I received my 3080 last week. My time in the EVGA Queue was up!

Even though I managed to get a 3090 at launch it took over a week to get it cause UPS messed up the customs paperwork.
 
Still debating on whether or not I should add an exhaust fan in the back. I would definitely have to move the AIO forward a bit more.

I can't send a PM, I don't have enough posts even though I joined a while back. Canadian I presume? How did the brokerage go, if I may ask? I am in the queue but I am worried about how much the brokerage through someone like UPS will cost me. It might be worth it to wait until I can source a card through a Canadian retailer.
 
Thanks! And, nice setup.

There are no duties associated with PC parts currently. So brokerage ends up being provincial taxes + $10 UPS brokerage fee. Do not pick UPS Ground, they charge brokerage fees based of the item value instead of a flat fee, pick the UPS Express shipping options. Final cost should be anywhere from $30-150 (after credit card forex conversion and fee) more compared to buying locally. Assuming you use someones associate code (there are plenty of helpful forum goers with their associate code in their signature) you save 5% off MSRP which should help bring the difference down to sub $100.
 
My final cost was just about $140 over Canadian MSRP plus tax.

Thanks! Just 4 more posts and I could have responded via PM instead :)

are those fans at the bottom of the case below your GPU some kind of Pcie fan set?
