I want the best chance to get the RTX 3070 - how early should I show up? I know that Micro Center is trying to get rid of lines, but I'm sure some people will still arrive absurdly early.

I…

3060 TI no longer being sold?
Hi, I was planning on going in before open to my local Microcenter, but after checking online, it seems like 3060 TI’s are no longer sold. Rather than the EVGA saying “unavailable online” like it used to, it’s simply disappeared. Is there no way for me to get a 3060 TI?

It is...less than useful...to have Compute Module 4's in stock but not a SINGLE carrier board...
I had to buy the carrier for the CM4 module I just bought today from off of Amazon, offered by Waveshare. It's kind of odd not having a KEY component in a system or DIY build type device assembly. And it doesn't QUITE seem like you're ever getting any of them in. What gives?
