This is my definitive site for guaging new PC technology.  Might be more useful as a baseline for when someone wants to know precisely why their new $400 video card is better than the $200 alternative.  Or vice versa.

Toms are of limited use. They NEVER get to the point, and theres always a certain amount of fanboyism and performance fanaticism that makes it very difficult for someone who isnt a totaly rabid gamer to actually get an honest impression of what gives the best value. And god help anyone who wants a budget system.

est:
yeah, i tend to kinda shop around when i look at review sites.  tom's, anandtech, x-bit, behardware.  i search around try to read between the lines.

i obviously forgot to put something up over the weekend.  i'll be bored after lunch at work, so i'll probably put something up this afternoon.

Se7en:
Few things i have done that are already published online anyway:

http://www.spodesabode.com/content/article/gfxgroup Nice graphics card group test. 6 months out of date, but still mostly relevant.

http://www.spodesabode.com/content/article/tftbuyers A buying guide for TFTs.

http://www.spodesabode.com/content/article/hdriveroundup And a hard drive group test.

I have loads more stuff  (mostly group tests of a range of similar products) but they were for magazine publication, id have to find out about copyright.
