Where Have all the Benchmarks Gone?

do dodo dodo do... Seven years ago you couldn't go five minutes on the internet without reading a benchmark shootout of the latest video cards, the latest motherboards, the best cases, the best power supplies, or the best heat sinks. Today benchmarks for video cards and motherboards are few and far between and benchmarks of other computer components are all but non existent. A quick survey of sites I have frequented since the late nineties has confirmed this situation, with the exception of anandtech most of my old and trusted hardware sites seem stagnant in the hardware review/benchmark department. How am I to get my geek on if I can't find info on how the latest 120mm fan affects my quake3 performance.
