That's the thought that runs through my mind whenever I visit the market section of the forum. Roughly 10 years ago, I bought PC parts which are running even now without any noticeable wear. On the other hand, seen many threads for various items on sale, mostly GPU, HDD, some PSU and MoBo, which have had history of "RMA". This give me the perception that PC hardware these days isn't as reliable as it used to be. Could be "Planned Obsolescence" or " Poorer Quality Control" or maybe neither. So I want to discuss if this is just my skewed idea or is their some truth to it. If it is, then why so?
