- me_me_me 4y agoI have a massive full tower case, it is housing my 3rd rig currently. The first one was standard pc and the motherboard with gpu looked tiny in it, I got 3070 recently and it barely fits (with hdd cage still in place), it looks ridiculously big. The card is so big it comes with a special bracket to be mounted below to support its weight. Those cards are not going down in price any more than they already are. Also worth mentioning $1,000 in 2000 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $1,719.92 today, it feels like those cards are getting expensive but part of it is cost of inflation.
