Let me tell you a story...

cantalOPe

Back when I was picking pc parts on pcpartpicker for my build, something happened... I had already decided to go with the GTX 1070, but did not know which specific card to go with. After looking around the inter webs, I stumbled upon the MSI Geforce GTX 1070 Armor 8G OC; and it was at that moment that I knew that was the one. It had no backplate, but that didn't matter, since I was using an inverted layout. It was plain black and white, and people told me I was a fool to go with it, since it looked so plain and such. Little did they know that the plain-ness was what I was after, as it complemented the rest of my build perfectly, I added it to my build, and it was complete. All there was to do now was wait until it came time to order everything...

 

When the time came, I opened my Macbook, looked at the steam icon on the dock, and said to it:"The next time I click you, you will be in my glorious 144hz gaming rig, and then I looked at the Macbook and said:"no longer will I burden you with the high stress activity of gaming, and you will be used for what you are meant for; schoolwork. As I opened the browser, and typed in the URL, my heart racing, I clicked "system build" and clicked buy on all the parts I carefully picked after hours of research, everything else bought, I approached the last item: The video card. As I clicked on the SuperBizz link, adrenalin flowing through my veins. As the page loaded. It hit me. Under the price were 3 words, the my arch nemesis, bane of cantalOPe; it read: OUT OF STOCK. In desperation, I search Amazon, NCIX, and every tech site imaginable for it to no avail, as they were all consumed by the price gouging. In a last stand, I opened my email, preparing to send an email to SuperBizz support. As I scanned my eyes, looking for the "compose" icon, I saw some new mails from Massdrop. In an attempt to cheer myself up, I decided to read them. As soon as I opened it, my eyes flooded with joy. Massdrop, our salvation, our great lord and saviour, had started a drop for the GTX 1070 Armor 8G OC, and I clicked it.

 

I miiiiight have gotten a little carried away with the story, but whatever. Probably just the writer in me coming out :P

 

NOTE: Story is slightly modified from the truth and exaggerated
