Yeah, I don't understand why people thinking "that's what journalists are obligated to do". If a food journalist goes in to try a place and the service is bad, the journalist doesn't need to ask for comment about their side of the bad service. It's literally not even mental gymnastics to see how this relates. However people always say "apples and oranges" without considering they both are freaking fruit. In an ideal situation where details are obscure, sure, get both sides of a story. This what pretty cut and dry on "what happened", what wasn't 100% sure is the "how" but when you have leadership acting like nothing bad happened because he doesn't keep up with managing his company that's how this happens. Thanks for actually understanding this.

Glad to see some Daniel Owen and HDTVTest love in here. No frills just solid information.

1. Well technically speaking, a journalist can review a place like any other. (I get what you mean but not all examples are perfect.) 2. Given LMG screws up so much and keeps coming out with his hands up; maybe he should get the same treatment Anker did? 3. Steve did this with Newegg and others. I'm by far from his white night as I do feel he is hypercritical of businesses which is a turn off, but I will say his words, "that he didn't want to get a response from LMG" was because Linus made a post on LTT Forums and he took that as his response. This is why he used the words gaslighting. If you are perceiving him as a god that seems to be more of an issue with your perception than the channel itself. I mean, we could say the same thing about LMG touting their labs and trying to dunk on other benchmark / testers. Also, I'll take a page from Steve here and not pursue a further comment. Edited for clarity*

Well, if I recall correctly Steve doesn't always reach out for comment especially when information just hits. Second when people create publications / news it does not prevent people from reporting on what has happened, and then proceed to seek out further comment and information. Someone has said this before but if you go to a store and have a less than stellar experience do you immediately ask to speak their manager or do you write a review about it? What if this is a repeat time of a less than stellar experience? Do you still ask for the same manager who potentially apologized earlier? LTT has essentially established a history of bungling something up, refusing to apologize, doubling down, "realizing they are wrong", and making an apology about it later. This doesn't even account to the hypocritical nature regarding adblocks/pirating. Steve is beyond perfect, but I will say just like Coffeezilla he does shed light on people doing wrong and wants them to correct the behavior. I thinking reaching out to LTT in this instance would have just swept everything under the rug and they would have learned nothing. Heck, there isn't even proof that they learned anything even after this. I'd almost bet good money they have another mass issue so long as Linus refuses to go through a PR person.

Woah woah woah. This is off-topic but if you want to learn about TV(s) you watch HDTVTest on youtube. Or at bare minimum watch Stop The FOMO. Offense/No-Offense to LTT, but they don't hold a candle to this man (HDTVtest) and you'll learn way more from these two people. FFS, Sony took HDTVtest's critique about a A95K setting and his suggestion and implemented it on the new up coming A95L. Thank me later. https://www.youtube.com/@hdtvtest - HDTVtest https://www.youtube.com/@stopthefomo - Stop the FOMO

So much appreciated! I'll look into these parts and take notes of more dimensions now that I have a good base for this build

Is that new link another case it would fit in by chance?

Sorry for the super late reply, I got tied up for days...EVGA 2080TI black edition.

I already have a 2080 ti. Technically the budget is irrelevant. I just don't want to go overboard.

Budget (including currency): Let's say $2000 Country: USA >>> Japan Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Adobe Suite, CAD, Modern games maxed Other details: Purpose: I'll likely be moving for work this next summer to Japan and I want to build a PC that can be as small as possible that would function with their power standards abroad. The goal would be to fit full sized graphics card (2080TI) inside of the PC and withstand an airplane ride, no glass. I will also want recommendations for potentially an external gpu enclosure that would work to pair with a laptop. I would also like to use AMD processor if possible. Parts to Retain: I'll try and retain my Headphones (Fostex TH900), Asgard 3, Mouse/Keyboard/Tartarus Pro, 2080ti. Random Note: I do have a 2700x in my current build and a 1700x in my wife's build, I don't think these would be worth taking, neither would my monitors, 32" LG32GK850 F&G. I won't need much of a recommendation on monitors, I'm picky so I'll buy one once I'm there. Concerns: I know after consulting someone about moving my Asgard 3 over they mentioned using a stepdown transformer since the outlet standard in Japan is A/B, 2 prong only. It is also 100V vs the USA 120V. I would like to avoid using a stepdown transformer if possible and I feel like my asgard may end up too big to go alongside 2 smaller PC builds. Let me know of any concerns or further questions.

I haven't tried Lewis, but my concern is sending to him would result in a pointless en devour with shipping costs and the parts may be easier to sell?

The model I have is the Rz09-0168 i7 QHD touchscreen version. I'm pretty sure the mobo is toast and it won't boot in general. A light was on but not anymore. What should I do with this? The cost to repair is a bit high out of warrant as well. Anything I can salvage? Any place I should sell it for parts?

Ahh awesome to know, wasn't there some issues with the evos at some point in time where performance degraded? I cannot remember to save my life. Also I did not know that about 1tb having a larger life. That's some great information thanks a ton

Any particular reason for the power supply being 550-watt and the SSD being one terabyte? Also are the speeds really any different on the 850 compared to plea to the 840 Pro?

My goal is to create an effective compact tower that will allow me to utilize my GTX 1080 and Acer XB270HU effectively. I want to try and not spend more that around $1500. I would considering moving from two 27" monitors to an ultrawide 1440p or 4k ips monitor and bump up my budget. My current build consists of these main components outside the monitors: 3770k EVGA GTX 1080 (not TI) z77 asus saberooth samsung sm841n (essentially 840pro) 512gb corsair ddr3 @ 1600 (16gb) corsair h100 (original since around 2012) With this in mind I do want to either get an i7 8700k or something that allows me to utilize multiple cores for the times I need to do some content creation. I will likely need a new cost effective ssd with 512gb or higher. No rgb needed in the build. Suggestions below and thanks to anyone who offers some pointers or great build ideas. The case/ram/ssd are major concerns for the goals of something compact and cool.
