😀same here magical 56. Is yours also intel with standard 3080
RTX 3080
- Thread starter GeaCon
- Start date
That doesn't sound good, hopefully it will just be damage to the case glass and PCS could get you a replacement sent out if possible.
Hopefully no other damage.
Keep us all updated

I hit 65 days today. Been in touch with PCS by email since last week when we confirmed that at least one later build was done before mine. Apparently now awaiting GPU stock again though, so we’ll see what happens.
Hoping Scarpa is right and the PC is just superficial damage rather than anything too serious!

Front panel gone!!
Now I’ve had a look inside I’m away to call them, its a Corsair 680x and I’m sure I seen somewhere the front glass panel could be removed to improve airflow so like you say hopefully a quick replacement
Will keep forum updated
Went over it with a fine tooth comb, nothing visible inside the case, less microscopic glass shards. Hopeful @SpyderTracks will give some advice about starting it once its acclimatised to the house, with all the small piles of glass within the case (cleaned now)

Just come off the phone with PCS... it seems now my motherboard (ROG Strix X570-I Gaming - it's mini-ITX) is out of stock... got the email to say it was out of stock on the 18th of December, only just called today 'cause of Christmas... but it's weird as that mobo had been part of my order since swapping to the new Ryzen CPUs on the 5th of November.
My 3080 is also still unallocated and I'm on 61 days now (ordered 5th October). They told me that they're not actually allocating stock of any component in accordance to when orders come in - components are instead being allocated to builds where everything else is otherwise ready. So now I'm picturing a nightmare scenario whereby:
The option for me to change tack completely and order a full tower-size spec is out the window too... that would be a complete cancel and restart situation. Getting very frustrated now!

So now I'm picturing a nightmare scenario whereby:
- 3080's come in, mobo out of stock - 3080's go to fulfil other orders where all other components are available, none allocated to me
- mobo's come in, 3080's out of stock - mobos go to fulfil other orders where all other components are available, none allocated to me
- Point 1 happens again
- Point 2 happens again
- Cycle continues

oh man.. This is what I was talking about earlier too, lots of us have 3080 and a 5000 series ryzen cpu, both are on pre-order and if they get the stock on different days, we're never getting our builds even after waiting since early October, and I thought Ghosthud was watching over the oldest 3080 orders to make sure they get priority..
Shouldnt we at least get e-mailed if different parts are out of stock?
Hope this link to pics works, 45 mins on phone and moved from 24 to 22, gonna be a long wait 
Eeesh... At least it's safety glass, much less chance of any tiny little shards entering the system.Hope this link to pics works, 45 mins on phone and moved from 24 to 22, gonna be a long wait
You think it should be ok to switch on after I've let it acclimatise to the house??
Should let people see all images, including glass inside case. Hence why I ask about turning on when acclimatised

yeah 10900k + Standard. Im wondering if anyone has went into building today, with standard 3080 not someone that has taken it out or changed 3090.
Tough call... I'd definitely wait until you've spoken to PCS first.
Would I switch it on, personally? Yes. But before doing so I'd use my air blower on the inside of the case (but outside of the house), then I'd pretty much take the system apart and examine individual components to make sure there was no stray bit of glass that had managed to find it's way in. I'm fairly comfortable doing that kind of thing so that's not an approach for everyone.
Thankfully you picked the best possible case to be able to have a good look around in, the 680X is an absolute peach in that respect.
EDIT - I hadn't actually seen ALL the pics at the time of writing that message, just the initial one that had been posted... there's many more minuscule fragments in there than I'd anticipated, I retract my statement. I'd DEFINITELY take the whole system apart and I'd be doing that before I used the air blower. It's a big job...

I would assume you've checked carefully for any other damage? That being the case I would switch it on.
Jeez, looks like someone has been chucking it around the van.You think it should be ok to switch on after I've let it acclimatise to the house??

Was there any damage to the box where the broken glass panel was?
With the broken glass on top of case to olooks like it may have been stacked on top of something and then fell off.
Think PCS need to get some fragile and glass stickers or something to put on the boxes.
I have checked, with very bright LED head torch, still finding small glass pieces, like top right pic on post earlier.
I'm new to PC so wouldn't know if anything subtle is wrong, but would know if its more obvious, the worry is would any of those extremely small pieces get into something, GPU for example, as there like hens teeth and how long for a replacement, or anywhere else.
Seen the social media post of DPD employees and their handling of parcels, and hoped it would arrive in one piece, even the wife was like seriously after all this time and then that
Bloody been cursed from the start
There is a small crease, barely noticeable!!!
It either fell or was rolled around, I had to drag it in, weight was quite surprising
extreme cold in warehouse for long period, maybe caused toughened glass to be more fragile??
I would wait before turning it on and see what PCS suggest. Little bits of glass get everywhere.I have checked, with very bright LED head torch, still finding small glass pieces, like top right pic on post earlier.

Only takes a small bit stuck in the gpu somewhere and it could cause problems.
