Ah fair enough. I mean it's still an awesome card at an awesome price and totally worth the wait if for some people. For me personally the idea of my card being ordered on Tuesday and potentially arriving on Friday scared me because I knew I would run into issues with uni work and just generally not know what to do with myself after returning home in the evenings. I'm basically ALWAYS on my PC if I'm not at the gym or on campus.
That was a small concern that ended up tipping the scales in favor of the TRIO for me, but the TRIO is my absolute favorite design of the current generation of cards and the pricing was really decent (basically launch price). Had it not been for these R20K TRIO's, I wouldn't have thought twice about the HOF. The only other card that enticed me was the STRIX 3060 Ti for R14K, but there were none left.
By the way: your build looks impeccable. Like just unreal; so well built and parted out. I will say though, I'm not sure if I'd be comfortable running a card as powerful as the HOF off of PSU extensions. It's really nice of them that they provide them, but I've seen some horror stories online regarding the Corsair, CM, and Phanteks ones.
