I thought it was a good year. I just wish AMD/ATi went out with a bang. If not its back to INTEL and nVidia.

Good year. Wish I'd had the money to do some major upgrades. Here's to hoping the coming year is even better.

Love the prices!
Upgraded this year to a mid-range system for the lowest amount I've spent in a long time! Amazing year, for value at the very least.

Fantastic year for the hardware enthusiast thats for sure, lots of new products, new specs hitting the street (DDR3, X38, P35, 45nm, 55nm GPU's, SSD,etc to name a few)

I am very happy with this year

Let's see...Quad Cores, iPhone & Ipod Touch, 8800GTS/GT and some sweet ass cheap LCD monitors. This was the best year for hardware that I can remember mostly because the prices weren't so high.

The whole gamut - CPUs, mainboards, memory, video cards, displays, drives, even power supplies (!) it has been about the best year ever - even better than the year that saw the intro of the PIII/Celeron (A), and then the Athlon, I think...
