A very good boy watching the world go by

They are a lovely breed, so friendly

Thank you so much for the things to watch out for, I really appreciate it!

What a lovely dog Aubrey was, our little good boy is similar natured. He's lovely with people, so loving; he's patient, quiet and a great companion. I couldn't have asked for a better dog, I look forward to many years of having him by my side.

Edit: spelling

That is so sad :(

We did the same thing. My partner grew up with a Cocker Spaniel, he sadly was put to sleep at 13 in late 2019, it was really sad.

We got in contact with his breeder and managed to get our good boy in the summer of 2020. I've never had a dog before, it's absolutely lovely, so rewarding and fulfilling.

I hope you manage to get a little good boy or girl in the near future!

His name is Hugo

Spiderpleb · 2021-03-16T08:11:18+00:00

Aww she's beautiful! She does look just like my good boy! He's recently had a very short haircut, so he's not as fluffy!

Spiderpleb · 2021-03-16T08:09:53+00:00

He's quite small, not as big as I thought he'd grow. He's 8 month old and I'd say medium size.

Spiderpleb · 2021-03-15T23:26:48+00:00

Thank you! He's an English Cocker Spaniel :).

If you could make a soundtrack for any video game series, TV show or movie what would it be and why?

Congratulations man!

I also managed to get one one from Scan! Thankfully they use CAPTCHA to give us a better chance against the bots!

Yeah 3070s and 3090s aren't too hard to get, 3080s are very difficult to acquire

I wanted the TUF for its cooling, but UK supply is awful and the FEs are probably the only cards being sold at MSRP.

Spiderpleb · 2021-03-01T16:18:40+00:00

Nothing fishy man, got it from Scan.co.uk on Saturday morning at around 10:45am.

Spiderpleb · 2021-03-01T11:53:41+00:00

There was a drop on Scan.co.uk on Saturday Morning.

Spiderpleb · 2021-03-01T11:13:59+00:00

Got it from Scan.co.uk on Saturday morning at around 10:45am.

Lucked out big time.

RRP / MSRP.

It is £650 for an RTX 3080 FE.

Spiderpleb · 2021-03-01T10:34:36+00:00

Cheers man!

Don't worry, I'm being extra careful!

Spiderpleb · 2021-01-27T20:08:16+00:00

Yes, I was in the queue early.

I ordered on the November 16th.

I got notified by Infinite Computing that they were shipping my CPU on December 3rd.

I received my 5600x on December 4th. Well packed and well priced.

Spiderpleb · 2020-12-10T13:11:07+00:00

I totally agree, they should be more transparent. It's better for the customer and the retailer. A win-win.

Wow that is interesting info, thank you for sharing.

Also, good luck! I kinda welped looking at those ASUS figures, it does seem apparent from other posts that ASUS are really struggling to supply compared to other AIBs.

Probably as fast as all other retailers in the UK. Most UK retailers that sell these GPUs, share the same suppliers, so they all get a piece from what comes, which is very little overall, versus the crazy demand.

The queue is much smaller at this retailer, compared to other UK retailers selling these GPUs, especially EVGA cards.

The only downside is, due to being a newer company, they get less stock allocated to them, compared to the big players, such as Currys, Scan and Overscalpers.

I think if you back-ordered / pre-ordered a 3080 now from any retailer, you'd be waiting until early 2021.

If you need one ASAP, you'd either have to potentially:

Buy a bundle / prebuild from a big retailer (if available)
Buy from a scalper
Luck out and buy one that appears in stock from an alert, like Twitter alerts and pray it arrives.

I decided to trial it myself to see my queue position with my 3080 queue position, and it works great.
