So, there I was happily transferring my hardware across to the new case, all was going swimmingly. Everything installed, cables nice and tidy, everything looking all shiny.
A few system startups later, while windows was booting up for the first time after the rebuild there comes a flash of flame and smoke as my GPU made its way to silicon heaven.
After much swearing (seriously, I even invented some new words), I resigned myself to the fact that my faithful 980Ti is dead, and so the 1080 is on the way to be collected from the local Amazon pickup tomorrow.
I really am beginning to think PC hardware manufacturers are tapping my TS conversations and general musings, as soon as I say "I might look at upgrading XXX soon" said hardware decides to bloody die on me.
It's a conspiracy!!
P.S.
My living room still smell like dead silicon. It's mildly unpleasant.
