I snagged an Nvidia 3080Ti FE from the BestBuy restock a week ago. I wasn't planning on it, but figured what the hell and the line wasn't terrible so I figured my chances were decent. They even had leftover 3090's after everything was all said and done.
I recently added another NVMe drive for the steam library due to space, but I am curious on if a NAS solution would be beneficial in the long run. I'll keep an eye on your thread to see how it works out for you if you should try it.
Did the same for my wife and I, although she prefers the smaller iPhone 8, I opted for the plus. Both using the IP6, and looking forward to the upgrade.
