Holy crap is that too much packaging and I'm not even talking about the over-the-top foam boxes for the chips, I'm talking about the giant suitcase that houses the boxes that house the chips.

Don't worry, JayzTwoCents and LinusTechTips will be getting them.
...oh. OH!

I'm not even saying that's a bad thing, but it certainly is going to color how an outside company is going to view the marketing value of this site.

(But then, my NAS is currently a 1090T, and I think that's overkill, so what do I know... )

In that case, Jeff should buck the trend and post that shiny 7920x review on Threadripper's NDA lift date.
