Has anyone tried to go to ncix.com lately? I did today and it won't load for me. I was mainly curious if their website finally came down considering they aren't in business anymore and it was still up.
Also here is a list of items that are being auctioned off from NCIX if anyone wants to look. http://bid.ableauctions.ca/NCIX-Richmond-Auction_as51658
Edit: Nevermind the site is back up.

The NCIX retail sites NCIX.com and Directcanada.com are still up with no mention of a bankruptcy. I wonder how many people who are not aware continue to shop on those sites. It seems very odd that they are still up and running and appear like its just business as usual.
There's no way to checkout on these sites now.

I'm curious if any ex-NCIXers would know more about the lots and items strewn around. For instance, I feel like the blue binned stuff looks to be open-box and in question, and the location of some item might tell some stories too (certain shelves/rooms are for testing/broken shit, who knows).
Personally, I'm not holding my breath about this and probably won't bother. All I have an interest in is a new GPU, but seriously doubt it's worth getting in on with already inflated retail prices, along with a 30% hike in fees/taxes after your bid. Seems still better to wait for Volta, if perhaps supply issues might be resolved by then. I don't expect Nvidia to ramp up fabrication for Pascal when Volta is just about to hit market this year, after all, so perhaps we'll see some pretty impressive output this year.
I know one thing is that according to exncix staffs on reddit, there wasn't enough inventory to build a complete PC. Keep in mind some pictures show CPUs most than likely those were for testing and such. NCIX in addition to selling parts, they ran a PC building business and had NCIX Tech Tips. The big concern for ex-employees (and maybe some customers?) is personal data getting leaked. Alot of times when bankrupt companies have their HQ liquidated the office PCs and Servers don't get wiped. Those PCs could contain anywhere from resumes to personal info like names, addresses, phone numbers, CC info, and Social Security #s (or whatever Canada equivalent is). The auction company just wants to make as much money as possible to pay off debt without regards to privacy.

Since they owe me $1800, can I just walk out with $1800 worth of goods?
Honestly I wonder if they are going to have problems at the auction since people lost money to them. Also I heard on Reddit that some people's PC's are still there for warranty service.

Why did they go under or fail or whatever term is correct here? Was customer care horrible or what?
Bad decisions by the owner. Mainly investing in the stores instead of online. Also he made some other bad business decisions that affected ncix. Go check out reddit.com/user/exncix and Reddit.com/user/exncixstaff

Yea. Too bad I don't have time to drop by and pick up some memorabilia.

I just realized that. Mods can lock this thread.

I guess NCIX is finally having their bankruptcy auction.

Tech videos that make people mad you say?
If so, those are rookie numbers:

I know about those videos, but I mean actual tech videos that don't involve breaking things.

This channel is still a thing?
Yes. I personally don't watch anymore, but it popped up in my sub box and had to share.

Linus should just make tech videos that make people mad more often. 2.3 Million views, 68K likes, 9K dislikes, and 17,234 comments are very good on the Amazon Go video.

Welcome, that PC you are looking at, what Xeons are in it? How many cores and clock speeds are they.

Just saw a rig on craigslist, i'm looking for a dedicated streaming machine. I'd like to stream at 1080p 60fps, my gaming rig can handle games at those settings but I cant stream settings that high at the same time.
The rig is a Dell Precision 690 W/ dual xeons. Quad cores clocked at 2.66ghz (not sure if 4 physical cores or digital 2 physical)
It has 16 GB of DDR2 memory
Hes only asking $100 for it, and im willing to gamble a little.
I just want to know if the multiple cores will make up for the lack of speed.
Will this rig theoretically be able to stream W/ OBS at 1080-60?
I can add a graphics card if need be.
Watch this video. They have good tips.

I need it for a very gpu intensive program that im going to use and my titan xp doesnt have enough power
Your 14.
You don't need a Tesla.
Who is giving you the money for said Tesla?
What program is it?
Also you don't need a Titan Xp (unless you are gaming in 4k or need it for a specialized purpose).
You don't need a Quadro or a Titian V either.
Heck I'm 19 and my 1070 is good enough for me (and I am an IT Student that needs CPU power more than anything and what I have in my PCs is good enough).

Was this posted? They said it would happen at CES just like years past on the show last week

It was canceled due to CES.

I been using IFTT with my Amazon Alexa for the past year and I have it send me a notification everytime my alarm goes off and it is instant. I also have it track what songs it plays in a spreadsheet and other Alexa stuff. Other things I use it for is like weather notifications on my phone each morning, cross-platform social media posting, etc... The possibilities are limitless even with pre-existing Applets.

Would a tech news segment not overlap what the Wan show provides, albeit, in a smaller, easily digestible format? Granted, the Wan Show gives us bits and pieces of some of the inner workings of LTT, though I fear the news bit would be diminished somewhat by the presence of a tech news channel being run alongside.
Here is Linus's last Netlinked in 2015:
Here is the WAN Show from that same week in 2015:
They could easily do both still without any negative impact because they are very different.
For Example this WAN they didn't even cover news and were over an hour late right after they moved to the new office and the views were decent:

You can add WiFi. Using a usb or adding a internal card.
