still down 🙁

What are some alternative aggregators for hardware part pricing?

 

[yacoub]

is the RTPE ever going to be fixed?

 

[Ryan Smith]

I left a note with Kris about it. I'll try to see who can fix it.

 

[yacoub]

ok thanks. it's kinda weird they just leave it broken for days on end... still down, btw.

 

[yacoub]

Well at this point they might as well just remove the link from the sitenav. Still broken and I guess they don't care.

 

[Not my fault]

It's being escalated to the persons who handles these servers. We should have something soon..

 

[yacoub]

hey thanks. great username btw 🙂

 

[brjames]

Hmm, two weeks and its still down... that's pretty bad. Is it going to be up for Black Friday?

 

[etriky]

Appears to be back up!! YEAH!!!! 🙂

 

[SidViciousSG]

Good to see this invaluable tool back up !

Unfortunately, I can't seem to find entries for the 8800GT, 3850 & 3870, hope those will be included sooner than later as I am looking foward to tracking pricing trends in the light of recent rumors about availability and shippements.

RTPE has been down again for a long time, i just now found this thread as i could never find a way to report site problems. Sorry for not reporting sooner, I just assumed it was abandoned its been broken so long. All results show 0 results and right console shows Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /var/www/vweb/rtpeserve/php/sidebars.php on line 228

Could someone reply just to let me know if maybe I am the only one having trouble with the RTPE, its been down a really long time so it seems everyone else would be freaking too...

Your concerns have been passed to the main site guys. The moderators don't really have anything to do with AnandTech.com. Hopefully someone from there will respond. Good luck!

passed up the chain ...

Thanks so much! I know of no other price engine that lets you sort by $/GB !

 

[imported_picklebill]

April 08 and it's still broke. Looks as though it's been left to rot.

May 08 and it's still broke. Looks as though it's been left to rot.

>sniff sniff< I loved searching by price per GB like no other price engine I have found. Sad to see RTPE go 🙁

 

[JJChicken]

🙁

Does anyone remember back in the day when the RTPE worked? <<smiles nostalgically>> It used to sort drives by $/GB and show these cool graphs. Man those were the days. Good times.

 

[JJChicken]

It's back!

Not for me. Still getting this:

It's a shame. It was a useful tool for me on several occasions. Can AT at least take the link down, until it's fixed? It is on the main page, after all, and if/when it's working again, you could always put it back up with fanfare.

 

[severtki]

Never coming back, is it?
I rather wish they would remove the links so it doesn't just sit there taunting us...
