Out of Stock: Power Supplies, Motherboards, & Video Card Shortage Explained, Restock Dates

thebluebumblebee · Jun 12, 2020

I don't like posting about what other sites are or have done, but every once in a while, someone posts something so good that I think we should all pay attention. Although Steve's playing with his hair DRIVES ME NUTS, I was able to get past that by playing solitaire through out the whole video. :laugh:

He explains how all of the following brought us to the point we're at now:

After Christmas lull (expected that is)
Lunar New Year
Wuhan virus
Pandemic shutdown
PPE shipping needs
Stimulus checks

I'm putting this in this forum because it pertains to those trying to build a system at this time. I actually think it should be on TPU's front page...

I never really noticed how much he plays with his hair until I read your thread. I will never be able to look at Steve the same again now thanks alot lol. Jokes aside, I'm looking to replace about half my system and I've noticed how bad product availability is at the moment, I shall give it a watch thanks for the link.

oh,bats!

if you check shopblt, you can check their availability and their order/incoming dates. Mass availability 6/22 ish on a lot of stuff and the slowest on 7/22 ish. Check Amazon and they will show similar dates.

I bet there was many graphs as well... I'm sorry Steve but there's something about your voice that I just can't bring myself to watch anymore and the hair, well that's a personal choice type thing and it's not because I have hardly any.... Still, I'm trying to be good and not buy hardware, this is probably a good reason to not to as well

Damn shame I was going to treat myself to water cooling my 3900X for my 40th birthday coming up.. Oh well

I have to think it also had to do with people working from home. My brother started working from home, and shortly thereafter he asked me to build a new pc since he was working from it everyday. I also passed one of my monitors to him.

While some may have taken the stimulus checks and purchase a 2080ti, perhaps more practically did some upgrade computers to be able to work from home more efficiently.
