I guess I could have made a poll out of this, but I found out about it through a friend. Been hooked ever since.

I found some very small deal site, and in their links it said

"More deals than you can handle - Anandtech Forums"

Since that day I have been hooked.

I heard about Anand over at Ars.

As I recall I found Ars through a google (or yahoo) search when I was researching building my first PC...a number of years ago.

I got banned from [L]impOCP because the owner was on his period and suffering from PMS, so instead of re-registering, I decided to search for a new home.

I had just bought my first AMD Athlon based motherboard and was researching cooling options. Of all the sites I checked out this one had the most comprehensive ratings and info.

i was on cnet :eek: asking for advice on a new computer and graphics cards. Someone gave a link to the article anand did comparing all the geforce 2's and 2's for gaming. I then went into the forums and posted for advice. Got hella better advice then cnet, so i stayed here. Have been in off topic since around this summer.

I honestly can't remember, it was very very long ago. It's like there's always been an AnandTech.
