A friend of mine told me about a couple of deals he'd gotten and pointed me to the hot deals forum.

I was looking for a product review...it may have been the legendary 1700+ DLT3C

 

[DaTT]

Google back when I needed hardware help.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Looking for reviews of an AMD processor way back when. I believe it was when AMD was the first CPU to break the 1ghz barrier.

 

[Buttzilla]

A friend, for the help building my first computer.

 

[WoodButcher]

Ya know, I just don't remember..

 

[dennilfloss]

Read a couple of books on how to buy a computer in 1998-99, when I was putting together my first build, and AnandTech was praised in one of them.

 

[darkxshade]

cold deals!!!

 

[Northern Lawn]

Someone mentioned it at Sharkys Extreme forum. I didn't like anandtec at first because it seemed so busy, literally 50:1 busier than sharkys at the time... and sharkys has even gone down hill further since, lol. RIP.

 

[shortylickens]

Was just searching around for hardware reviews. This guy seemed to have his shit together.
I read for a couple years before finding the forums, then lurked for 2 more before joining. I signed up to help somebody with a TOSlink/miniplug problem. He expressed gratitude. I stayed on.

Back in the day, was looking for a 233 Mhz. Pentium to upgrade my Daughters computer.
I used "MSN Advanced Search" for "Computer parts for sale" (or was it "Used computer parts?), anyway, got a link to AT FS/FT, created an account & started wheeling & dealing.
It was around '05-'06 before I wondered into OT. Stuck around for the LULZ!
