Bought a prebuilt through ibuypower earlier this year. Probably the best purchase I made for peace of mind alone. Finding a GPU was/is a nightmare

It all falls down to their business model.fukk is up with these chip manufacturers
It’s bare bones. Just in time manufacturing. Absolutely no surplus, everything is made to order. No money is wasted so there’s absolute profit, shareholders are happy.
So now that there’s extreme demand, they are still applying this same shyt business model and filling the backlog. It’ll legit take years before they have more capacity if they even decide to invest in it proportion to current demand.
It’s bad management. Add in the fact that chips are incredibly hard to make and it takes years of future planning to even create and organize a manufacture plant of that capacity.
