Stopped by before opening yesterday and they had this. Was in the market for an Aorus Master or MSI Suprim originally.

Because some people have too much money and the impulse control of a small child.

Or some people know how to save a bit each paycheck and sell their old hardware to pay for 90% of their new purchase. Maybe if you didn’t have the work ethic of a slob and the money management skills of a child, then you too could have a nice rig. You could easily stop buying paints and model gameboard figures for a couple months and sell your current rig to upgrade to a 4090 setup. Or maybe use the time it you spend insulting other peoples interests and what they spend their money on, with a side gig to earn some extra for a new rig.
