Sony and Samsung in $1.9bn Flat-screen Plan

Samsung Electronics and Sony are set to invest an additional $1.9bn in a new flat-screen production line at their joint venture factory in South Korea in a bid to boost manufacturing efficiency in the face of price falls for liquid crystal display televisions.

Samsung had faced mounting speculation that it might lose its Japanese partner after Sony said last week it would take a one-third stake in Sharp's $3.5bn LCD panel plant in western Japan in a move aimed at diversifying its supply sources amid growing demand for flat-panel televisions.

These companies have just way too much money going around. Hope their next line of products are a little cheap though.

I just got the 46" W series 1080P, awesome, just awesome. Close call between the Sammy and Sony, I guess I liked the aluminium finish!

Compared to what MS did with its $1B+, this is money well spent.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
