    I didn't realise what an influence BT had on me, I think I've bought about five or six products from the ones mentioned.

    I bought the Crucial MX100 in December, was trying to decide between 256GB and 512GB (got the former).
    Truth is, ever since Bit-Tech reviewed Crucial's SSD and gave it its approved seal I've been always prone to them. Also bought Creative Sound Blaster Arena headset some years ago also because of the great review.

    The first tech site I come for when wanting to upgrade. Waiting to see the new APU series and how worthy are they, I will need one if I buy a new graphics card to take advantage of the PCI-E 3.0. (A10 6800K here with an A88X chipset).

    Me too, I think that was my most recent purchase. I've been looking for a new PSU lately but they don't seem to do the buyers guide any more :(

    Hehe, I'm pretty sure my review was part of the reason that card sold out on or just after launch day :\ at least everyone agrees!

    Yep. Got my MSI GTX 970 based on the review. Best purchase of the year, for me :D

    You should send me one as you're flush and I am not.

    Or maybe to prepare you for being a father? Yeah I'll go with that - you should give it to me, so you get used to the selflessness that is going to be required of you when you're a father :D

    Very probably ! I didn't manage to get one on launch as I was still waiting for pay day, when I eventually got paid Amazon were charging £20k for one ! so I managed to pick one up from a french e-tailer for slightly less than the rrp :)
