    WD 10TB My Book $79.99 @ Amazon + more

    Yup, same here guys, I got a $20 credit and order was cancelled for the 16TB. At least they didn't wait 2 months to take care of it. As much as I think they should make good on a mistake they made, I respect the fact they openly admit they made a mistake and offered at least some compensation...

    WD 10TB My Book $79.99 @ Amazon + more

    Yeah mine hasn't been canceled either.... Hopefully, they make good on it... A few months is unacceptable!

    WD 10TB My Book $79.99 @ Amazon + more

    Did anyone get shipping confirmation on the 16TB duo unit? I ordered one but they put it on back-order, guess I was a little too slow...

    GeForce FX 5800 Ultra vs Radeon 9700 Pro

    I was pretty much the same, starting with TNT. I bought a new card pretty much every time they launched one for years. TNT, TNT2, GeForce 256, GeForce2, GeForce3 skipped GeForce4 then jumped to 9700 Pro. Since the 9700Pro I stopped buying every launch and skip back and forth based on value...

    Zen2/Navi conference in August, So no Zen2 till then?

    Agreed, if these chips are even close to the rumors they are going to sell like hotcakes! I personally plan to buy 2 at launch. Hopefully we don't see the same board supply issues that plagued the original Ryzen launch.

    GeForce FX 5800 Ultra vs Radeon 9700 Pro

    The 9700 Pro was pretty much the best video card I have ever owned. At least nostalgia wise, I have extremely fond memories of that card and playing any game I wanted to play with all the settings cranked.

    Navi Rumors v2.0

    He flip-flops more than a Clinton! Didn't he say late last year, maybe early this year that initial samples showed better than expected power and performance? I also agree on the power. I will accept the noisy cooler and extra power draw but only when loaded. It needs to idle at reasonable...

    AMD: 7nm ‘Navi’ GPU & 'Rome' CPU to Launch in Q3

    I used to daily Anandtech, just went back to check this out and remembered why I stopped. How do you get a 20+ year everyday reader to stop visiting your site? Embed auto-play videos!

    An annoying downside to PC building.

    I was a notorious box saver. I stopped because the clutter was just too much. I have found that only a few companies want original packaging and most of those are odd shaped delicate items like LCD panels. Now I keep a box for 30 days and toss it. If something is going to fail it's typically in...

    That sounds like it's gonna take off!

    High-speed 4-pin PWM 120mm case fan

    120mm fans that spin more than 2000rpm are not common. I have a Nidec GentleTyphoon on my H60i that spins at 2150 max and I thought that was fast. Great fan btw, so quiet and moves so much air! I found a Scythe 120 that spins at 3K but it's not PWM. You might just have to find a way of fooling...

    Stability issues running a quad core (775/750 SLI)

    I had a C2Quad Q9400 it was solid as a rock overclocked to 3Ghz with 4 x 2GB sticks of RAM @ DDR 800 and then one of the memory channels went bad. Just out of no where, no mater what I did one of the memory channels would produce errors. I tried a different motherboard that had a fully...
