Readers' choices?
Is it just about money?
What if those who voted were actually not wise? :)

Top of the page - you'll see a search window
Then type in what you want - or simply do this

http://www.tomshardware.com/search.php?s=readers+choice+awards#

I've six or seven scripts showing there that my browser has blocked,
so you'll have to do the final clicking.

Good luck on the mission.

Thanks! Yes, I tried searching/googling but
wasn't able to find anything recent,
which is why I ended up posting.

Did they stop the Readers' Choice Awards about 5 years ago?

That's true with all voting systems.
But, I recall that most winners of THG's RCA were pretty good.
At least, I used it as an aid. It was helpful to me.

I agree that it's still a major reference site.

Tom's Hardware changed hands in 2007 or so.

http://hubpages.com/hub/How-Toms-Hardware-Guide-pwnd-the-industry-then-lost-it

And I stopped reading the site, after this article came out.

"Strip Out The Fans, Add 8 Gallons of Cooking Oil " January 9, 2006

Thanks! That explains things. I didn't know since
I only reference the site when the need arises. :-)

Hmmm ... cooking oil?

There are fluids which might work better. Some have dielectric
strengths which are high enough, that high voltage circuitry
can still work.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorinert

Many regular oils and fats, become rancid with time.

Even this effort, was a bit smarter. They used mineral oil,
but noted the mineral oil was becoming cloudy after a year
of usage.

Uhm, I think I prefer my huge noisy personal Honeywell fan over oil. :-)
