My question to a1uc is: When will you be selling that HTPC? ;D Most of my computer stuff goes to my store , but since I'm selling the building who knows. If I don't find another place to buy I might have to sell more of it online ;D |

Nice looking board but is it really worth the $80 difference over the ASUS P8Z77-V?

Nice looking board but is it really worth the $80 difference over the ASUS P8Z77-V? it is to me , because I like the look of it , if you don't care about the looks you can pick a few different boards for less |

Most of my computer stuff goes to my store What kind of store do you run? about 18 yrs ago I quit my job and bought my first home , I sold apple laptops and toughbooks online for 5 yrs . I then opened a computer shop and sold new and used computers for 7 yrs till the landlord sold the building without asking me if I wanted to purchase it ,so I was in a jam and one of my customers had a building for sale so I bought it . I was going to do a complete remodel of the store but the city gave me a hard time a very hard time so I could only do so much paint drop ceiling etc , so I hated the new shop for the last 6 yrs and couldn't stand the site of it and it made me depressed to go to the shop . So I ended up locking the doors to the public I'm really " burnt out " and cant stand dealing with the public so now I decided to sell the building and my first home also . I'm going to go back to selling toughbooks and parts , I purchase them by the skid load and refurbish them 6 yrs ago I purchased a 1/2 of semi load of apple laptops and did real good but those deals just don't pop up everyday . Oh I was going to open a pawn shop but the city had to many I got turned down ;D |

That's very interesting. I didn't realize there was that much of a market for refurbished laptops.

Panasonic Toughbooks As to other laptops not that much anymore for as cheap as people can buy them for , allot of people look at price and want the cheapest laptop they can buy and for the avg person they are more than enough. Times are different now . When I had my shop I would sell about 200 new dell systems a month, then at the end of the year I would sell all my leftover new LCD'S etc on eBay just like 1000's of people do . Well my luck Dell purchased a couple of them under a bs name and I got a letter in the mail you are black listed . I was done I couldn't even buy ink for my laser printers from dell.Then Sams club and Walmart went up 4 blocks from me and that did me and that didn't help anyways. |

Yes, well that's how they protect their business and part of how they protect their IP. Part of my job is rooting out and shutting down grey-market resellers who knock-off or resell our products. It's almost a full-time job. Stay legit and things are much easier. |
