I'm of the opinion that the "Power Supply" section should include ONLY manufacturers--literally, those who initially build the units. I.e., FSP, Seven Team, Deerfield, etc. The actual distributors/branders of the PSUs are a separate issue.

The logical counter-argument to this is that we don't normally go by the manufacturer's name--however, in this industry only the ORIGINAL component mfg. is important--the brand name of itself is typically of no quality assurance, it's what's "under the hood" that counts.

I have heard that some brands have the same stuff inside as other, but it is hard to know which only rebrands and which actually manufacturers the whole thing. I guess we could have a subheading for the Power supply section which list the manufacturers... -- Frap 00:17, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
i agree, who actually makes the PSU is what really counts, and many consumers (granted mostly computer enthusiasts, myself included), as well as industry professionals, also base their purchases on the original manufacturers.

i must also disagree with the way graphics cards are presented. in all fairness, i think there has to be two categories; 1 PCB makers, that integrate the core with PCB's, RAM, VRM's, and so fourth, and 2 the actual manufacturers of the graphics core. even tho some (like ATI) would qualify for both.

same here, it should be "Video Cards" and "Video Chipsets" or something like that. -- Bboyskidz 05:35, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

What about adding a list of computer manufacturers? or should that be its own page? there is a list of competitors on the Acer page that could be added here.
Also, to stop this page from being so lonely, why not add this page as a link on all of the companies listed here? (i.e. in their "see also" sections) -- Bboyskidz 05:34, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Missing motherboard manufacturer

Looks like Albatron was left out of the motherboard manufacturer list.

Their website is http://www.albatron.com.tw

[edit] Keyscan

A Canadian maker of Access control systems. Not sure if it fits into any of these categories, but though I should bring to your attention as it is not the same company as the KeyScan you have listed (but it does now bluelink your redlink). Exit2DOS2000TC 07:40, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] possible new display manyfacturer?

AUO I run over it after opening a asus eee pc . What do you think? --Chomwitt (talk) 17:24, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

AFAIK, they don't make any end-user products. They just manufacture the panels which are used by other manufacturers in their products. -- Frap (talk) 18:19, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
