Prebuilt computers in general.

It's something unpredictable. But in the end is right. I hope you've had the time of your life.

I think the fact that the 295x2 is dual GPU and the 285 isn't just adds insult to injury. It went from generally bad to confusing

Well, you have the 285, which I from what I heard performs worse than the 280, then the 290, then 290X, and then the 295x2, which is essential 2 290 chips, i believe.

MS buying out rare and then making them spew out shitty kinect games, hopefully they won't do that to mojang

Can I get benchmarks proving the 285 is worse than the 280?

Edit: what about the 285X?

Adding a User Satisfaction popup when you just browsed there, how the F am I going to tell you if you site is worth anything if I just got there? Sure now they say we'll ask you later when you're done but who the F actually answers the poll afterwards? Nobody that's who.

 

Then the popup how can we help you, well I was reading the specs on your product before you took the screen away and annoyed me so now I am going to do the same on your popup to see how you like it. Somehow they never have an answer to how can I always prevent your popup helper screen from popping up, guess you're getting a bad satisfaction review on the previous dialog but I already closed it because its freaking annoying! If I wanted to talk to you I'd of click the button for that, so stop pestering me!

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

Can't really call that a mistake when they sell like hotcakes :S

Actually companies misleading the consumers is brilliant (from their point of view) because when you buy a garbage item and then realize that its crap, then you have to buy something else. The companies are making a fortune.

The Sapphire Vapor-X ones don't cool the VRM as well.

Do they not? I really want one because of the looks. As well as the cooling.

At least the Vapor-X on the 7950 Boost didn't.  Not too sure about current implementations.

An S5 is a phablet. 4 inch is a good phone and 7 inch is a good tablet. 5.5 is a good phablet. I wish I could have a snapdragon 801 processor in something the size of an iPhone. I'm running the Motorola G as a compromise now.

Cost cutting on critical parts...

Making completely imbalanced builds...

Laying off thousands of employees just to keep profits up...

Not selling in the Philippines...

Cable management in prebuilt PCs.

Also, more than 1 5.25" bay. Most people don't use optical drives, and even one is enough for anyone.

Oh god this! I have 6 5.25" bays and I only use 1... It's so stupid!

Cough Asus 280X

The 290 and 290X also have horrible VRAM cooling with the DCU II cooler. Pretty slack of Asus to just grab the 780 DCU II and slap it on the AMD cards  <_<.

 

And the re-brands along with the new architecture chips in the 200 series just messes me up.
