    Well, at the end of the day BUY if you really need it (or NEED to upgrade). There will always be better stuff comming or price increases or decreases. Just make sure you get the best bang for your buck when buying...

    I'm so glad I've got a PC upgrade in the pipeline. Been needing one for MONTHS now!

    ive been looking into an upgrade but financials arent so good around christmas time so going to put my upgrade off to just before D3 comes out. Hopefully some of the newer parts are out although must say I think the Ivy bridges are going to kill your pocket for the first couple months they are out, might just be better to go for the sandy bridge.

    Its the same with tvs. You can never win, the minute you buy something there will be something around the corner coming out that will be even better at a better price and the value of the TV you bought just goes crashing. I've had my computer for quite a while now and am desperate need of an upgrade. The current hard drive prices are pushing up the price by a couple of K, and as a result I have to postpone my purchase. Thanks for the info though

    Got a hard drive quote today and was completely shocked - who knew some excess water could screw everything up so badly :|

    With Intel's Tick-Tock roadmap cycle I've found it always better to buy hardware on the "Tock" rather than the "Tick" as it is more refined and usually reduced in price as manufacturing becomes easier and more efficient, yes waiting will get you the next "Tick" of newer CPU's but at what cost?
