Oh, what a lucky fan failure.

I'm still stuck with a 290 because of the miners (and AMD disappointments forcing me to jump ship). An 1180 would be perfect, but only if there's no competition from miners.

It was indeed. And being able to grab a 1070, where the rest of the year I could have only gone with a RX 480 or a 1060 was great.

AMD's situation when it comes to their GPUs is quite sad. Unless you're very brand loyal, Nvidia has become the go to route, and the mining craze didn't help either .

I was lucky when I jumped on the RX580. Mining kicked in and the price went from $380 AUD to $800 AUD at one point. Even now that GPU is still at $500.
Picked up a second RX 580 for Crossfire from a swap-meet for $250.

Vega 56 and Vega 64 is coming down in price here... And Vega refresh isn't far away, so might have a reason to upgrade my GPU's soon.
