  1. In the coming months, you will see #Palit / #Gainward, #Sapphire, #Zotac, #PowerColor, #Seasonic, #GSkill and #TeamGroup, #ASRock, #Kingston, etc. selling direct to consumer (#D2C).

    Many of them will opt to outsource their store to #AliExpress, #NewEgg or #Amazon.

    #Microcenter will be the last bastion of DYI PC.

  2. Whenever anyone suggests Amazon - especially in local stores - my response is increasingly:

    ”I try not to support billionaires!”

    Anything to add to my list of alternatives?
    1) Buy locally from stores like #AceHardware, #staples
    2) Online electronics from #BHPhotoStore, #Crutchfield
    3) Directly from company websites

    Maybe more questionable:
    #Walmart - Are they better than Amazon?
    (see last post & ⬇️)
    #NewEgg - electronics
    #bestbuy - improving?

  6. @mason I feel this in my bones & work diligently to NOT use Amazon.

    Here's my alternatives:
    1) Buy locally from independent stores like #AceHardware
    2) Online electronics from #BHPhotoStore, #Crutchfield or #staples

    Maybe more questionable:
    #Walmart - are they better than Amazon? (serious question)
    #NewEgg - electronics
    #bestbuy - improving?

    Even with all this - Amazon is often the cheapest & easiest alternative for many... good luck with convincing people to not shop there.

  17. WoW I saw this & it's balls crazy🤪
    So the Corsair 96GB(2x48GB) DDR5 RAM CMH96GX5M2B7200C40
    that I bought for $369 on January 2025.
    Is now on #Newegg & #Corsair website for $1,196🤯
    #Amazon has it for $766.91 but it's shipping from Germany.
    They say the price of DDR5 RAM is rising primarily due to the massive demand for AI & data centers.
    So once again AI has made buying hardware a pain in the ass, first it was GPU's & now RAM
    Is all this AI stuff worth no one having good hardware🙄

  27. Why is it so hard to find 64GB (kit of 2) #DDR4 3600MHz CL16 #RAM >:( They're almost always either CL18, or CL16 but limited to 32GB instead (also kit of 2) - which is already what I have.

    There's one by
    #GSkill I found but only on #Newegg (which doesn't ship to Malaysia I don't think) + that has ugly RGB on it which isn't what I want at all.
