I decided to compile a list of all the best sites that review computer hardware. Heres my list, but feel free to post any that you like and I'll add them on. I chose not to include all the big sites like C-Net or PC review because their reviews are usually very short and simple, "Dumbed-down" for the average joe consumer or they don't have a good selection of the kind hardware we get.
-Updates-
-Added a section for pages and tools that useful in comparing hardware
-I made a google Custom Search that includes the whole list
-Separated Review Compilation sites from rest of list
-Added link to TBCS Wiki Reviews List and added TBCS Member Review page to list
-Hardware Review Search Engine (http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=004655504009658620304%3A8wibu-jrl7y)-
-TBCS Wiki Article (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/modwiki/index.php/How_to_find_reviews_for_products#Review_sites)-
