Love it.  Too rich for me though.  Might get lucky and get it for 50% off in 3 months like the z690 dark

I don’t see the price dropping much on a build to order item, since there will never be an overstock to drop the price on.

IMO a custom carbon fibre case like that is worth the premium.  Yes they're making a profit on it, but come on, that's a genuine carbon fibre case.  That can't be cheap to manufacture, especially if it's a limited edition.

So, first question, is this a limited edition run?  

Next question, where do UK buyers go to buy one of these kits?

Then, what is the PowerLink™ 52u?  Is that the starter button/key fob thing?

Excited to see it released finally, but boy what a wait and I do agree the timing sucks at this point.

Power link 52U 5 eight pin cables to 2 sixteen pin cables, and cables face the back of the case.

Power link 52U can ONLY be used with the 3090ti K|ngp|n currently.

The power link 41S has 4 either pins to 1 sixteen pin, and the cables go out straight.

EVGA.com is for North America only and I don't see the E1 in the products tab EU EVGA website.

If they made it out of aluminum and allowed the case to be taken part. That would sell way better IMO. People could polish it or paint it to any color they wish.

Not sure about the premium price for the frame but Kit 1 pricing is interesting, anyone know how much the Kingpin 3090Ti costs by itself?

It was launched at 2499.99 with a 1600W P2 PSU a while back. So Kit 1 will be 400 dollars cheaper than buying them separately (also a better PSU T2 instead of P2).

Yes this seems to be an interesting value if you dont want to wait for the next gen GPU cards. Anyone else pulling the trigger on these? I dont see anywhere where its exclusive or limited run or numbered?

Interesting, yes. In terms of value no. I’m interested in the frame itself, but the price is just too much.
