How the mighty have fallen. From PC cases that catch fire. To scamming and debit trapping customers.

I always thought they were kinda scummy.

This for sure proves it lol.

In the early days when they were mainly making PC cases and PC cooling accessories they were pretty good. They seem to have either grown too big for their boots or been swallowed up by investment groups who then moved in and fired (or forced) key people who looked after the brand and keeping the company in check to leave.

My first proper PC build used a NZXT Guardian case and thats something I will never forget.

Antec SX830 for me, before that some Generic IBM AT compatible case. It was a breath of Freshair what Gamemax recently released, no rainbow vomit with 5.25 bays-very clean case

Demagoguery for clicks, as usual. So which companies are left now that aren't scummy? Maybe one of you can curate a list and sticky it here so that none of us inadvertently give any more of our money to the bad people.

I'm 22 minutes in the video.

If you buy things because some tik tok lady suggested it
If you rent something without reading
If you do not do the maths

In my area you can buy a refurbished notebook for 110€ which includes a valid windows license and shipping. If you need a computer buy a refurbished one.

The NVIDIA 4070 is the bait for the buyer who knows nothing about computer.
I call it a scam for 129 US Dollar rent per month and selling all your data on your harddrive when you return the computer for service or just give it back.

Oof, that's a shame really as I've used their products before and really liked the H200 when I built in it.

How about Nvidia?
Their prices & Vram amounts are totally scum scam.
In one the Hardware unboxed one the guys literally said Nvidia has monopoly, yet they seem to keen always point to Nvidia cards for RT & D.L.S.S, Frame generation as next generation features.
So many people are contradictive on their one points too. Their List of games for Ray tracing being worthwhile & game changers was not that big at all.
