Ugh, is today the day I finally take my dual monitor mount off my wall for the 2 singles? Been putting it off for weeks just for the hassle of it.

Nice, I considered it but I'm still rocking the previous model of it the CHG70.

They're really good monitors, may take you a few to get used to such an extreme curve though but you'll grow to like it on monitors.

Dooo ittttt. Are you going to do 2 single wall mounts? I love those ~$30 gas spring desk mounts on Amazon. So versatile

Yeah I've got two singles that will sit flush as opposed to the dual that sticks out about 2+ feet in order to get them side by side. Makes them sit out over half my desk or so, hate it.

i wouldn't say that's it. it's the same way it wouldn't make sense for me to go from playstation to xbox. i have such a big investment in the games/dlc/movies i've bought over the years that it wouldn't make sense to switch. why would i want to buy all that stuff over again?



Maybe, but products decline and change rapidly, I wouldn't want to be forced to stick with something just because of purchases years ago. Seems stupid to me. Especially if it's just movies and/or music that can be moved anywhere.

So I have a little idea for a "portable". I have a spare 120hz 23.6" monitor and almost a full gaming PC.

Mount that monitor to the backside side panel and throwing a handle on top of the case. Would probably brace the monitor and the handle with some wood, might have to find a better way to brace to the monitor. Idk, just throwing out some ideas

I have an i5 8500, 8gb ram, 512gb nvme, gtx 1080 and corsair 400r, so I only need a cheapo cooler, mobo and cheapo PSU to have all the parts

Major retailers have now mostly fulfilled all backorders, Zen 3 should be readily available at most places soon.

6900XT sold out within 10 seconds

I literally watched one of the stock trackers and they were gone instantly

Damn I forgot and slept through, although after trying for a 6800XT which had way more stock, I'm not too upset.

I didn’t see any legit 6800/6800 xt stocks. All overpriced AIB cards.

I want a 6800 or 3070 ti if it comes out and it’s similar price as 6800 and performance.

6800s are available about every night starting at 6. Multiple drops last night.

Get in an alert discord and you can get one.



Whole bunch of 5800X's dropped last night too and stayed in stock for quite awhile. Starting to meet demand there now.

I'm in two alert discords. They are overpriced AIBs. 700+ for a regular 6800.

Yeah Nvidia and AMD said MSRP by April.

I'm fine with paying 50-100 over but that's my max.

AMD decided to drop all products at the same time today. I got a 5900x into my cart immediately. Get to the place order button, won’t go through. Finally does to reveal I’ve been banned from AMD.com. Do the same thing on my PC. Do the same thing on my wife’s phone. Find out clearing the cache gets me unbanned, rinse and repeat on my phone several more times til it goes out of stock.

Call AMD customer support to complain, they fricking disconnect me and then don’t call me back even though they took a number to call me back if a disconnect does happen. Their order system is shite.

Got two fricking more added after the please wait for 5 min and still no luck even when you can add it to cart. Unavail to ship.

BB wants you to think they have a good system but it blows too.
