I'm tempted to queue for a hybrid, but my CPU rad is already mounted in the top, and it's probably a bad idea to replace my front intake fan with a GPU rad.

I'm in the same boat, except I've got a CPU air cooler that doesn't allow space for a 240MM top mount. I'm thinking of front mount rad for hybrid card as push/pull. I've got 3 intake fans so at least 1 will be unblocked still. Hopefully that'll be ok. I don't really have another choice besides buying a larger case lol. Honestly, the temps will still probably be better than having a air cooled GPU.

Do the opposite. GPU up top as exhaust, CPU on front as intake.
 
GPU puts out far more wattage/heat unless you have a Threadripper or HEDT high core count Intel CPU, having it as intake would mean your internal case temp is going to get much hotter.

For what it's worth, I've seen confirmation from someone else that they received their email for 10G-P5-3888-KR at 9:08:52 (This is NOT my notify email, but I wanted to share for tracking)
 
I am at 9:09:03 and will respond when I see mine.

I appear to have two sign up dates for a card, apparently caused whilst logged in and following links to the website via EU or US, probably because the US Queue system opened first and later the EU?
 
EU: 10G-P5-3881-KR 10/7/2020 9:30:08 AM PT
US: 10G-P5-3881-KR 9/22/2020 10:22:49 AM PT
 
I'm based in UK, looking at the US queue estimates like like 300 cards away, the EU maybe 16 if I'm reading it right, I assume if somehow the US queue triggered first I won't be able to purchase?

Purchase: Undecided.  Seeing if friends or family wants it.  Will probably let it expire otherwise and apologize for holding it for 8hours.

To be fair, we are in the midst of the worst pandemic since 1918. That has definitely had an effect on manufacturing and roll out. One could also argue that there has been an increase in demand due to the fact that everyone is sitting at home and has nothing to spend money on other than home entertainment, house projects, etc. Crypto also saw significant movement in the past few months which typically draws a significant demand from crypto miners. Nvidia is doing the best they can. If they could supply everyone immediately, they would.

The pandemic is only part of the issue, and smaller than most folks are probably willing to accept.  The core issue was, and still is, that nVidia colossally botched the launch.  They seemingly ignored significant interest from the community in Ampere as far back as Summer 2019, didn't take into account that the pandemic would increase demand (since their core purchasers would likely keep their jobs and work from home), and didn't look at 9xx/10xx series sales versus 20xx series sales numbers (20xx didn't sell very well).  The signs were there and in plain sight, but they ignored them.  That alone could have been manageable if they didn't also switch to Samsung fabs (presumably to save money), who in turn has had bad yields of chips, or if they had better prepared AIBs for the reality of stock (by discouraging so many different SKUs, and instead focusing on a single base model and single OC variant, at least at launch).
 
Blame lies entirely on nVidia, though the pandemic exacerbated things.

Nvidia isn't the only one struggling to meet demand. The latest AMD products are all out of stock. Xbox and Playstation are unavailable as well.
