Assuming Mike was legit and just got in over his head, I do kinda feel sorry for the guy

He was clearly trying to take advantage of the rage

What I mean is that, if he legit thought he could fill every order he took, he's an idiot, but I feel sorry for him for going so far out on a limb that it wrecked his business.

If this was always a long con, well, frick him, but I just don't see how that's possible

I think he wasn’t too smart, had a legit overseas source somehow and just took wayyyyy too many orders.

That’s kind of been my thought. I think he was legit, but only had a real capacity of maybe a few dozen cards. Then took orders for what was hundreds, if not thousands, of cards. And by time he realized, he was fricked.

So is BB still dropping FE cards every couple weeks or can I cancel my Hotstock sub until 4000 cards release? Don’t think I’ve seen a notification in at least a month

Which one are you looking for? Lafayette has a 3090TI in stock for 1,999.99. There is an Add to Cart button to get in a "line" on the 3080 TI for 1,199.99.

Would be nice. But I just pulled the trigger on a i9-11900K because it had a $50 off coupon. Installed Friday. I don't know why I do stuff like that. lol

I cut a hole in my case last week, mostly out of boredom. I'm sympathetic

Seems to be working great. I downloaded a benchmark software that puts a load on the cpu and it didn’t cross 77 C. What did this software do? I have no idea. But I played a few games and it stayed below 70.
