    Eth skyrocketed over the past week. Looking more and more like GPU shortage won't quit anytime soon.
    With the "limiter" on the 3060, it is still worth waiting or attempting to get one at close to MSRP (i.e. waitlist at EVGA.com)?

    You can use a dev driver to bypass the limiter on the 3060. Odds of getting one is nearly zero, but yeah, if you do its worth it to mine with.

    I have two 4 gig hard drives left over from a PC a friend built for me way back in 2006, I would like to retain those, and re use them.
    I'm going to assume these are IDE and not sure if you'll find a modern board that can read these.

    About $1k or so, what would that get me? Max is $2k which should be more then fair for a somewhat basic PC
    Normally I'd say get a custom one built but some parts are still scarce so I'd actually just say get this one:
    https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00116880

    The processor and graphics card in it are newly released generations so they'll last you many years to come and it's a very powerful computer so whether you game or not it'll last a long time. It has wifi and bluetooth built in as well which is handy. You can likely ask MemoryExpress to transfer the data off those old hard drives onto a folder on the desktop, it should only take a few minutes for them to connect them and then however long to copy the files over.

    Otherwise this one is a bit cheaper and would still last you a long time. The graphics card is more meant for business use rather than gaming but since you said you won't really game on it then it shouldn't matter. (It'll still play games anyways)

    Hey guys, is there anybody on here that can build me a somewhat decent PC? I'm not much into gaming, so I don't need these crazy graphics cards or the like. I have two 4 gig hard drives left over from a PC a friend built for me way back in 2006, I would like to retain those, and re use them, or at least transfer the data to new ones . I'm pretty open to anything else. He built it for me back then for $1k in parts, it stopped working about 8 years ago.

    Do you do any gaming? Can you survive just on integrated graphics? That would make your build a lot cheaper.

    there's guys selling a Dell i5 10400f with 8gb and 256GB SSD for 500-600$ on facebook.
    They selling these for cheap because they pulled the 3060ti or 3070 from these

    I received a waitlist email from EVGA yesterday. Checking kijiji, looks like there's a few EVGA 3060 cards getting shipped here in the next day or two. Those kijiji listing range from 800 - 1000. With shipping, conversion and import fees, those cards should come to about $575-ish CAD.

    I called MemEx yesterday and they have a bunch of 6700XT and 6800XT in stock, I guess no one wants them because
    a. over priced
    b. not good for mining
    If you can get a 6800XT for retail (~$1200) I'd take it over a scalped 3070 ($1600+) if you're not playing a title that utilizes Nvidia specific tech like SPS or SMP then the 6800XT does outperform the 3070.

    @Graham_A_M this is the cheapest I’ve seen so far, usually around 500-600 on FB or kijiji

    My 3080 finally came in. We live in a crazy times. I literally took my 2080ti out, posted on FB marketplace and it was sold in 5min for the retail (1180) of the new card.

    Looks like if you back ordered Asus or gigabyte they are coming in slowly now.

    Which store? I'm concerned that Memex lost my name on the list from Jan. I tried to ask last time I was there and got a "we promise you, you're still on the list" without even checking.

    NW store. I also had a ftw3 ordered at the NE store Feb 10 but they made me cancel that when I picked up the Asus from NW. They definitely sticking to the lists and only selling one 3080 per ID now after all the scalping going on.

    I think it all depends on the model. In general Asus seems to be pumping way more 3 series to memx. I asked them if I should wait for the evga ftw and they said they haven't even been getting them

    What model are you after?

    Is Memory Express still making you pick a very specific GPU (eg. Asus Strix OC) for their wait lists? Or can you pick any 3080 now?

    The 3080Ti's will be available in June and I want to try get one however gambling on which exact model will be available is going to be a nightmare.

    I tried calling Memex to ask but "Peter" in the NW location was a giant asshole and refused to even discuss GPU availability.

    Ya very specific - I had to choose which 6800 xt I wanted, but the guy over the phone was very helpful. Gave him 3 choices that I wanted and he let me know which had the shortest list/which came in most often.
