Why does anyone make an internets clan? There is no material advantage to it. We get no money from it, no resources, nothing tangible at all. Perhaps it is a longing for identity, a sense of belonging, and shared values, the very things that have been destroyed by the scourge of liberal-capitalist individualism. Perhaps we all secretly desire to pwn peoples' faces and flame them afterwards. Perhaps a trollface.jpg lurks within all our hearts. Perhaps it is all of those things. It is possible to perceive similarities between the growth of clans and the post-war rise in football fan clubs, new age cults, and religious fundamentalism. As our leaders neglected collectivist concepts like "the nation" and encouraged capitalist individualism and atomistic self-interest, we looked to other forms of collective identity to fill the void. And that, perhaps, is what the TW community really is. A haven of camaraderie and collectivism in a self-interested, materialist and individualistic world.
Got mine from Cyberpower and had zero problems. I subsequently upgraded my RAM and they sorted that out no problem, I'd highly recommend them, the wiring inside is a model of efficiency- well pleased with mine.
Obviously, as I used them I didn't try wired2fire so I can't comment on them.
However, I'm sure I hear the stampeding of those posters who will tell you you can build your own with better components and for less, and I can't disagree, you canI guess it depends how much effort you want to spend - and not knowing how is no excuse, it's really not that tricky. If you are going to buy one, as I said, Cyberpower were really good, excellent support too.
