ASUS puts a "25" in the model-name and describes it as 25''-monitor:

Odd. Because it is advertised as 24" here.
Likely coming down to different advertising laws, we have a ton of consumer protections in place that forces such transparency.



With that. I would never pay $900 AUD for a 24" 1080P monitor. Regardless if it's 240hz or not.

Steep decline in cryptocurrency market has miners dumping their GPUs on Ebay
http://www.pcgamer.com/steep-decline-in-cryptocurrency-market-has-miners-dumping-their-gpus-on-ebay/
Ethereum, one of the most popular cryptocurrencies, is becoming more difficult to mine. At the same time, volatility is rearing its welcome head, and the value of Ethereum is now less than half of what it was around a month ago. As a result, profitability is way down, and some miners are putting their GPUs up for sale on second-hand sites such as Ebay, CoinDesk reports.

Soon.avi
If the market crashes and floods the market with cheap used cards, retailers might have to adjust their prices to reflect that.

And I think AMD will focus first on APUs, and then notebooks/laptops. An APU based on a quad core Zen APU plus an 560 could be a very popular solution for gaming HTPCs.

I would be happy for non APU version to be honest. Throw a discreet Radeon 550/560 with 4GB GDDR5X and pair it up with a Hex core ryzen and call it a day. Would be a good esports laptop without breaking the bank.

One of the biggest gripes I have when it comes to ordering hardware, is sites that allow you to buy EoL stock and refuse to eject it and my bank for getting too antsy about me spending my own cash. 

My bank used to lock my card down whenever I made a purchase at a store online. Told them to remove any and all blocks and not to interfere with my spending again or I will go to a different bank.
It never happened again. Haha

I think I'll settle for the Acer Predator XB271HU 27" 2K 165Hz 1440p monitor as it's £101 cheaper than the Asus one.

Nice display. May all your games be good ones.

Also I got an email from Overclockers on the "be quiet" 3 120mm fan set. Apparently they were out of stock and end of life, yet they completely allow for you to place downa  purchase and they haven't bothered to remove the eol product from the search, so now I've got to wait till tomorrow to call them up, nag them about paying me back and then ordering a new set of fans.

Yeah some retailers are better than others.
I like stores that have reliable stock levels on items, less confuffing about.
