    I wanted to go with a pi for my HTPC but I have a Plex server and all my movies are full bitrate 4k files straight from the UHD blurays and the pi couldn’t handle that bitrate. Ended up building a small ITX PC with my old PC hardware and a new Intel A380 gpu.

    I’m so thankful intel is doing their best to enter the discreet GPU market. Such banger cards for so little.

    “AI heavily increased GPU prices” Nvidia one of the greediest companys around increased the prices of GPUs, not necessarily AIs fault because nvidia is in direct control of their card prices.

    Take a look at Intel’s new GPUs, they are actually priced in a way that isn’t fist fucking the consumer.

    I still order from them although it’s definitely gotten worse and the website feels like It was designed exclusively by the marketing team and high-up executives instead of web engineers.

    Honestly, I typically gravitate towards Amazon over Newegg these days, but Newegg does have a lot more options for computer hardware, so I still order from them. I just ordered an ITX motherboard and SFX power supply from newegg yesterday actually because amazom didn’t have the products I wanted.

    Preach! I just finished a long DIY remodel and running ethernet to everyroom was less than a $100 in cable and connectors. Obviously it was easier and cheaper for me because I already had a lot of the drywall down.

    Either way such a good point you make, people will drop 1k on a phone no questions asked but a few hundred is too much to get the best home upgrade a tech enthusiast could ever ask for.
