Whoa!3080 I ordered in Feb still has no ETA despite being first in Queue. Finally starting to get impatient
Who's was the order through?
I think I'd be hassling them every couple of days.

My pc along with my server + router are connected to a UPS.
The UPS will get overloaded and start beeping if I run anything intensive on the 6900 XT LOL

PLE. It's been stuck on 78% orders fulfilled for my particular model for a while now.

PLE were really unhelpful with their queue system last year around launch and were first I told to get bent. I'm not in the business of giving interest free loans.

What's the model? Are you sure the AIB is even still making it? There's a non-zero chance that the reason the queue isn't moving is because PLE aren't getting in any stock of that particular model and are too lazy/reticent to tell you that

DHL from Taipei - just got notification they have my cooler and heatsinks. Shipped directly from Noctua not NewEgg. Cost of the cooler and heatsinks from NewEgg the same as the cooler alone here in AU.

This is exactly what happened to me with PLE. It turned out the card wasn't even in production at the time yet they were still taking orders. Given my experiences with them the two times I shopped at their Melbourne store I don't know why I even bothered. * PLE, I'll stick to Case Gear and Scorpy.

DHL are one of the few shipping without much hassle I think. I was about to order a guitar from the States on Reverb recently which is when I learnt about the USPS thing. Apparently USPS are/were putting stuff addressed to Australia back in the return to sender stream. A couple services on USPS to Aus were still operating but I didn't understand the details nor wanted to risk it. Mentioned it to a mate who pointed me to a Japanese guitar store he uses and I saw there that EMS from there to Aus wasn't operating so they were putting everything on DHL.
Hopefully with the lockdowns lifting in Sydney and Melbourne, the two main gateways into the country, these shipping issues clear up.
Been doing a bit of research on a new case for my PC (YouTube reviews and a few websites), but still finding it hard to nail down exactly what I want, so hoping you guys might have a few suggestions, there seems to be so many to choose from...
Prefer a full sized case (I have a micro-ATX MB, but don't mind the bigger size if it's of greater benefit).
Cooling obviously most important aspect as I'd like to eventually get a 4080 or whatever they release (and I can get my hands on)
Would like all fans pre-installed, but can buy my own if it's of a huge benefit to cooling and/or cost.
No RGB stuff, prefer a white case, but easy really.
Noise reduction a nice to have but I game with headphones so not a big deal
Around $200-300 preferable, but can go over if it's definitely worthwhile.
Cheers for any help, really like to narrow down and then try find something over Black Friday time.

Just make sure it has the updated fan controller
Corsair 4000D Airflow, Phanteks P400A, Lian-Li O11 Dynamic Mini are some other well regarded cases iirc

eVGA GeForce XC3 LHR. I've been giving them the benefit of the doubt because of the pandemic. I did email them but their reply was basically no new info on what my order says. People say Scorptec has plenty now but their cheapest ones look about 2k? I paid $1300 for mine. Asked around elsewhere and there's a few people even worse than me who have been waiting a month or two longer for their own models

Doesn't look to be any stock of that SKU anywhere but Scorptec has the updated version in stock
Buy EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 XC3 Ultra Gaming LHR, 10GB | Graphics Cards | Scorptec Computers
EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 XC3 Ultra Gaming LHR, (Boost:1755MHz), 10GB GDDR6X(19000MHz,) PCI-E 4.0, 1x HDMI 2.1, 3x DisplayPort 1.4a, iCX3 Cooling, ARGB LED, Metal Backplate, Lite Hash Rate at Scorptec.com.au, the online Gaming PC, server computer and technology experts. Fast delivery to Australia.
I'd be pushing PLE hard to try to get them to replace it with something similar at the price you paid.
Pretty poor to be left hanging if you paid full price. It's one thing to pay a deposit but another to be kept waiting 9 months - you could have had a baby in that time!
Thankfully my dealings with PLE for my 6900 XT were seamless (but it was a stock item).
This is the closest to your card that I could find "in stock" with anyone online - not sure who PC Meal is though or how reputable they are - it's a pretty good price for a 3080 (but not what you paid for it)

At launch they were taking orders for the Strix 3080 non-OC when overseas reps were saying it wasn't even in production. PLE's attitude was pretty much too bad, cancel, order something else and go to back of queue.

Some of these might fit your needs - they aren't huge but should fit all you need in - some you might need fans

This looks pretty much inline with what you were after too - pretty new on the market I think

Yeah now that we are opening up more I'll be pushing the issue a bit harder and maybe a mention of the ACCC will yearn some results.
Their fulfillment % just went up from 78 to 79% so it seems the models are definitely still in production.
Or people are cancelling, pushing the number up.
I'd definitely be pushing them first up, and maybe mention the ACCC if you think they're trying to BS you later on. Given the current situation globally I doubt the ACCC are going to achieve much, PLE will just cry about demand and shortages to hide the fact they dropped the ball on customer service. I'd be pushing for discount on another model or a refund, as there's no way they'll give you the chipset you ordered at the price you paid.

Compared to GD and the ******* mods that have to argue with everyone in every thread that you are unable to put on ignore, the bar is set pretty low.

This board is pretty easy. All the posters are cool, the footy and politics crap stay at the door, it's just a safe place for nerds to come and be nerds. I see what some of the other board mods have to put up with. No thanks.

As long as they don't release any new AFL Evolution games, it's easy.
Intel just announced their 10nm 12th gen desktop CPUs, that might trigger a bit of fanboyism when they're available next weekAs long as they don't release any new AFL Evolution games, it's easy.
