Not getting any discord alerts today, would have expected at least 1 or 2.

I've had quite a few from the rainy one but single digit stock. It will be due to the weekend I expect it will pick up (ha ha he says) from tomorrow. God knows what the 3060ti launch this week will be like although we have a good idea.

My PSU went bang in January. Nothing else died. Decent PSUs sacrifice themsleves.

My 3080FE Arrived on Saturday. Bit of a quandary as it looks so nice the wife is bound to notice it and start asking questions, damned glass front panels. So I stuck a big R2D2 to the front of my case. Seems to have worked so far

Love that R2D2, brilliant. My wife can see through cases, glass or no glass...

Ree · 3 Dec 2020 at 12:02

is r2d2 on your bank statement too

The R2D2 I already had

. Luckily bank statement is online only these days

5 days later it's still holding up. I think I might have got away with this one

That's such a cool piece. It would make my ITX case look microscopic but I'd love one nonetheless.

Noticed some 3070FEs come online in Germany - any coming today in the UK?

Wazz-1 · 3 Dec 2020 at 14:26

Had one in the basket but by the time i figured out what it was asking... out of stock :rolleyes:

Hodders · 3 Dec 2020 at 14:30

Was that today? If so then none of my discord channels even mentioned it....

I'm just gonna forget all about them for the next 3 months.

Wazz-1 · 3 Dec 2020 at 14:31

Yeah discord alert for a German site

varkanoid · 3 Dec 2020 at 15:37

The website has turned on the captcha thats usually a sign of a drop. (I know because been refreshing my order all day and its now got captcha turned on)

willhub · 3 Dec 2020 at 15:39

3070FE drop

Jay85 · 3 Dec 2020 at 15:41

Gone too slow

Jay85 · 3 Dec 2020 at 15:41

3090 still available

Hodders · 3 Dec 2020 at 15:45

Seriously, by the time I got past the stupid flipping capatcha it was gone.

Alert at 15:39 - Onto the site at 15:40 - capatcha done - buy button gone

Yeah, I was looking out of interest and it took me four attempts to get past that damn captcha.

I just bagged a RTX 3090 FE for £1399, I just couldn't be bothered to wait for AMD any more, the prices of the 6800XT are crazy and you can't buy them, the 6900XT is going to be just as bad!!

I haven't bought myself a GFX card since Vega64 AIO in 2017 so what the hell!

It wouldn't surprise me if prices for the 6900xt reach the same price level as the 3090...

You did a good thing, just get what you need if you can afford it. The waiting game will just drive you insane, not worth the mental health for some

. Can't believe i even just said that lol.
