I'd like to see LTT do this, but bigger & more ridiculous.

Ladies & gentlemen, may I present to you... ICEBREAKER
 
It was mostly built in December last year, but I plastidipped the card recently & finally got my hands on some custom braided cables, so I'm calling it complete.







 
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
GPU: EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra (with white Plastidip)
Motherboard: Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro WiFi
RAM: Gigabyte Aorus RGB 3600MHz 4X8GB
Storage: Gigabyte Aorus NVMe Gen4 SSD 1TB
PSU: Corsair RM850X
CPU Cooler: EKWB EK-AIO 360 D-RGB
Case Fans: Deepcool MF120 GT
Case: Lian Li O11 Dynamic
Graphics Card Mount: Phanteks Vertical GPU Bracket
 
The desk is custom built with hardtop acacia wood & Ikea Alex drawers on one side. My personal favourite touch is the fans - most fans have the ugly bracket facing you if you want them pulling air in, so these were one of the few options available to avoid that. I wasn't able to get my first choice on components for everything due to supply shortages & what's generally available in New Zealand, but I think it came together pretty nicely.

Buy a can of air to dust off the internals.

Summary 
Essentially the article claims that Nvidia plans to offer very limited supply of FE cards. Street prices of the 3080 will not really be $699, but much higher. Nvidia will blame board partners for inflated prices.
 
 
I'm honestly not too surprised by this, it seems like standard Nvidia tactics. I'm probably still going to buy a 3080.
I don't know if this will still be relevant by Friday, but I'd like to see Linus discuss it on the WAN Show.

Many people like to talk about how the free market is best but NZ's government sponsored plan to roll out high speed internet to almost the entire country is going pretty well. Compare it to the US where a handful of companies have their own monopolies and refuse to upgrade the infrastructure, despite having received tax breaks for that specific purpose.
 
NZ is a challenging environment to roll out this kind of infrastructure because of the low population. Economies of scale don't really kick in with such a spread out population. It's good to see the government continuing to look to the future and provide people with the benefits high speed internet can provide.
