It showed up (Replaced the cheap Amazon Special, Made in China desk fan that failed on me with one that's more than 100 years old):

Is this a race  

 

7th 3080ti incoming...

 

 

[Avacado]

I'll just pm you when I get my notifies from EVGA so you can buy them as well. Still haven't got one for a 3080 or above and you've gotten 7....

[The Pook]

don't you have to be an EVGA "Elite" member to even have a chance? 

 

probably should have looked into it before now, I've just assumed that was the case. 

[damric]

I'm an Elite member and I never get a notification despite being on all of the waiting lists.

 

But...now I figured out how to inject AMD FSR into pretty much any game so I don't think I need a GPU upgrade now

[BWG]

NerdSpeak / @TuMadreATR (aka JudixJarf) is to thank for my notification on multiple Elite Member queue times, but there's a few threads on the EVGA Forum that update when new product queues will be created for Elite Members 24 hours before going live to everyone else. It took 8 months to get the 3090 notify.

That fan is too expensive to use. Maybe you should get a cheap fan to replace it with when you need to use it.

Perhaps, but It does help tell a story about something that once was and will likely never be again.

 

For instance, see that GE plaque behind it in the image? That came out of an engine room of one of the many liberty ships built and used during WWII. Per Wikipedia, Liberty ships were a class of cargo ship built in the United States during World War II. Though British in concept, the design was adopted by the United States for its simple, low-cost construction. Mass-produced on an unprecedented scale, the Liberty ship came to symbolize U.S. wartime industrial output.

...may be there are a whole lot of Ampere GPUs on those container ships, waiting, waiting, waiting...

Started new build today to put my fx8300 a long overdue break (or a least lower powered life)

 

Just need motherboard and ram next.

New pump top for the home server.

I think I'm a bit behind, so here are a few recent purchases:

 

EVGA GeForce RTX 3080Ti FTW3 Ultra:

 

EVGA GeForce RTX 3060Ti XC:

 

EVGA GeForce RTX 3070Ti FTW3 Ultra (sold the first one, got a new one from eu.evga.com):

 

A complete system, this will all be installed in the SilverStone SUGO 14 Mini-ITX case I won with the ETF (most likely going to my nephew):

GIGABYTE B550I AORUS PRO AX (M-ITX)

AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF

G.Skill 16GB DDR4-3200 

Samsung 980 500GB SSD

SilverStone DA650-G

Now we only need to find a decent GPU...

 

Samsung 980 Pro 1TB SSD for the main system:

 

Belkin power strip for the workstation (3680w max):

 

I think this is it, or most of it

VERY nice, but needs more RTX cores

Got this for the lol's.   That Brandon guy is a popular fellow.

..."Miscellaneous" to finish up my build, including solder, flux (for the flux capacitors), industrial Velcro and Lian Li 40cm diffused RGB strips

I've never seen that viral video until a moment ago, because I've seen those memes pop up everywhere not knowing what it was I had to look it up 

[iamjanco]

Been watching US and Canadian sources/stock levels for a while now (I don't use Performance PCs because they and I parted ways) and decided to finally order what follows.
