  • Please consider watching the video first before reading the spoilered comments that was made as I was watching it.

    It’s pretty crazy what Thermalright’s achieved.

    Prediction as I progress through the video:

    • provided that their production remains high with sustained market saturation; Thermalright might eventually trigger the collapse and consolidation of both air and liquid CPU cooler markets in addition to potentially the computer case market.

    Good gods…
    Trying to describe just how I feel is difficult. I feel both amazed and horrified simutaneously.
    Thermalright’s about to flood the manufacturing market.

    How many factories does Thermalright own?
    This is unprecedented levels of manufacturing.

    ah they own all of the prerequisite items for the entire assembly process, alright I now understand how they can actually afford to do all of this

    Tap for spoiler Edit 3

    The other currently existing manufacturers will have to compete and maybe even consider working together as they could otherwise be pushed out of the market and be out of a job.

    • as such this currrent environment should ensure lower prices for customers. The current cooler and case ecosystem is 💯% in the customer’s favor in terms of options and prices.

    btw with Thermalright’s expansive product launch I would highly recommend waiting for product reviews before buying anything that was mentioned as currently there’s no reason to believe that stock would dry up so quickly.
















  • Article contains significant errors. MEC was never owned by its members. If it were, we would have had a say when it was sold, voting on whether to accept the offer, and receiving a share of the payout. MEC was never actually a cooperative. I think there should be consequences for this deception. I also think there need to be more consumer cooperatives than there are. Please mention any you know below.

    In September 2020 MEC was acquired by an American company after filing for creditor protection.

    They were a coop before the aquisition.


    As MEC currently operates, members each hold a co-operative share, worth about $5.00. Claus says that it is “highly unlikely” that members would get their share value back.
