Still haven't found what you're looking for? (AT Resources Thread)

[kuk]

Have a question but haven't found any answers? Do you need buying advice? Or just want to learn more about computers? Despite AnandTech Forums being a valuable source of knowledge, there are other places on the internet where you'll find solid and trusty information. I've searched through various sites and selected those that might be useful to other members, ranging from general hardware sites to product specific forums. Feel free to post links to sites to be added to this list.

What, Tom and [H] aren't considered unbiased and informative anymore? :-D What about Tech Report?

Aphex = Apex?

OMG! You linked to FatWallet! And had to bypass the filter to do it!

Added ... there was a bug in my Excel list that kept Hard and Tech-Report out ... but I still have my gripes about Tom's inconsitencies inside articles.

Fixed

Is that forbidden? I'll remove the link then. Didn't even know that it FW was filtered. I couldn't care less, since I can't take advantage of any those hot deals.

The Tech Report is also a great resource. Daily news. Reviews...and forums.

Added ...

Funny that once it's stickified, less people read/respond to a thread.

 

[Gage8]

Want to find obscure drivers? I've found Driverguide.com to come in handy many times

Done.

No one else has links to other sites, especially product brand specific sites, since these can help answer tough and obscure questions?

 

[Lord Evermore]

Given how well the index of FAQ titles worked, I don't think you should be surprised that there aren't any people reading and responding.

[Lord Evermore]

There are Matrox users?

Good call ... I completely forgot about MURC.

Nah ... I expected this would happen. But since I knew that there were more sites than the ones in the original list, I asked for more feedback.

http://www.frostytech.com/

best heatsink review site in the history of the internet

 

[SUOrangeman]

AVSForum's HTPC and HTPC-Linux areas have to be linked in there as well.

Nice list anyway.

-SUO

As long as you have www.Sounddomain.com I'd suggest www.ecoustics.com. Has categories Home Video, Home Theater, Photography, Accessories, Home Audio, Car Audio, Portable Electronics and message boards that in my experience are great.

 

[Ganondorf27]

Has this one been mentioned yet? http://forum.tech-pc.co.uk/ If not, shame on you!

If that was the title of his thread, and you bumped it above the Intel vs AMD thread it would probly get read more.

Just a suggestion

OK, sorry for the lack of updates ... I was on vacation the last three weeks. And I didn't even think of going to an Internet Cafe to take a look at AT. It's great to back away from computers once in a while.
Now that I'm back home, I've added your contributions to the thread.

Bump, so it won't go to the archives.
