Asus

Corsair (trusted for everything but blue LEDs... -.-)

 

On the H100i?

EVGA

 

No brand can beat EVGA. It's a fact. They gave me a 770 when I RMA'd a 680

SanDisk gave me a top of the line (back then) 120GB SSD and a mid-high end 64GB SSD when my low end 64GB SSD died. And that's when SSDs were ~$1/GB.

 

That's $210 worth of drives for a ~$60 drive.

ASUS

Intel 

PNY (Many will say otherwise)

Razer (also many will disagree)

 

I DO NOT trust Antec. I bought an AIO from them and it broke after 2 months.

Yeah, it's because of them that my first iteration of my build had what at the time was a pretty high end SSD.

If I were to build a new PC today, the tower would be comprised of MSI and Corsair parts.

I've always been a Logitech fan peripheral wise, however I love the Astro A50 headset.

ASUS ROG monitors.

Not gonna be picky between AMD/nVidea, I tend to hop back and forth every few generations just to see whats up.

EVGA closely followed by Corsair,

 

ASUS has won me over with their products but killed my trust with their support... 4 months and counting on my RMA.

Apple.

 

Not even talking fanboyism, I've actually never had a hardware issue with them over almost a dozen products, and I've never had a software issue I couldn't resolve on my own in 5 minutes, or over the phone in 15.

I hate all brands that I have come into contact with

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

I do like my Seagate drives.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

Pretty sure he's referring to the K70.

Silverstone.

There is a reason on my phone keyboard ft05. Shows up before I type anything

^ definitely silverstone, can't fault their build quality. The side panels on my RV05 weigh far too much than is necessary, but they are that weight because of how damn thick they are to make sure they don't flex, bend or get dents easily.

Also, I've got to give crucial credit for the quality of their SSDs and RAM. Never had any crucial memory fail on my yet, and doubt I will.

Sandisk is another one, their SD cards are incredible for their longevity. Everyone in my family has used sandisk SD cards for about 10 years+ now and never had one die.

But I'd have to give the most trusted brand for me to Apple. I've used so many of their products, and of all of them the only thing that's ever died is my dads iMac G5 when the hard drive stopped working, and even then Apple replaced it when out of warranty, charging only for the replacement drive, no extra costs. I think in my family we've had over 30 Apple devices, with only one broken HDD and two free iPod nano first gen swaps to the 6th gen because of the battery issues (surprisingly the iPods me and my dad had were not affected by it, but I won't say no to a new iPod with quadruple the storage and nike fitness built in.) so all in all, I trust Apple with making my tech stuff. Especially software, damn do I like OSX.

oh dear... Yeah, they really picked the wrong supplier for those too then. Happily I've got a red backlight on my K70.

Never had EVGA so I'll say Nokia because their phones that I have owned don't break

Asus, Evga, Logitech and Corsair sit at the top of my trust list. Of course, trust is something that changes with time, and every company (or employee, to be realistic) screws up eventually. How a company deals with its screw ups, and communicates with the customer is the real test.
