Hmmm, did I ever say that it's "beneath me"? Nope, I didn't. I never said the cases were inferior either. Simply not what I want.

Perhaps you should brush up on your reading comprehension.

Might want to tone down on the salt too, it's bad for your health ;)

Haha, pretty basic. Size. Having a huge tower on the desk bothers me, and I don't have room for it on the floor.

Fair enough. I'm quite the opposite -I used to have my PC off to my left on my desk, but now I have to put it on the floor (at least for the moment) because I moved the office and don't have room on the desk. Now I'm uncomfortable because there's just more desk there. I feel like it's too open.

Aye. I've had bigger cases for every computer I've had so far, and the next build is going super small; you can fit 2 cases within a sheet of paper. Something a little different. Haha, I'm totally the opposite, I love the openness. I'd feel claustrophobic with a big case on my desk and I love small spaces. Plus I've always used my desktop as a footrest. Worked like a charm in the winter when I had a GTX 480...also worked as a wicked foot warmer.

Just man up and admit vega is too expensive rather than making bs claims like "new gpu king under $500"

Jay's being a drama queen at this point. 

I honestly don't think that he's completely over his Dad's recent passing, and that tends to cloud rational thoughts.

Seems like an appropriate response to AMD being shitheads about pricing for Vega, but I wouldn't go as far as to outright not recommending Radeon. If the performance or price is right, it's still an option that should be considered.

Even if Vega was better than any Geforce, I still wouldn't have recommended it after this pricing circus because I don't want these shitheads to get money from anyone.

I'll stick to thinking with my wallet.

If Vega suits my needs and fits into my budget, I'll get that. If it doesn't, I'll look at something else.

 

My wallet has no allegiance as long as my I get whatever is best bang for my hard earned buck.

(that's not saying I'll be replacing my RX480 anytime soon. More than enough for what I need)

This price hike will likely result in me not getting a vega 56. If they get their heads on straight and bring the price back down, then it's back into consideration.

 

All tech companies do stupid stuff. I'll never blacklist one, because the only one that hurts is me in the long run.

Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example.

Depends on how fat your wallet is and how much you're willing to trim it.

Yeah... I'm a pretty big Google fanboi (currently getting ready for the Android O livestream) but even I'm left shaking my head over that. I think Brian Lunduke's video on the topic summarizes my thoughts pretty well... 

 

Every tech company seems to be completely loosing their head recently...

Well, PS4 and Xbox have AMD hardware, Nintendo has Nvidia.

 

Unless you were talking about getting an SNES, which I would approve of.
