Ouch. I am literally 92 seconds away of getting the 3070 FTW3 Ultra. A strong chance that it will drop next week.

I mean last week moved about 10 minutes, but since the list will only get slower as more people signed up on the morning of the 29th idk

No matter how I arrange the 8-pins on the GPU, one of them always sits all wonky compared to the rest, cord run-wise.

Holy CHRIST, you think that tower's big enough? Planning to stow Mercury away in that pocket dimension or something?

TBF it is the size of a small/medium sized person (691 x 344 x 645 mm (27.2 x 13.5 x 25.4 inch)), you can fit a person inside of it, it weighs over 70lbs with the glass on, and it cost an arm and a leg.
It will be my case for many, many, many moons, just like my last one lived through a few systems.
I was considering going with something less lorge (or less expensive) but when I thought about it for a while and I really looked at it, my brain went "what other case can literally fit everything you'd possibly want to put in it" that isn't a CaseLabs or similar plexi-box style case.
Mine actually arrived with the front glass sheered off it's connection screws... normally I would've raged at Newegg & returned it, but I was legitimately planning to remove the front glass immediately anyway as it would've obstructed airflow too much.  The front glass is actually the inserted piece you see on the right half of the image, it's keeping the intake air from cheating it's way out of the bottom crack of the case until after it gets to the GPU/CPU areas (I noticed this was a thing by feeling the air coming out of the area).  So it still has a purpose.
One thing's for sure, next time I pay that much for a case that heavy, I'm going to buy it from a store, have it shipped to said store, and insist we open it up before I leave the store to make sure it wasn't damaged in shipping.
Imagine having to return a case that weighs 70lbs and having to pay for it up front. lol
 
Overall, once I got a proper amounted of fans in it (it comes with 4, which is a good starting setup) for everything going on in there, I was very & still am very happy with it.
 
Haven't slept yet, too hyped, I kept busy for a bit, played some Avengers, and now I'm debating if I should eat & stay up til morning, or finally try to rest.

Thanks to you all in this thread, so close to victory will be using Enewt's code when the time is nigh...
Been here since 2007, never posted much but happy to join a much needed thread.

Walked into my local Microcenter to grab some tubing and these were just sitting there, ripe for the picking.

Looks like my watch has ended. 
 
Thanks for all the info, especially enewt and Jacob.

Am I the only one that missed the whole train of "Precision X1 1.1.2.0 is live"?
 
Only lists this for updates, but I'm still gonna update:
 
"
Release: 11/26/2020

• Adds support for EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 K|NGP|N
• Various Bug Fixes"

 
Edit: or not, apparently this version has some "issues" that I don't want to chance encountering... you know the old addage, if it ain't broke, don't fix it - this applies in life, and to drivers & software updates. lol

It's actually a Tardis, disguised on the outside as a PC case.

Melatonin.  From a former 20 year major insomniac, trust me on this one.  I know when I have [ had:( ] work in the morning and my brain is hot wired at 11pm and I'm into that latest game, Melatonin will slowly and surely lullaby me away from the PC and into bed. Resistance is futile.

Yeah dager the feeling is amazing when someone use's a code. It really helps out so much. I know i will get the card before im even able to use the evgabucks but they do have alot of products. all the power supplys are sold out, i was looking at it. i currently have a 750w gold. but idk if i should go higher.

I don't even watch Doctor Who & that made me laugh.

Tried that before.
 
My problem right now is, I'm out of work, so I never "put out enough" energy during the day to get tired, so eventually I just get bored & go to bed.  On days like today, I'm all excited, happy, don't get tired or bored as easily, so I end up staying up 30-36 hours, then I finally crash out, typically sleep about 10-12 after that.
My job I was on my feet between 9 and up to 12 hours a day, and it was pretty high stress most of the time, so by the time I got home, I could wind down, game for a bit, then go to bed.
I'm gonna throw myself back in to a pretty rough exercise regiment now that some issues I was having are taken care of finally, start this coming week, should be interesting.  Been ramping myself up a bit in the last few weeks making sure I don't push too hard too fast lol
 
The fact that I liquidated unnecessary assets & promptly put them in to a 3090 is a true "epic gamer" moment - but I do plan on returning to the workforce, as soon as the Rona is not ravaging the world as badly as it is right now.

What card are you planning on getting again?  My brain is frazzled because it's in Cyberpunk-land & I've been up for 26 hours lol

No, I'm not able to. Especially when they're dual fans.
I was planning to get started on my new rig around February. In the meant time, I'll be looking at an AMD CPU.
 
...I'm so looking forward to ditch this 10yo rig I have >.>
It has an EVGA GTX 680 in it. lel

Man, you're in for such a huge enjoyable amount of upgrade if you're going the 5xxx-series AMD CPU & a quality 3000-series NVidia GPU.  I remember when I went from a R9 295x2 to the Titan Xp SLi (only had it briefly) - It was insane to me how huge the jump was.  Imagine going from a 680 to a 30-series will be several times that in terms of performance jump.
Just going from my 1080 Ti to this 3080 was pretty impressive in the titles I tested before the 3080 came in vs after.

3080ftw3 ultra or 3080 xc3 hybrid which ever i get noty for. @badger

Ah you plan to jump in to the 3080 FTW3 Hybrid queue when it opens back up.  If I were you I'd wait & definitely jump on that one if you are okay with waiting.  The XOC BIOS gives a decent bit of headroom on the FTW3 Ultra, and said headroom allows for more spicy undervolting as well.  Nothing like a barely-cooler-than-stock-but-faster-boost-clocks-and-no-power-limit-issues undervolt in the 2055-2070MHz @ 994mV range. lol

I didn’t think it was going to get far. I am glad you jumped in early but sorry you had the headache you did to thread the needle. Very happy that it all worked out for you!

 
I'm guessing all of Friday's queue folks that got their call up were from people not purchasing in the window on Thursday. Hopefully a decent sized chunk of 3080s & 3090s of the Hybrid variety will be suited up in their respective Moistening Suits for shipping out this coming week so more people can at least enjoy their GPUs right after Christmas.
