What did you end up going with?

Some Thermaltake units that I spent the better part of a day cleaning and an XSPC TX360 Ultra Thin up top because it was one of the few that would fit in my desired "envelope".  They are probably all "okay" on the bang for buck meter, but nothing to get excited about.  All of my noobish purchasing decisions are detailed here: (1) My middle-aged overclocking adventure | Overclock.net

I used a lot of XSPC EX radiators back in the day (still running a couple in current rig). They maybe weren't the best, but I was usually pretty satisfied with them for my usage. They cleaned up pretty well too.

I'll be returning my previous purchase of water cooling parts to Amazon.  I just place an order from ModMyMods and Performance-PCs for different parts.  Hopefully I did better this time!

Much better choices. Great choice on the Ulitube though you could of gone without at least 1 inline temp sensor as the D5 Next includes one.

Now that's a great part list.

This arrived today. A little perplexed how it was bottled a month from last week (2/18/22), but otherwise can't wait. Am wondering if I should have grabbed another bottle. Oh well, will cross that path when I get to it.

I think the scalpers are snagging all of the EVGA 2x 6+2 pci-e cables too. $6 on EVGA and $15 on newegg/ebay lol. I subbed, got a notify, gone, subbed, got a notify, tried to buy 6, failed, bought the last 4 for the 1600w P2 since it came with 6+2 and 6 dual pci-e cables.

Another notify came in...

The retail price if you don't mind my asking?

MSRP of $329.99 (+ tax and shipping) is what I paid.  I just realized I forgot to put in an associate code for a 3% discount

@firedfly  Out of curiosity, was the "Black Gaming" available?  I ask because numerous TechTubers were supplied with the $249 version of the card running the $330 VBIOS...

I signed up for an EVGA notify list earlier this week (yesterday?).  I only signed up for the more expensive card and received the notification for being able to purchase today.

[ArchStanton]

@firedfly Roger, if you had by chance signed up for both I thought the previous might be of benefit to you.

[Bastiaan_NL]

[Minotaurtoo]

well... for better or worse I just paid for a 6900 xt... I found a new reference edition for only 40% over MSRP and my 2:30AM tired butt bid on it... no one else did... not sure if I messed up or not, but I really shouldn't be on ebay that early in the morning... At least I can still sell my 5700 XT for way over what I paid for it lol... will make up some of the cost... FYI, it was paid for with tax return money, turns out I filed my dependents wrong with my employer and too much money was being taken out... fixed that now

Nice! I had some really big payroll issues last year with my employer regarding insurance stuff. Still not sure they entirely fixed the tax aspect of the error so still waiting on my W-2 to see.

...yeah, the only time I ever had a complaint from the neighbors was with one of those

I probably should've bought it a few years back, but the cccp beers virus pandemic and ensuing circus sideshow work created an unnecessary albeit fairly enjoyable delay; anyway, was really after the label maker and labels (for cabling/wiring id on the Manhattan Project/Muffler Bearings Control Panel, etc.):

I should order me one of those label makers too, it's a bit chaotic under my desk

 

and thanks to @Avacado I'm now the proud (and bankrupt) owner of the above
