I guess so mate. I feel like there is only a few of us in this thread now. But I noticed that myself that the ETA doesn’t show up anymore.
how many days you been waiting?

ooohhh, i'm tempted to change my 3070Ti to a 3080 now for another £100, but i have porbably spent enough now to be fair, must leave "Amend Order" link alone......
I actually haven't ordered yet. I'm looking to get a new build as a birthday gift so if there was still a significant wait I'd need to order now. Likewise if the stock is available then ordering now would be way too soon !

It doesn’t look like there is many waiting in this thread now so maybe you will be going into building soon. 😬

Those days have dropped so sharply! I wonder what changed all of a sudden?

When did your build go into building? Congrats by the way 😬
I imagine the ban on crypto-mining in China has had a huge effect. Second hand cards are flooding the market over there. Combine that with the fact that these newer cards are now being released with a lower hash rate (meaning they’re useless for mining) and there’s suddenly a huge sector of the market taken away. It takes time but eventually the benefits swing round to us normal people!

awesome mate! i have just gone into testing
Congrats all the younglings getting their 3080 orders early. With crypto on the rise again, I wouldn't count on availability being a constant so don't hang about 
I've had issues with USB ports on my AMD build, and apparently this is a common thing. Be sure to update the bios and if you still have issues, plug in stuff after the machine has started. Also, disabling fast start-up helped.
I will say that the Fractal Define 7 quiet case, as well as being INSANELY heavy is INSANELY quiet. My laptop's fan is literally louder, it's crazy. Very pleased overall.

Related to this, make sure you contact PCS for any BIOS updates as updating without their approval could void your warranty as per terms and conditions:Congrats all the younglings getting their 3080 orders early.
