Sites that review components

[dspear]

I just compiled a list of sites that have reviews of components. Included are a few stores (like Newegg) that have user reviews. Any additions or deletions?

I have a similar list - some included, some not on yours - that are in my favorites of my browser.
The list is good - but what would really be good is compiling a rating of each site that indicated how useful/reliable the information was from each!
'Course I'm not sure how'd you'd actually get that info, other then a poll which would have obvious flaws - but it sure would be nice to have!

Delete newegg... 90% of those "reviews" are a bunch of BS.

I would delete all reviews from shopping sites. I prefer my reviews to come from someone qualified, rather than from a shopper.

Now wait just a damned minute! Are you trying to imply that the 83% of reviewers at NewEgg who rated an AMD 6400+ with 5 stars are wrong?!? No way... get out of here! Those reviews were all unbiased! AMD FTW!!! *chuckle*

I question the qualifications of some "reviewers". That said, a reviewer at least makes an effor to be fair and we can judge the reviewer by the body of his/her work.

The reviews on shopping sites are just about worthless. Once in a while I can follow a particular person's shopping reviews to determine their likes or dislikes but most of the reviews are meaningless (oH wOW HoW CooL tHiS wIDgETmASteR 3000 iS) because there is no body of work to compare a good review against a bad and the person is usually expressing an opinion based upon a single sample or a brand bias. Worse, there are Brand A sux comments on those sites that are clearly postings by Brand B employees. There are exceptions, such as somebody posting that a particular card will or will not fit into a particular case, even so the information may not be completely accurate.

Wow you had a lot of free time.

 

[imrul]

a lot of them are authentic, a lot are biased opinions, 90% is exaggerating, its more like 50-60

 

[dspear]

I'm wouldn't know how to rate the sites.

Newegg has reviews of products that have no pro opinions. It's up to you how much you rely on them.

That's 4 more. Keep em coming.
