Which Review Interest You Most?

GlitterKill · 16-February-03, 06:40 PM

What types of reviews do you like to read the most?

BigAkita · 16-February-03, 07:50 PM

There should be an "All of the above" selection. I read reviews online starting at 0430 and go to sleep at night reading magazine reviews. Hardware! Aarrh, Aarh, Aarh!

If I needed to pick one though, it would be the mobo. That is the backbone of any system, way more important than the CPU, memory, or cards that plug into it.

I agree with ba. I read them all.

i perfer other reviews i recently read a great one on this lil company that makes brandy said that they make a great brandy but i cant remember what the name of the company was or where i read the review so ill just have to keep buying bottles of brandy till i find the right one

I am a storage junkie so I love reading articles about it heh. I do read articles on just about everything else except for modding supplies though, I'm not real keen on mass marketted modding gear. i prefer to make my own or adapt existing things into cool mods.

But computer hardware, if its faster, or better, i wanna read about it, guess thats why i like storage so much, seeing as how its the most overlooked upgrade and the slowest component in your pc, it DEMANDS to be tweaked to the MAX!

IronSerif · 17-February-03, 05:28 PM

I personally am into consumer/mobile electronics. But of course that's not the format of this site

So other than that, I'm with abyssling, definately a storage junkie. Mostly external & portable

GlitterKill · 18-February-03, 03:51 PM

OK, there is now an all of the above choice.

FunkyFresh · 18-February-03, 04:12 PM

While I do read everything, I'd come here looking for the best & fastest (as abyss mentions), and modding stuff.

I'd love to see more shootouts, too. Like what's the best rheobus out there? It used to be that the PCMods was the only one, but there are those Vantecs, Thermaltakes, VR 3.5", and Sunbeams.

FeRaL · 20-February-03, 05:19 AM

Hrmmm Brandy would be good, but I prefer Bourbon... otherwise I would have to say Mobo's since most everything on the computer depends on the mobo...

FeRaL · 21-February-03, 05:29 AM

I also thin PSu are waaaay under appreciated. They are after all what make your WHOLE system run...

You can change mine to all of the above, ALL reviews intrest me

SpongeBob · 21-March-03, 12:53 AM

I said all of the above, but it really depends what I'm shopping for at the time.

drwho · 03-April-03, 09:26 PM

all kinds of reviews... what ever might be on my shopping list at that time!?

psychofunk · 11-April-03, 02:33 AM

Water cooling, there are not enough water cooling reviews. Not just buy this setup and how does it work, I mean test and compare addatives and radiators and heatercores and pumps and custom stuff and store bought stuff and....you get the point I'm sure

BigAkita · 11-April-03, 10:04 PM

Psycho, if you do a search on some of the watercooling threads that lcpiper and Putwig have moderated, you will find everything and more than you ever wanted to know about watercooling.

But the comparison angle would be valuable.

Spc. Forces Bob · 22-April-03, 11:20 AM

reviews on everyting i alwasy need the best of everyting haha

psychofunk · 23-April-03, 01:59 AM

Thanks BA, I'll so a search, you are talking about here in these forums right, please don't send me to procooling (there are some really cool guys but there are also too many know it alls turning simple subjects into rocket science) or overclockers.com (BillA is a **** to people and looks down his nose at everyone so I am not interested in his opinions).

I got another article idea. I was looking for a 120mm fan shootout on google today and nada! I think this would appeal to people chillin wit da wawa like myself, but the fan noise and performance at low noise levels is extremely important.
