Okay so mine took 54 days since order date till me getting my items in Australia. That's longer than aliexpress purchases.
 
Kinda disappointed in the shipping speed tbh. It took 11 days to fulfill the order from order date plus another 43 days on that since fulfillment.
 
Good quality stuff, don't get me wrong... shipping price ($44 AUD) and speed (54 days) sucks

Posting this as a follow-up to my earlier posts is more so others know what to expect, rather than to complain. My order arrived today. Which was placed on November 26th. I was following tracking info across 3 different services to see what was happening. I've attached the shipping info for all 3 to show what they all say after delivery. What should be noted is it took 11 days for the shipment label to be created (7th Dec), then a further 22 before there was any movement (29th Dec). During this I placed a ticket on the 23rd, which got a reply on the 29th, a couple of hours before Wizmo finally updated to say "Parcel Scanned in Terminal". A reply in which the main takeaway was wait until the 3 week mark before asking LTT to investigate further, something I wasn't looking forward to since it took 5 days to get that response.
 
Once the package started to move delivery took about 20 days. I know how busy it is ordering during Thanksgiving, I knew it wasn't likely my items would arrive by Christmas. But I do not think it is unreasonable to expect my order to at least be in transit by Christmas. 33 days before any movement is not acceptable. So despite assurances from LTT support, I waited hoping my package would arrive, rather than expecting it which rather dampened the excitement when it did arrive. Part of me wishes I hadn't bothered.
 
The products I ordered seem well-made and I look forward to using them. In future I'd like a screwdriver, and a backpack. However until something changes in their shipping and communication I don't think it is worth the delivery experience.
 

I would sincerely suggest posting on the Ubiquiti forums directly for this a la community.ui.com and then reference the community post in the event you need to do an RMA on it.

They do/did batch printing and they don't send the parcels in the correct order. At least that's what is going on, with the screwdriver (black shaft) orders. They also said that they process and send around 2000 orders/day. 

Was mentioned in the WAN show a couple of weeks ago that they had been printing batches of labels (too much) in advance which makes you get the tracking number and would try to stop doing that. Have an order where it took about 8 days from label to actual shipping. 

I was all over the Black Friday deals. My plan was to buy a GPU around this time. My plan also included a 5600X but can’t get those either. So right now my new rig include a strix b550-f, 3600xt for the price of the vanilla, originally 16gb ram, but bumped to 4x8. Also got a couple of sn750 m.2s. When CPU’s drop and I can get a Vermeer my kid will get a cheap board with my XT and my gskill black and whites, as well as my old 980. As for me, hopefully a 3080 and a hexa or octal core will be in my near future.

I would disagree. There are many reasons why you buy parts when you get them. 
1. Not waiting for shipping once the last item comes
2. Sales/promotions
3. Also while this is a bit of a special case the new tariffs on china goods are going to make what I bought quite a bit more expensive, at least in the usa.
Never is a bit of a over exaggeration. You will eventually get your needed component. Like sure you probably won't get it right away but whats wrong with just having other components while waiting to get your cpu/gpu.

 

None, no point in buying parts you can't use. Like if I was merely waiting for a 3080/3080ti/3090, I'd just stick it in my existing 4th gen intel desktop until a Ryzen 5900 or Intel 12th gen makes an appearance at this rate.
 
Like buying RAM or a MB without a CPU is exceptionally foolish since you might never get the needed part.

Well heres mine I only need a 6800xt. Only way I managed to get a 5600x was with a discord bot but those came in stock at least half a dozen times a day. A 6800xt as msrp pricing hasn't come into stock for around a month so far. 
Other things I have that are not on the list are
Monitor - Mag27qrf - qd shipping
Headphones - Pc38x
Keyboard - Custom keeb parts shipping

I am genuinely curious on how many others have a PC worth of bits already or in the pipeline for a build where the last components are going to basically be the GPU or CPU of your choice.
I have a whole PC basically sitting in their boxes waiting for stock of either 3080 or 5900x
What components have you got just sitting there?
I guess this is a bit of a build without an actual build and a list without a critique as you already have the vast majority of it lol.
 
For me it would be;
Case - Thermaltake T25 TG (Mainly to match the 2 others I have)
Fans - About 8 or so 120mm UpHere RGB ring fans (Again to match the other PC's)
Storage - Samsung 980pro 250GB, Crucial P1 1TB
Motherboard - ASUS Prime x570
CPU Cooler - Corsair ML360R
PSU - Silverstone 750w 80plus Gold
RAM - 2 x 16GB T-Force Delta RGB 3600MHz dual ranked dies
Extras - 10 way Fan Hub
 

Yeah, almost a dead cert that NVidia's got a stronghold in that area. I'm waiting for the 3060/Ti to come out for my new video editing rig. Though with the rumours that the 3060 non-Ti is going to have 12GB of VRAM, I'm not sure which is going to be a better pick for video editing. I'm sure 8GB is probably be fine and will be for now but maybe, in the future, it'd be more advantageous to have more VRAM even at a smaller bandwidth than more CUDA cores. And also for a little cheaper (but having to wait another month or so, assuming I can get one at launch).

We invest  heavily into our staff/business operations because I have a particular set of "end game" goals that MIGHT be different from other content creators.
 
Making great content that gets a ton of views doesn't take a huge team. Trying to build a sustainable business operation that (if all goes according to plan) could be capable of running seamlessly without yourself someday does.
 
There is a ton of merit to both approaches. Neither is "correct".
 
And to be clear, this is not an announcement or even a HINT that I'm going anywhere anytime soon. It's just the kind of thing where if I were to get hit by a bus tomorrow I would want my family to inherit a strong, sustainable business, and I would want all of my staff to still have jobs.

Business owner blues.

Today I also:
 
- trimmed hedges
- reorganized shed
- bought new kitchen faucet at Home Depot
- played with kids
- replied to 60+ emails
- put seat covers back in car now that they've had the vomit cleaned off them
- cleaned up cat pee
- also I think I ate at some point...

Good news!
 
You live in Vancouver now. You can't afford one anyway

same here. I think thats their business strategy. make content you watch with a hangover and fall asleep.
there can't be a different reason they air at 2am CEST.

Id try your current cpu, there is a good chance that will be fine
 
yea, but id stay away from unraid and use proxmox instead personally. Or ubuntu works just fine.
 
should work fine, ssd won't help much here. A hdd will be fine.
 
no use, the vswitch works fine. You don't need to be network limited(and even then deticated ports don't really help, id look at teaming or 10gbe instead.

While i understand why you are keen to jump on the latest CPU bandwagon, as if you don't do it someone else is going to anyway, but I don't know. It just feels wrong. Weirdly, using a buzz term for it, it does just like, 'fake news.' It just feels over extending and creating a video during the Ryzen buzz just to say you have a video out. You can see why people are pissed and I think you will most likely not make this mistake again. I watch every video and live stream and enjoy the content as a whole but this video could have been better spent on a Ryzen motherboard round up or Ryzen chipset reviews or testing overclocking ability between the B series and X chipsets to see if any performance is gained between them.

Gonna be a good jump from 1080p gaming =]

A msi 680 power edition to go with my lightning. Needs many volts to keep up with the lightning. Does 1333mhz though so it's quite fast. 

It's worth negative $700 if it fries my phone.

y'all fucking weird, last thing i bought was a bread because i ran out.

One of them is my primary desktop that I use for everything (I'm typing this reply from it), one is a secondary desktop that I use when I need a Linux distro for development or troubleshooting, one is my router for all of my VMs, one is a development server for my company that hosts KVM VMs, one is a development server for my company that hosts OpenVZ containers, one is a Fedora VM I use for testing scripts on RHEL-based OSes, one is a Debian VM I use for testing Debian-based OSes, one is a Damn Small Linux VM I use when all of the CPU cores or disk IO are being used by other VMs, and four of them are a Tahoe-LAFS cluster I was playing around with.
 
I just ordered another 24GB of RAM and a replacement 300GB SAS drive thanks to this thread so now I can keep more of them powered up at a time.

New pressure washer.
