Finally got a second hand Area 51m R2 ... For a decent price.

Here is the deal I got 

 

For $750 shipped , I got the prestige R2 version with i7-10700K : 32GB 4666mhz Ram : Raid 1TB (512GB X 2) : 360HZ Screen : Dual Power Supply : and a defective RTX 2070 Super. 

 

Don't mind my X299 90% RGB Desktop Motherboard or the RTX 3090 OC Evangelion Edition on the bed hooked up to the Alienware lol. 

 

And don't mind my " building in progress... moble desktop " that is on the floor below the desktop . 😅😅

 

Not a bad deal BTW.

You gonna replace that 2070 super with a 2080 super? 😁

Will the R1 2080 work in the R2?

You can try it. I need an R2 with a bricked Mainboard to test what will work in R1 and R2. You got the R2 from eBay?

No they changed the design a bit so it won’t work with the heatsink. Might work if you mod heatsink
