    Hexus October build guide -delay until after the 12th or not??

    It seems that Bulldozer is being released next week according to many sources.

    Anyway,its come to that time of the month to update the build guide.

    So what do you think I should do:
    1.)Update the guide now and perhaps revise it once BD is out
    2.)Wait until Bulldozer is out

    Do a guide now. Include BD if it's recommended in November as the prices might have settled a bit and there'll be more reviews/benchmarks out to help you judge suitability.

    Re: Hexus October build guide -delay until after the 12th or not??

    Wait IMO. I imagine the fundamentals of the September builds won't have changed much and if they are to change this month it will be from the 12th onwards - both in terms of prices and components.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    This. At least it'll give chance for suppliers to catch up and highlight any teething problems.
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    End of the day mate, it's up to you really.
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    You could always do a 'quick look' update to an October edition if you published it now.

    I will try to get the article up tomorrow and edit it next week when Bulldozer is released. I have been a bit busy the last few days,so I did not get a chance to put it up earlier!!
