Corsair has managed to fumble the fumble of a previous fumble to their apologies for canceling orders, what they call pricing errors, and confusing customer service responses with mixed messaging on coupon code expiry dates and percentages. The problem here isn't purely that Corsair canceled a ton of memory orders, but that Corsair's response to it was absolute chaos and disorganization. The company just laid-off a ton of staff on the consumer side and is also reportedly investing in a new enterprise division to try and get into "AI," and we're seeing the end result of that.

![Presenting: Inevitable Opportunity to Screw Consumers | GPU Pricing Update
Sponsor: Thermal Grizzly Duronaut on Amazon - https://geni.us/tpgcPMw
The GPU pricing situation improved substantially at the end of last year (2025), but as of 2026, its trending in the wrong direction. In combination with DRAM (via VRAM) price spikes and GPU prioritization for AI data center builds and accelerators, consumer GPU prices have gone from their recovery curve to instead skyrocket. This will impact budget users who are most cost-sensitive the most, although the RTX 5090 sees the largest price increase over MSRP at now about a 100% increase on average. MSRP has ceased existing, and a major reason for a potential cancellation of GPU refreshes, such as the rumored RTX 50 Super series, could be that its not possible to launch them without bringing MSRP higher than the on-paper MSRP (technically) of existing graphics cards.

![Excellent Build Quality: Cooler Master MF500 Case Review & Modularity
Sponsor: Thermal Grizzly Duronaut on Amazon - https://geni.us/tpgcPMw
Cooler Master is back on its A-game with the MF500 series of cases. This time, we hand-picked the review sample from the factory and sealed it off the line. The Cooler Master MF500 (the MF stands for... Master Frame, continuing Cooler Masters redundant naming) case has had a variable price between $150 and $190 in the time weve worked on the review. In any situation, the build quality is overall high with good materials and panel sturdiness, although it does have its downsides and areas were critical of.
