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!

Took me a bit but I worked it out. I'll make a throne of them for my palace.

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.

Retailers, AIBs, and System Integrators warn of GeForce RTX 50 series shortages and delays - VideoCardz.com

GeForce RTX 50 in short supply NVIDIA has a problem with GPU shipments. NVIDIA made several mistakes during the announcement of the RTX 50 series. Board partners were unable to prepare stock before the end of the year because the company failed to provide the final BIOS on time. Now, it seems...

Convert from USD to AUD, add GST and standard extra Aus markup and these aren't too bad considering. 5080 works out a little dear and more like 4080 launch price before the Super discount. 5090 sticks closer to what the 4090 was actually selling for. The question is for how long because of supply is right then these will creep up over the first few months.

Edit: some more pricing including Gigabyte and Asus has appeared via PC Part Picker. Looks like all 5090s will be in the $4ks which is what 4090s have been selling for (haven't seen them start with a 3 in probably 12 months). Only the Astral is way out but if it starts with a 4 here then I may consider. Already spending a ton so what's a little more and being dearer may scare off others including scalpers and increase my chances.

Also I'll be going through Scorptec. I reckon bots would already have PCCG and Mwave zeroed in as their pages are live and I know people from states outside Victoria are also looking at PCCG as the listings are up. Sites like Scorptec and PLE should be a more level playing field if they don't display the cards until they're available for sale.
