On the flip side. If it were found to be true that prebuilt systems were jumping the line for gpu only customers, I imagine it would be quite detrimental to the companies image and threaten the loyalty of customers that have spent several thousand on more than one occasion.So you think companies are fully transparent? Having worked in the IT industry for 25 years at manufacturers, distributors and resellers, let me tell you, I don't need to be wearing a tin foil hat to tell you that you are incredibly naive. As someone in this queue I don't expect transparency. I would think that OC would be foolish not to prioritise their prebuild business, it would be lunacy not to. And the thought of listing everything that they get in is in fact laughable.
Can you imagine a world where the staff assembling the prebuilds are now sitting around,reading the papers because there is a queue. Your naivety must be really attractive to the ladies! Are you blond too?
Having never purchased a prebuilt system myself and not doing so currently I could not say if those customers are also in a list as long as the one I'm in. Only 1197 customer in front of me.
Nvidia have already stated supply issue globally so what's a retailer to do ?
