The months roll by slow, without relief. The price of hardware beggars belief. The weather is bleak, the thoughts are black; Ah! When will the old days come back? How have you been, dear reader? Have you needed to purchase a non-GPU, non-RAM, and non-SSD piece of hardware recently? That is good, for the prices […]
Today we’re taking a look at used vs. new GPU prices, and whether buying a used graphics card is worth your while.
There have not been that many major releases recently, so this will be a small update that mostly includes items we are not adding to our chart. And before we get to those items: All three non-added items are due to bad pricing. They are great items if they were cheaper, but we at […]

It happened slowly at first, then faster and faster, until widespread unavailability became the norm! During the worst of the worst, it was so bad that you could not buy most graphics cards, no matter […]
Things are not looking ideal for anyone planning to build a PC. The world is in a global pandemic, and supply deficiencies are mixed with high demand.
