Intel Cyberpunk 3090 Strix PC Giveaway

That is a silly looking case, and no optical drive slot either :s. At least the total value isn't ridiculous due to cases/cooling like some of the past giveaways. This time it's $4500.

Looks like the asus mobo disables 4/6 sata ports to allow for the 2 nvme drives, so the 3090 gets pcie 3.0 x16. The 2 middle Sata ports are still active. SLI would drop it to x8 x8 though.

I kinda hate how they all use gleam nowadays, because it takes significantly more time to do and the chances of winning anything are low...

Just a heads up about winning these contests - you will be responsible for the taxes for the value of this thing, which may be around $1k or more... I had that happen to me years ago with a system that was not worth what they were claiming it was, and I think I overpaid for the win in taxes...
It may be worth it for this system, but still, it may be a bunch of unexpected money you have to pony up...

Just put that hideous case on ebay and I bet that covers it. Though I'd scalp the 3090 too probably.

Am I the only one kind of disappointed that the PC went Intel over an AMD 5950X?
