Anandtech really was in a class all their own prior to Anand's departure and the Purch acquisition. Here's some other sites I like:

Tech Report is really good

JonnyGuru.com has excellent power supply teardown reviews

Silent PC Review does good articles on low-noise computing

Xbit Labs went bankrupt in November 2014, but if you need anything historical it's great, especially for comparative heatsink and fan testing (they don't change that often)

Tom's was offensively, unethically bad. Then they got bought by Purch, now they are merely not good.

Wait trying to finagle free poo poo makes you gross now? I thought we were talking some Dr. Thomas Pabst poo poo (there were some allegations from way back in the day before Tom's Hardware was sold, including him hitting on an underaged writer for the site at an in-person meet-and-greet.)
