Oh great, now copper prices are 'surging' and threatening to make PC hardware even more expensive

PC hardware YouTube channel der8auer has posted a video covering "surging" copper prices and explaining the potential impact on PC hardware. And it's not good, peeps.

Roman Hartung who fronts the der8auer channel is also CEO of PC cooling specialist Thermal Grizzly. In that capacity, he's directly involved in buying 12 mm thick copper plates which are used via CNC manufacturing to produce items such as water cooling blocks for graphics cards.

Hartung says he attempted to make a routine order for the plates back in October.
