Don't know much about that case, I'll have to look it up. The price difference between an average case that you might have issues building in vs a slightly larger premium case isn't actually that much in the long run.

it was just so nice..everything feels solid, all the screw holes lined up perfectly, plenty of room for components + cables, everything really easy to remove and put back in like panels and the PSU shroud. even has spot to hide away your wifi antenna haha

Not holding my breath I'll be able to secure a card very quickly anymore. Too many comments and reports from distributors and various sources that 5080 supply is extremely thin but better than 5090 which is still non-existent in palaces. This is going to be another paper launch but surely we'll never see a repeat of the 30 series again. Best I hope I can manage is the stores don't block orders so at least I can get a 5090 order in at launch price before they inevitably increase.

Surely if you have a palace you can get a 5090!

It's interesting because I read a bunch of posts about some random german saying stock will be really low but then in the comments a heap of people saying they talked to their local stores and we're told stock would be way better than last couple generations so idk what to believe

Yeah I dunno as well. I've read that stock is OK without being great but reading more about it being shit. I wouldn't be surprised if US is getting stocked to beat tariffs at the expense of smaller markets which might be why there are heaps of different reports.

I don't get why it's so secretive. Now that the MSRP is known I don't know why they have to hide the price of the other cards until launch. At least let people plan their budgets.
