I used to do that, too. Then I discovered how much better the Razer Goliathus mouse pads are for spilled drinks.

If you could get them to extend the warranty by 6-12mths it'd be considerable.

idk. It depends how low 2070s can go. If retail 3060 is $600, the 2nd hand market will be about $300-350. That's pretty good for a card...
