Whats your latest purchase?

I think you're looking at similar designs but different caps. If I'm reading it right, the ones lowfat is referring to aren't shine through / side printed.

Ahh, you are correct. Same brand, slightly different. Oops.

Edit: Placed an order for a White Lancool 217 if MemEx will honor the pricematch on Newegg's deal.

 
OK, so I did a thing. My build has been all white for a while EXCEPT for my 4080 GPU. I've been disgusted with nVidia as a company for a while, and the more drastic shift recently away from their consumer driver team has added even further frustration. I've been debating options for a white GPU for quite a while, and simultaneously debating the switch to Team Red. And now that it's very likely new gen releases for both super series AND next gen AMD cards have been significantly released, I started looking at my options in earnest.

After quite a while keeping an eye on the market, I found a decent price through a vendor on a PowerColor Red Devil Spectral White 9070XT. As far as I'm concerned, it's the sickest looking card in the 9070XT lineup, and all the driver improvements have really pushed it in to incredible value territory. It should match or beat my Zotac 4080 in almost all areas, and should be quieter as well. Couple that with FINALLY having the last element taken care of that matches my build, and I should be a happy camper. It's a bummer that I need to re-cable the GPU power since the new card has 3x 8pin instead of the 12VHPWR cable that the 4080 has, but I can't say I'm sorry to go back to a more reliable cabling method.

I ordered it today and it should be here on the weekend. I guess we'll see how I feel when I open it up.

The hellhound variant also looks interesting with the middle fan spinning the other way.
