Capitalism basically, it's worth what you're willing to pay for it, if you're not willing to pay for it you don't. I wouldn't call it shady business so long as you actually get what they're selling, it's just not my business. Plus just imagine the kind of calls these guys get for customer service, when the end user installs some buggy software or virus that impairs or bricks their computer and blames it on THEM. Because you know that happens.

Swoley Cow.

Apparently their first custom pre-built system launched in 2012, which about lines up with when I first started hearing/seeing them around. Before that they were a parts retailer if le internets research doesn't fail me.

Huh, I have my old 5960x lying around somewhere, not sure where I left it.

I don't who buys them, but it's really not worth it in so far as I'm concerned. But clearly there's a market cause they've been around since 2002.

None really. There's no accounting for taste, but you can always turn it off, often in specific segments. So, whatever you want.

Corsair doesn't manufacture PSU's either (Or anything, for that matter.), they contract with companies like Seasonic Flextronics & CWT. And this goes for most electronics companies regardless of market segment, there's very few companies involved in the actual manufacturing VS branding.

Me likey, me wanty!

It's a cool little device that's for sure.

Great, Scott...

Largely false, there is no respectable study I'm aware of showing any psychological instinct in the male brain to tear women down, in fact what has been studied shows the opposite really. Secondly it has been shown time and time again that control is a universal (or at least near perfect 50/50 ratio between sexes) human pursuit. Edit: Also I don't know where you live, but where I live there aren't any legal rights or protections afforded to men that are withheld from women, women have a few men don't though including but not limited to a well documented favoritism in court.

Well then...

Okay!!....

I suppose that depends on how much he downloads/installs, I've never had a full one TB drive, but I can burn through 500GB in no time.
