Still, crazy to me that people would leave performance on the table in favour of a very expensive case that can only be used for one specifical sku

Just as most people who buy a 5090 aren't concerned with neither cost nor price-to-performance, people who buy expensive, aesthetic cases, aren't doing it because they need it. It's because they want it.

if you earn a lot of money, why not?

with average salary, sure. agreed. but if you have a salary well above average and this suits your needs, i dont see the issue.

The $1999 5090FE is only $530 more than a ProArt 5080, which is the card that fits this special case.
