HOT! Anandtech book @ Amazon $25

[MasterRoshi]

I just read that Anandtech is publishing new book:
The AnandTech Guide to PC Gaming Hardware
$25 + s/h

Link

maybe someday we'll see Anandtech Guide to HOT deals and how to bargain!

 

[LukFilm]

:Q 2 million visitors each month and 50 million page views/month! WOW!

 

[Souka]

I have a feeling this will become a long and OT thread....hehehe


speaking of which....can anyone tell exactly what make/model/etc video card is on the cover of the book?

 

[Leejai]

I'm waiting for Anandtech's Guide to Stroking the Internet.......that would be worth $25.....this site beats any other hot deal forum hands down

 

[Tates]

Thumbs up for Anand

 

[hashbrowns]

oh big shimpi

 

[hashbrowns]

Haha I see Anand's getting in on PS2 games for $16... for shame Anand Lal Shimpi, for shame... (scroll to bottom)

 

[XFreebie]

maybe we can all get a group discount... i don't suppose he'll write a book on "hot deals" ....

i belive that's nvidia gf3 referrence card

 

[Hawk]

beats the hell out of me, I guess what larciel said, though I didn't know the reference geforce 3 had dual head.

 

[aircasper]

hashbrowns, LOL! my wife is sitting here looking at me like i'm some type of freak because i'm laughing out loud as i check these boards.

 

[hashbrowns]

hahaaaha yea aircasper..finally someone gets it

 

[hashbrowns]

XFreebie - that book has already been written

 

[gregor7777]

I tell you what I would like to see...anand's new book in ebook format. That's the way I'm used to reading his stuff, you know?

 

[TyroneWashington]

Looks like people who read his book also like to play grand theft auto 3 and run over cops with their own cars

 

[jmunjr]

This is not a hot deal. $25 for a book on computer hardware - what a joke..

Is it hardbound?

 

[huesmann]

This book will prolly be obsolete the minute it hits the shelves, anyway.

 

[IlLogiK]

its not dual head, and I don't think its the reference card -- as I don't believe those had dvi support... because thats what it the yellow connector on the far right is

 

[WageSlave]

this is NOT a hot deal... computer books become outdated before they are printed... pfff so many fanboys around here

<< computer books become outdated before they are printed... pfff so many fanboys around here >>


This is only true in our lives.....for the general public this book will still apply 3 years from now....look at the success of all the "(whatever) for Dummies" books. Remember, that only we try to buy the newest things to stay current as possible....the public keeps things for at least 18 months if not longer. Hell, I know some people that still have a 486 running Win95.

Don't we get a free autographed copy if we signed on as a year long subscriber? Well....we should, being that half the features (buddy list) and stuff aren't working......grrrrrrrrr

 

[huesmann]

Are they still playing music on vinyl discs?

 

[Zwingle]

Hey....I resemble that remark huesmann. I still have a very nice Technics turntable and several thousand albums. There is nothing like listening to some classic Stones, Zep, and Eagles with all their hiss, cracks and pops intact. Just as I remember them.

 

[whizbang]

<< the public keeps things for at least 18 months if not longer >>

Yeah. My uncle recently asked me if he should get a remanufactured PII 200 (with MMX!!!) with Windows 95 to replace his 486 with Windows 3.1. I said, "...not unless they are giving it to you."

 

[pipster]

<< Are they still playing music on vinyl discs? >>



why, yes they are... give me a pair of 1200s and a decent mixer, and i'll show you how to do it right.

/me thinks that a free forum subscription should come with the book. Then I'd buy the book, give it to my buddy as a gift, and keep the subscription

just a thought
