i took the Kit 1, website seems fine now.

lol, absurd pricing for any of it. 

Really it came out lower than I was guessing it would. It's a carbon fiber case and those are not cheap. All of the parts are premium on it. The fact that it has a case to carry it makes it really pretty cool for anyone who wants to show it off.

There would have been much higher demand and hype for this if EVGA didn’t decide to release it just as the RTX 4000 and rx 7000 series are about to be released. Computer hardware prices have also been plummeting for the past weeks.

Spending $5,000 for a rapidly depreciating and soon-to-be obsolete product! No thanks!

Just to chime in some math.
 
The E1 Barebones at 4999.99 doesn't make much sense compare to the Kit 1/Kit 2.
 
Assuming each item from their website:

• E1 FRAME Set - 1599.99
• RTX 3090 Ti K|NGP|N 2100.00 (3699.99 (Kit 1) - 1599.99(Kit 2))
• PowerLink™ 52u - 59.99
• VGA Vertical Kit - N/A (With the Case Combo) - Kit 2
• MB Z690 DARK K|NGP|N - 599.99
• PSU 1600 T2 - N/A (With the GPU Combo) - Kit 1
• Premium Shipping Case - "Free" (With the Barebones)

Totals: $4359.97
 
 
The difference is about currently $640.00. Even without the Z690 rebate, the difference is $410.00
Where does the $410.00 come from? Most likely the "free" Premium Shipping Case? 
 
Seems strange unless someone corrects me otherwise.
 
 




 

the fact they think a pelican case is worth $800 tells me more than I need to know. 
 

I would not mind another kingpin 3090 ti.
But I can’t do it. K2 came out to just under 4k for me!

Thanks for the math. It feels like they priced the package and then pulled out the memory and AIO....

Yeah, but the price for the case itself, $1600, is just crazy.

That's like a $300-400 case at max.

and that's a hard pass......
