I went for a standard old "black box" case to counter that, I really don't care about the glass side panels it's not like I need to look inside my PC(and if I do it's likely I'm gonna have to open it anyway) so I grabbed one that has a normal metal panel. When I open it there's a bunch of lights and stupid shit in there, but when it's closed it barely does any light(there's a few openings where light filters a bit when the room is completely dark, but not much more than the usual lights you get from the power indicator and such).
Sometimes the non RGB products are cheaper, but sometimes there's just no alternative for the same product without the stupid lights. Sometimes you can turn the lights off too so it doesn't matter that much, but ultimately getting a nice old school case is the best "fix" imo.

What do you guys think about this one? I know, Intel and not the latest AMD hotness, but still not a bad price considering its got a $1000-$1400 3070, lol.
www.microcenter.com
Say they have 25 in stock, last one I was eying was a 5900x with same components as the one above, for $2300 but it sold out before I could jump on it. Fuck me, I should have drove my ass out there and bought it right away.
Fuck, maybe ill just wait for next year, maybe all this bullshit shortages will be over by then, AMD will have yet another hotness better than todays too. That intel in that box above scores pretty low compared to the 5800x.
I have all the bullshit I need to build a 5800x box in my amazon shopping cart except the damn video card, and fuck you if im paying $1000-$1400 for a $550-$600 card. I refuse to be a sap.
....The Raphael family of Ryzen CPUs is expected to be introduced around mid of 2022. The Raphael line of AMD Ryzen 7000 Desktop CPUs will feature full compatibility on the brand new AM5 platform which will feature DDR5 and PCIe Gen 5.0 support.....
PowerSpec G436 Gaming Computer; Intel Core i7 10700K 3.8GHz Processor; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 8GB GDDR6; 32GB DDR4-3200 - Micro Center
Get it now! The PowerSpec G436 desktop computer is a powerful gaming machine featuring the Intel Core i7-10700K unlocked processor cooled with a Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L 240mm RGB Water Cooling Kit mounted on an MSI Z490 Plus system board.

Best thing to expect there however is to shift demand from the current series so you can get that cheaper, as rocket lake is a really weak generation.

I just picked up a scratch and dent Alienware AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800X , RTX 3080, 16 gigs ram 2 1TB SSDS and 2 years service and 2 years of accidental damage ( they wanted 200 for the 2 year service and 140 for accidental) I talked them down to 100 dollars for both. Grand price of 2200 with 4% cashback.
The computer was originally 2700. I just kept going through the online chat and would ask for huge discounts. This one dude did it.
There were a few 3090s up there but people snatched them up before me. Im too old to dick around building my own stuff with an almost 2-year-old running around.

I always have the option of pouring water on the pc if I hate it so they can keep giving me new ones for the next 2 years. I'd rather build my own but tracking down the damn cards and having it already built for me for that price was too easy for me. Maybe I can turn my baby 1080 into a miner and make 1 dollar a day.

GPU and Console Shortages Could be Exacerbated by Water Shortage
Taiwan is facing a drought. The problem could affect TSMC's microchip factories located there, which use a lot of water in the production of chips for Apple, Nvidia, Intel and AMD, among others.

Hell ya. 10 years ago I would have laughed at you. Now the smartest play is to get a pre built. Mine should be here tomorrow then it’s Alyx in max settings.

Not sure where I can find it. Is this it? It says its in production even though its a scratch and dent? Looks like I had a better deal than I thought at first since I asked for upgraded ram and the service plans.
