Supply on these three moves constantly, and pricing with it. Rather than list a part we might not be able to source next week, we commit to the specification: capacity, speed, timings, endurance class. And for graphics cards, we will always give you the chipset (e.g. RX 9060 XT) and VRAM (e.g. 16GB) that is listed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe only use parts from established manufacturers.

If it lives on the floor or on a carpet it will need opening and cleaning more often than a filtered case would. Standing it upright rather than laying it flat helps.
