more than just that. Most of the posts I've made on this forum end up with a lot of mocking and/or dismissive comments along with the constructive ones; that alone makes me not want to do much with this site. That said, I suppose there's no getting away from trolls.

    Supporting a longstanding underdog like AMD is about the long game though, and I've always taken that stance; I think in terms of decades, not quarters or fiscal years.  I'm more worried about their sustainability as a company.  The more people that jump ship, the less likely they'll be around at some time in the future, and Intel has no other competitors in this space; at this point it's about keeping the industry competitive as well, which means AMD needs all the support they can muster.  I have faith that they can develop chips to rival Intel's offerings, but they won't if the market demand isn't there.  What can I, as one person do about all of this?  Not much, but that won't stop me.  I respect people that have differing views, I just ask for that same consideration.
     
    As for building better price to performance Intel rigs?  I get that, because I also build PCs professionally; I build what my customers want, and most just want performance now.  The common user doesn't think about the computing industry like I do.  I've... had to come to terms with that.  As long as I can do what I need to with the rigs I build for myself, I'm okay not having that better performance (for the reasoning stated above).

    Wait for Zen if you don't want Intel. Looks pretty promising from what I have seen up till now. But it would need some real user benchmarks to see if Zen lives up to the expectations (I really hope it will). If it doesn't, then go with Intel.

    I would wait. If you're deadset on AMD (which isn't the mindset I'd recommend to have), then Zen would be worth waiting for. So far, it looks like a big leap from the AM3+ socket. Just how far, we don't know.

    Well, it's 2016 and am3+ is crap, so if you're not going to go Intel, then wait for Zen. Plus an 8350 is barely an improvement over an 8150.

    Zen hands down.  I just switched from a 8350 to a i7 6700k.  The 8350 was having issues and I could feel it was dated with daily tasks.  I really hope zen brings something to the table because I was a huge amd fan when the 8350 was first released and I have now completely switched to intel and NVidia.

    I too understand and appreciate the underdog stance, when me and my friends were building our rigs in 2014, they all chose AMD but I couldn't because there weren't any good MATX boards since I needed a smaller rig. I rock their GPUs though because they age like fine wine and I don't have the cash to upgrade every year or two.

    You know, I'm just a little miffed.  I bought a 980 just a month ago, before I even realized the 980ti was coming out.  Now I feel like I missed out on a card leaps and bounds beter that was only about $100 US more.  Very annoying.  I mean, a 980 is still way better than what I was running before, but nevertheless...

    Arma_Sektos reacted to Gikero in Do people actualy keep their PC clean?   
    I generally do a fresh install of OSes once a year. I probably clean off old thermal paste more often than needed, once a year. I live in a desert and it is quite dusty, so around once every 1-2 months. I also keep spare fans for my gaming laptop and desktops, as I don't want to be without if a fan dies.

    Almost none of my clients dust out their machines, so I am doing that on a near daily basis. The worst PCs belong to indoor smokers...
