Added a Cosmic mat to my setup the tiles I have are kind of beating on my desk chair wheels. So Asus had something reasonably priced that looked nice, goes with my setup so said why not. Also have a Samsung 980 Pro and 990 Pro 2tb to put into my pc at some point.

Reminds me of the SAS motto, "He who dares, wins",
or something like that .

TY RJ, glad its done, and kind of bummed nothing EVGA at this point on my personal setup. Got some extra storage over prime day that is just sitting there... I really need to put windows 10 or the non 22h2 of 11 on one of the m.2's so I can get my 37-39k 3DMark Score. Just have no motivation to rip my pc apart again.

Those are impressive M.2 SSDs for sure. Sadly I have nothing from EVGA in my rig right now. First time that has happened for years. I will be doing a minor upgrade soon myself.

" Just have no motivation to rip my pc apart again."      Excellent new drives, donta1979 !
I know what you mean .  I just did that, and it came out good IMHO, but I don't want to do it again right away .  Like you, I did want to put some more storage in though,
so I ordered a NOS 1TB gen 3 PCIe NVMe SSD add-in card to  put in an available gen 3 PCIeX4 slot on my board .  Just take off one case side panel, take out one back
grill screw, and plug it in, no wires, no removing GPU, heat sinks, ect.  I wonder if there is a PCIe slot add-in adapter card that could handle those SSD you've got ?

My GPU and support bracket would have to come out, so moving of some wires. Then I have to clean the glass again if I do not wear white handling gloves. Then put it all back together, not going to unplug the gpu not a fan of having that gen5 cable messed with at all. The more you mess with it the more apt something will happen.

Yep, I see what you mean .  When I put in my add-in card ssd in I'm going to be so lazy that I'm not even going to un-hook the back cables .  I'll just work on it while laying on the floor .
I will shut it off, I guess :)
You reminded me of that gen5 cable melting thing I had heard about, so I took a look at it on gamers nexus .  Glad I didn't need to use mine that came with the new EVGA gen5 1000W PSU
I just installed in the "new" computer .  It still has the EVGA 3090 FTW with three 8 pin connectors .  Lot's of bulky wire, but apparently it's needed .

I'm a bit lazy myself, but the next minor update will require a tear down of what I have now.

Is that going to be your backup machine, or your show case machine ?
BTW, MODS RIGS show case page seems to be down .
