    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    I ordered mine on 04/12/2020 and it arrived this morning @ 1100 so with you being a week out from me I think you can expect to hear soonish. As for comms, apart from the vanilla responses I got during the "where am I in the queue?" mails, I never got anything from PCS. However as soon as I went...

    In the vague hope of AgentCooper actually starting a Cat thread may I present Gladys Myfanwy who could best be described as pedigree baggage. Her sister believes that she is "Death of Small Things" only because big things don't wander into the garden

    I received this yesterday "Thank you for getting in touch, We are now building the orders with the 10GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 that were placed around 20th November - as you placed your order on 4th December, there is only a handful of orders ahead of yours in the queue, and I would therefore...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST 3080 - AMD Build, any suggestions?

    I went down the same road as you. I went Intel because as a veteran I had always gone Intel (bit like the "I only drive Fords" syndrome) So I wanted to bail at 60+ days and go AMD. but I was informed within a very pleasant email by PCS that it was a totally different build not a modification to...

    I believe Albert Einstein summed it up beautifully "Time is relative; its only worth depends upon what we do as it is passing" Being on 90+ days in the 3080 queue I am now fixated on only three things (not including the PCS build mail) #1 Looking forward perversely to my AgentCooper 100 Day...

    100 days would appear not so much as a "golden number" so much as an event horizon or a significant milestone. Eventually when the great silicon famine has passed we will look back fondly upon these days and be able to proudly be able to say "were you there? Did you get a cake? You have never...

    I can sympathise. My build that I have only waited 87 days for, now doesn't bare any resemblance to the one I originally ordered. A tweak here, a drive there and updated CPU, a different case and so on and so forth. Thank God for lockdown as it stops me spending on frivolous things like haircuts...

    Any particular summer in mind? According to Nostradamus (who I might add predicted in 1540 the great GPU famine of 2020/21) the Summer of 2022 is going to deliver a particularly rich seam of silicon based products (y)

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST William Shatner turns 90 Yrs old

    Just started watching (again) "Boston Legal" Shatner at his finest, the chemistry between him and James Spader is almost palpable. Gone is the egotistical posturing of the early Shatner, he is really comfortable in his acting and his portrayal of a raffish senior lawyer with age related issues...

    Pull up a comfy chair and invest in some good gin. It may be a long tortuous ride but I can assure you as an 80+ day veteran it will be both informative, amusing and sometimes you will enjoy the odd twinge of pathos. If you haven't read Chesterton's "The Club of Queer Trades" you will not only...

    If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, You obviously have no grasp of the situation And you are not...
