Hopefully Amazon UK honors these original orders as well. They have pulled the Strix all-together from their site for now.

They will. They don't cancel orders unless it's a blatant misprice or they are left with absolutely no other option.

If I wanted to put a 1080 under water in the next few weeks, what are the choices?
EKWB block with one of the FE's, evga sc or msi gaming g1? Other? Thanks!

By your logic a complete set of SLI bridges would be a feature of the card but does everyone want to pay extra in the asking price for a 2, 3 and 4 way bridge.
That power connector is an optional extra like SLI bridges and should be sold separately so people don't have to pay for extras they won't use.
EK FC block for the FE 1080. Or just plain ref board.
All the top custom AIB cards require custom blocks. They are all in the works at EK but will take 1-2months for release. Apart from any AIB EVGA cards as EK are not making blocks for EVGA anymore.
I've just gone with two EVGA FE cards and EKFC black acetyl+Nickel blocks and backplates. Here and in tomorrow

Some people got response from EK that there is a small chance for Classified block

Yeah, I know that - I'm wondering how much I've moved. I'll wait until the end of the week and ask again

A minor question as this is my first purchase from OcUk. Will the money be charged upon dispatch? Also, free delivery applies only to the UK?

They take the money straight away, and yes only UK
The reference blower editions from ka2 and others with the plastic blower coolers should use reference PCB as well. Whether you want to go for the lower end of the price points of the 1080s or the FE ones is up to you.
Looking at the EVGA GTX 1080 Hybrid. Update said Hybrid - Early July.
If I pre order now when can I expected to get it realistically?
Will there be any availability on the site to buy or is it just a pre order only for the next few months?
I'm kinda looking at what happened to the PG348Q...it's been out for months yet still only pre order. Luckily I got mine else where in early April.

Ben@EVGA said they were doing their own blocks now. I'm not saying there won't be but at the minute there are no plans for any EVGA AIB blocks.

They take the money when it's dispatched if you use the pay through Amazon option. All the others take money straight away.

I hope Ben keeps us updated on stock? Would like a progress report every other day on stock arriving here at OCUK. 1000's of us have paid lots of money and getting little info.
Dates are still very vague?

not their own, but someone other than EK is doing them
I am just assuming the 17th at the earliest, I think the "they might come sooner" is just a carrot to stop people cancelling to switch to something else that is due to come in this week

I see many fleeing to the FE card. Not me. I'm trying to keep myself busy and not think about it. It's getting harder, but holding strong. Don't care for the Nvidia FE.
Never hold your breath for a GPU launch, it'll be a long series of delays until there's reliable stock around (at least it's always been like that).
Do you remember the 980Ti hybrid? That took several months to keep up with demand.

Dual bios and waterblock warranty, no contest really.
I would have thought manafacturers would learn from these situations and make sure that are more prepared for demand. I can never understand why these delays always seem to happen.
