    Dell Unveils Pair of Alienware Area-51 Laptops

    I WANT TO BELIEVE. Imagine being this boring, and then complaining about the price as well, as if a mature businessman wouldn't be able to afford it, especially when there are and always have been many other "mature businessman" options for decades, with the same or better specs for similar...

    ASUS Announces ExpertCenter P500 Mini Tower

    I honestly would not mind this whole setup. I agree it kinda has a retro feel and with all the accessories being white, kinda has a good vibe. If it was silver-ish, it would feel Y2K-ish.

    SilverStone ALTA D1

    Silverstone went beast mode with their workstation case offerings, even pure rackmount ones. On a personal level, this is almost too much for me, hah. I'm a fan of these 4 offerings though and would go for them:

    ARCTIC Expanding its Range of Efficient Server Fans

    reminded me of something... But yes, as alluded to, that's what it is for:

    Creative Launches the Sound Blaster GS5 Gaming Sound Bar

    I bought the Sound Blaster GS3 back at the end of March and it has been so worth the money. Waaaaay better than I thought. I was going to spend way more and wanted to have a much more robust system as I was upgrading so I could do some hobby music production and further my video editing. I...

    AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D To Feature Significant Clock Speed Boost

    Gah, I really want to go for it since I'm still on X99 and most of the Threadripper & Xeon W HEDT lines released recently and in the last 2-3-4 years seem 3x more expensive in comparison, even used ones on eBay, to previous HEDT (CPU & mobos) but I just really really dislike the AM5 motherboards...

    DDR5 Memory Performance Scaling with AMD Zen 5

    I think your right HTC, that seems logical to me. That's great, looking forward to it W1zzard. I guess I meant to say "meaningful difference". So curious, if it's true, how the two caches on each CCD handle the RAM you tested.

    DDR5 Memory Performance Scaling with AMD Zen 5

    Just wanted to say thank you for the time and effort on doing all the comparisons. This is why I love dedicated hardware enthusiast websites. I wonder if the 9950X3D and 9900X3D with an X870E board make any significant difference in the comparisons. I think might finally upgrade from my X99...

    The B650E Aorus Stealth Ice is Gigabyte's First Motherboard for AMD CPUs with its Connectors on the Back

    What's even the point of making this ATX? There's so many boards pretty much going this same layout route too. ATX seems to be seriously dead consumer wise. Everything coming out are just glorified abominations of mATX with brain rot prices to match especially when compared to the high-end...

    Project 2004, a retro time capsule

    It's wild how I still go back and play the same games I did 20 years ago, lol. Like, I still open up OFP/OFPR, bought it day of release, and play with the AI and never played any of the ARMA's. Awesome nostalgia for sure.

    Zephyr Unveils ITX-sized Sakura Blizzard RTX 4070 Graphics Card

    Finally, been waiting for something like this since I loved the R9 Nano. But like most of the interesting cards we see press releases of on TPU, like even all the blower designs we see, it'll be impossible to actually get at least in the U.S..

    ASRock Z890 Motherboard Lineup at Computex 2024: Taichi, OC Formula, and Lots More

    Guess I'm oldschool but I don't even see the point of why some of these are even ATX in the first place or the fact that the consumer, non HEDT CPU's have become so much better, with more lanes, and the ability to distribute the lanes more efficiently (less lanes for the same throughput +...

    Silverstone Bets Big on Workstation and Server Cases for AI Development and Acceleration

    HECK YEAH!!!! I love what Silverstone has been putting out, especially their recent 4U and 5U chassis. These are insane looking! That first one shown is especially appealing to me. I hope the Homelab community pays more attention to them. I know they're a bit pricey especially when compared to...

    Silverstone Also Shows Off Interesting New Storage Enclosures and DAS Products at Computex 2024

    I love all the accessories and random stuff Silverstone stuff. I check out their site all the time. Currently using a few different stuff like their SDP12 and SDP11 M.2 boards, and a couple of their expansion cards and the PC starter ones. I hope Silverstone is reading, but I hope those ECM30...

    GALAX Intros Classic Series Graphics Cards Based on RTX 4070 SUPER and RTX 4070 Ti SUPER

    I'd be down for getting one or two but every time I see a GPU like this, I can never really find it. Like the single slot blower variant mentioned a few months back for the RTX 4000 series.
