Welp. I was able to snag a prebuilt on BestBuy.com with a 3070 this morning. I will be adding additional fans but...uh...yeah.

FlamingLiberal posted:My 3070 by itself sells for $1400-1500 so yeah, I would say that's a good deal For anyone interested, I had that page bookmarked for a few weeks and had been checking regularly. Checked at 10am PST and I almost was able to get it at my closest BestBuy but they got snapped up between adding it to my cart and checkout. Refreshed a few times the next few minutes and it said "not availble within 250 miles". A few  in frustration later it came up again as "in stock nearby". I guess they added more stock to other stores ~50 miles away and I was able to successfully order one. I really think I just got lucky. Its nuts how fast they sell.

PRADA SLUT posted:Where's a good place to buy a prebuilt? I've built a handful of PC's in the past, but the part shortages are making it tough to build right now. I'm okay paying a premium for a higher-quality build / case / etc. I bookmarked this page and checked it regularly. I was able to snag one last Wednesday in the morning but they sell out super fast. Haven't yet picked it up. Still waiting for *order ready for pickup* but they charged my card already so it looks promising. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberp...p?skuId=6434646

Still waiting for *order ready for pickup* but they charged my card already so it looks promising. FWIW I got this prebuilt Sunday, 4 days after snagging one. Fired right up and haven't had any issues so far. The RAM was set to 2666mhz in BIOS so I upped it to 3000mhz since that's what the RAM is rated for. Case airflow is pretty shite, so I added 3 exhaust fans on top, one more intake up front (3 total), and reversed the AIO fans from exhaust to intake. So all side fans intake, and exhausts upwards. Mid 70C for my 3070 at full load with ray tracing. Still a bit hot but it works. CPU stays in the mid-60s under full load.

FlamingLiberal posted:so I think you’re right that it’s just a bad case My takeaway is that air doesn't like right angles. Which is basically the intake geometry.

Butterfly Valley posted:Front intake to top exhaust is a totally normal setup, I think you might be better leaving the rear AIO as exhaust as (in theory) at the moment the air from the front is pushing against the (hot) air from the back and not getting sucked out by the top exhausts as efficiently as if it was set up as front intake top/rear exhaust. Yeah I might try this and report back.

BrainDance posted:Are people getting those premades at a reasonable time? I was able to get a CyberpowerPC through Best Buy with a 3070 by bookmarking the page and just checking it all the time and got lucky one weekday morning. Arrived at the store to pickup in 4 days. Check my previous posts. Still working great!

RVT posted:Is there room in the case to mount any HDDs? Can't tell from the pictures. How much clearance is there for a air cooler? Think I could stick a 212 in there and get rid of the water cooler? There's two HDD slots in the bottom accessed from the non-windowed side. 6.5 inches from motherboard surface to window so it would be tight. AIO works fine for me though.

So...now that my prebuilt has proven itself the past 2 weeks. I have a EVGA 1060 6GB (single fan) that needs a new home. How much could I get for it? Willing to Goon Price this if anyone's interested.

FWIW its been a month with a Best Buy CyberpowerPC prebuilt with a 3070 and honestly, other than adding more fans and having sub-par airflow, the thing has worked flawlessly. Please do not bend over and take it up the rear end for a fukin computer thank you.
