Whelp, cancel my PC building plans (again). Every time I start the process to build one, I always end up finding a great laptop deal.
$1299 no taxes and free shipping for this seemed really great considering the issues I'll have finding a card for the next few months. https://www.newegg.com/black-msi-gl-...82E16834155401 |

I ordered the cpu, ram, mobo, and ps yesterday. Now to find a frigging card. I put my name in the EVGA notification list. God knows how many people are on it in front of me. I like that they are making every effort to keep the bots and scalpers out of it this time around though.

I hook it up to a monitor (this changes between my Dell ho-hum monitor capped at 75 hz @ 1080p and my spectacular LG 65" C9). The REAL reason I got it is for hooking it up to my Quest 2 for VR wirelessly via Virtual Desktop or cabled with the Oculus link. There are some titles on SteamVR that I cannot play on natively on the Quest 2 that I am excited about playing. I've got a 2018 Omen with the 1060 6G card that will play my VR games, but I'm looking to upgrade for more performance, especially in light of the fact the Quest 2 has a resolution of almost 2k per eye.

Yes it is. I might have considered a Mini-ITX for a hot second, but the fact that Virtual Desktop works best wired means I would still have to lug it downstairs every time I wanted to use it. Hopefully your build is coming along nice!

Not on anything major. I picked up some Samsung memory for the build I’ll do some day if they ever release anymore 3080s. 970 Evo Plus 2tb nvme for $249.99., usually $469.99. 970 Evo Plus 1tb nvme for $149, usually $229, and 860 1tb sata ssd for $99, usually $169.
Beats by Dre Power Beats Pro for $150, usually $249. All at Best Buy. Also got a Milwaukee M12 Fuel hammer drill for $99 and Milwaukee 28 piece ratchet set for $99 at Home Depot.

Has anybody used this case before, looking at picking one up, Walmart has them for like $70. Wanting something with really good airflow through it.

I just got done watching Gamers Nexus do a breakdown of it and seen a Cooler Master and a Lian Li case I’m interested in that seem to offer a little more. His test show the Lian Li as cooling their test setup about 10c cooler, so I’m checking it out now |
