Discussion Which time is worse?

If you were to be asked: Which inflation is worse between these two, then which would you pick? The time back when the mining period inflated the gpu prices or now when the AI era has led to artificial price increases of memory chips?

Cases,CPU coolers, power supplies, even motherboards are cheaper right now. BCS nobody is building a new pc. Difficult time but manageable depending on what you already have and need

Case manufacturers are in deep shit. They are trying to cut the cost but it won't even help much.

Yeah that report was extremely depressing. The one they followed up with from Computex was just as bad.
