    Come on HTC, I want you to live! I still have my htc m7 in great condition and clean everyday. You can't be doing this, like at all you are already losing money like crazy for a company that use to be top dog in the smartphone space.

    Pretty curious about the first time you saw a video from Linus. Mine was his review on the Razer Ouroboros and then the second was about the tech tool bag.

    1. Budget & Location
    $400USD
    any stores in US/Canada
    Cannot go over budget
    do not count Mail in Rebate
     
    2. Aim
    Items must be new in box
    Must be bought from a store, what store doesn't matter but shipping cost and taxes must be factored into the price
     
    The goal of this post is to create the best computer from NIB parts from a store that we can in order to have it compete with the scrapyard wars computers
     
    Must be a fully functioning computer with storage, a case... etc, but no OS required.

    Ofcourse not. During a gaming session I will not suddenly look through my case window (If i had one) going "OMG THAT LOOKS SO GOOOOOOD".
     
    You buy a pc for function, not form. That's my stance on it

    I'm indifferent, I'll go with whatever is cheaper. I can say I've had great experiences with Newegg though. For example, I ordered a monitor with 4-7 day shipping and it took 2 business days to ship. This has happened quite a few times with them.
