Yeah honestly the price scalping is insane. I definitely feel ya with the LED’s lol I like some light in there for backsplash make things visible but I’d rather just buy the parts and not pay an extra $100+ for rainbow custom LED colors+ edition or whatever
One of my friends has a business in Amazon as a retailer and two weeks after the 3090 launch he was able to order up to 50 of each the 3080 and 3090 at release price. Can’t blame him for doing it, and I’m sure that’ anybody who is an online retailer and can access those cards is doing the same thing. I’m just rocking my old 1080 ti still. And I like LEDs but when you go all out with a PC you want it to “flair” a bit
lol everyone has their opinion
scalping on ebay 9is to be expected but when i look at local facebook marketplc post that really gets me mad lol. Also i payed another $50 for rgb on my keyboard so... :)
Yeah i have seen the pictures of those crypto machines. Kinda crazy i guess. Also i dont quite get y so many people have those pyramids. they look awful and look like a pain to replace parts in. just my opinion sryOne of my friends has a business in Amazon as a retailer and two weeks after the 3090 launch he was able to order up to 50 of each the 3080 and 3090 at release price.

My pyramid I posted runs a 3900xt 64 GB Royal RAM (3600) in silver, 1080 ti aurus x570 master and A bunch of water tubing and fittings that I would never do again, at least in that case. Only 3 nocturnal slim fans in it for the 27mm radiator and nothing goes over 65c.
It is a pain and not worth it. Wanted to be different and I don’t see many full loops in them, or any actually, and I know why, but I like how it looks now. The worst part is is that I have an issue with my motherboard and PCIE gen4 NVME drives. Instead of deconstructing the whole thing for my warranty issue I went with 2 970 evo drives. Is what it is.
Yea, it’s definitely a bad time to build one. I was planning to go pretty low tier with an rx580 or something, but even those destroy the budget now. It’s crazy how you can’t even find one for the original drop price and they’re several generations old at this point.
Agreed, I hate the leds with my build.
Its sporting an asrock steel legend 550m with an amd ryzen 9 3600x and 16gb or gskillz triden z ram. Im going to be getting a rtx 2080 for it. I built it to play minecraft lol.
Im still building this. I seald all the capacitors with urethane and Im getting a glass 1x1x1 tank with 2 120mmx240mm radiators with fans and they run through these
Those are tek plates sandwiched between a heat sink and the aluminum water block. The whole pc is going to be an oil submerged PC that pumps the oil through the radiators and the chilling tek plates. The tek plates can he turned on or off and the controller allows me to give up to 24v2a for splitting 12v 2a each for max power to both.
Urethane coats all joins sealed by glue on the acrylic skeleton and i will use nitrile calking to seal the glass aquarium. The oil will stay an inch and a half to 2 inches below the tank line to prevent wicking. It will be entirely wireless aside from the power cable.
Dude they are the ****!!! Leds rockem sockem robots bro....
Nah theyre distracting as ****
Always build if you have the time and patience.
What season did you get GC? I got it Season 14 IIRC
