It's interesting that that's precisely where we are with video cards-- the easiest way to get one is to buy a prebuilt system from any of the big names.
It's really not much of a stretch to see HDs go to exactly that same pressure point.

- Haemm0r 5y agoOur IT guy told us, that (about 10pcs) the Dell machines he ordered (T5810 or something similar) a couple of weeks ago will ship in July earliest(although the online shops states better delivery times). So there could be some shortage too or at least logistical problems...
- banana_giraffe 5y agoAnd getting a prebuilt to get a video card is itself becoming hard at this point. The big names are pushing estimated delivery dates for prebuilts with 30 series cards out to June or July at this point. I suppose getting a card in July in a prebuilt is still better than not getting a card on its own. While I was digging around, it looks like some of the laptops with 30 series in them are even at the "ETA: One day soon!" point.
