In Part 2, we regroup with many of the same people, but also add even more companies than last time to talk about strategy, supply chain meltdowns, logistics, cost, consumer price increases, and uncertainty. This includes Hyte, Cooler Master, be quiet!, Lian Li, Arctic, Thermaltake, and the warehouse that GN uses. Tariffs have had nonstop updates, so we asked the companies about the changes, including various court rulings, exemptions, pauses, appeals, unpauses, and more.
