After getting home all excited to get my new computer all set up, I powered it up and loved all the colors in the case. As I went through the startup process I installed windows 11 as a free upgrade.

How many amps or watts does it need? Can it print from .stl files? Does it need thermistors or thermocouples? Is it compatible with my…

Fantastic Coolers for AMD X3D Processors!
Last week saw the release of AMD's excellent new line of X3D processors - specifically the 7900X3D and 7950X3D. With 3D V-Cache adding a ton of extra space to the L3 cache, these chips are absolute monsters for gaming.

Need more network equipment options
I would like to see more variety in your network equipment. You guys offer hundreds of 1Gb switches and NICs that are the exact same. You also sell a lot of motherboards with 2.5Gb ports, sometimes even 10Gb, but offer very little to actually support multigig connections. I want to see some higher end offerings, but not…
