    +1 for doing all the research.

    But I personally would change out a few parts and spend a bit extra. A bit extra gets a lot more back in terms of performance, so while these parts are cheap, they aren't necessarily the best value for money. Don't know how I feel about that PSU. The GPU I definitely would change out. I already own Windows 7, so wonder if they'll deduct that to bring it down.

  -edit: beaten-

  PCCG also have a nearly identical (different PSU) prebuilt system at $999 (http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&c…) so this is a pretty good price!

  Albeit the GPU won't be very useful for most newer games; and the PSU would probably need upgrading if you want a better GPU

    That GPU is actually pretty great in current games, most of which look pretty fantastic at medium settings, but after spending $700… you could get a better GPU with several times more game performance and only take your total to $800 or $900.

      I disagree. Sure it's not the best gaming card, but it is enough to game on. I have a secondary PC with a slower Radeon HD7750 and it plays games fine, just not super pretty, at 1080p (DOTA2, TF2, Diablo 3, etc..).

        MrZ on 09/04/2014 - 13:23

        You're missing the point. If it's just "enough" to game on, why not just stick it in your existing PC? Building a whole new gaming PC around such a mediocre card makes zero sense.

  Totally crazy to buy from this firm. They do not honour warranties and apply excessive charges to postage. I duly followed their procedures and it took months to seek a replacement USB stick, then they asked $10 for postage. Bearing in mind that I paid $10 for the stick in the first place and also paid the $2 for the return postage. When challenged they simply did not respond and did not send the replacement stick.

    I placed an order on Monday and it is still yet to be shipped. I guess I am just spoiled by PCCG's service (albeit higher shipping costs).

  As cheap as the deals are, this doesnt justify their services being crap and product breaking down.
  You don't get what you pay for especially if you're not in melbourne doing the order.
  The warranty is stressful process and they don't care if you stop following it up.
  They will forget about you, and its all about sales on chinese made product essentially.

  1. Bought PC over $1200, took a month for delivery, uses the worse shipping company that does not respond to you.
  2. Few components broke DOA, is fine since there was extra cables to reuse and another PCI e slot.
  3. Power supply died after 2 months which took 4 months to rectify under warranty, all expenses paid by me.
  4. GPU died, faulty geforce that wasn't tested at build.
  5. Lot of hair loss due to stress chasing these incompentent sales people.

  rant over, good luck in your journey with CPL. MSY is actually slightly better than them.

      It's one thing to broadcast these publicly to possibly gain sympathy? but another to know how they treat individuals, customers, YOU.

      I'm not saying they didn't do the warranty, they just didn't do anything at all!
      They lack the action to rectify an individual's issue, and are reluctant to carry the blame.

      They will give you a hard time before they justify their time spent to support you, to honor the warranty or to even speak with you.

    You can't put the quality of the products on them. That is the manufacturer's problem. CPL are sourcing their products from the same places everyone else is. So this "chinese made product" complaint holds no water. The chinese make everything, including your iPhone, iPad, and just about all gadgets. Who makes them isn't CPL's fault.

    Was your GPU faulty upon receiving it? If so, it was DOA and should have got instant replacement. If not, their initial testing can't be expected to detect that it would die on you.

    I'm not defending CPL but some of your complaints lack merit.

      JayCeeJay on 09/04/2014 - 14:22

      No, you are wrong. not everyone sources the same components that other places source, and I really don't care where CPL sources it from. I'm a customer, and I want to know that the things I buy WORK, its them who are responsible for it to WORK, doesn't matter if they sourced it from Uranus or some other world.

      That is their product, and the product has to be supported which they have next to none in caring about it once they've got your cash… only when you start your journey (because it takes a long time) in chasing them up to hopefully shorten the time that you get something back that works.

      Please don't say my comment don't hold merit when you don't understand the comment…

      … and yes you are defending them. "Who makes them isn't CPL's fault." It is their fault, you deal with them, not the manufacturer, did you buy from manufacturer? Who is then responsible.

        The manufacturer is responsible. The manufacturer produces a million products which is then exported to all over the world, the stuff that CPL have and the stuff that MSY have all come from the same factory, in all likelihood.

        So lostn is right, your complaints totally lack merit and it sounds as if you need to go back to high school to do some probability classes.

        RJK on 09/04/2014 - 22:20

        Retailer is responsible to the customer, as there is a contract of sale between them.

        The manufacturer is responsible to the retailer.

        It's all written up in law.

      • 

        lostn on 10/04/2014 - 14:11

        Retailer is responsible for the warranty. If you don't like their warranty, that's a valid complaint.

        If your complaint is the products you bought from them were faulty, CPL didn't manufacture the products. The manufacturer is the one to blame for that.

        If you're saying some of the products are made in china, while others are made in the USA, and CPL are buying the ones that are made in china while everyone else is buying US made goods, I'd like to see your evidence for this.

        No, you are wrong. not everyone sources the same components that other places source

        Would like to see evidence for this. Where they source it from is irrelevant. They're all made in the same factory. Inevitable some will be faulty, most will be good. You got unlucky.

        I'm a customer, and I want to know that the things I buy WORK, its them who are responsible for it to WORK, doesn't matter if they sourced it from Uranus or some other world.

        How would you suggest they go about doing this?

        What do you want them to do? Not sell factory sealed items? Open every item up from the box and test them before selling them? That's hardly realistic. What other way do retailers have to make sure the product works before you buy it? What can they do about products that go faulty 6 months after you buy them, even though they were working 100% at the time they were sold? Is CPL supposed to know that it will go faulty months later? There's absolutely no way they can tell about this, even if they open it and test it before selling it. And they don't open them up. I would actually stop buying from them if they opened them before selling them.

    This is ridiculous.

    CPL and MSY, as well as all other retailers, source their products from the same supplier. A chance of a CPL component being DOA and a chance of an MSY product being DOA are exactly the same.

    Your GPU and PSU which died are not CPL's fault.

    Yes, their service might be crap, that's fine if you want to talk about that, but your DOA products are not their fault.

        I wouldn't call providing anecdotal evidence proving a point. I've bought from both CPL and MSY, and I haven't had any issues with either so far. Even if I had, I am a sample of one person with a tiny amount of purchases and my bad experience wouldn't be enough to suggest that others don't buy from the company.

        I agree it is statistically insurmountable that three people could all be from the second largest city in the country, so you will be glad to know I now live in Perth and I am yet to update my location.

        I don't think you understood paulsterio's comment about DOA products. If you buy the same gpu from MSY or CPL they have just as much chance as being DOA as each other. It's not the retailer's fault that they were DOA, but yes they are the one responsible for replacing/refunding you.

        There are millions more complaints about MSY than there are about CPL - why?
        Well for one thing, MSY sell a hell of a lot more computer gear. But it might also be because MSY's RMA service sucks ass at least as bad as CPL's.

        But that doesn't substantiate your claim of "chinese made product", if you buy a Gigabyte GPU, regardless of whether you buy it at MSY or CPL, or even anywhere else in the world, it comes from the same same factory, with the same quality control.

        What you're saying is completely stupid. Which is why I think you should go back to high school. You've just had BAD LUCK with CPL and GOOD LUCK with MSY, that's all. It doesn't mean that CPL stocks "cheap chinese stuff" and MSY don't.

        Also, no I am not a retailer, but common sense would dictate that all of this stuff comes from the same factory. If you have cause to believe that CPL gets lower quality stuff (e.g. factory seconds) whilst MSY gets the better stuff, then you should provide evidence stating so.

        I completely agree if you have an issue with CPL's customer service, but that is another issue, the stuff CPL sells you comes from the same factories as the stuff MSY or any other retailer around the world does.

        And no, I don't work for CPL, I'm not a retailer, but I have been buying PC parts for many, many years as well as having bought from both MSY and CPL before.

        That's besides the point…

        "2. Few components broke DOA, is fine since there was extra cables to reuse and another PCI e slot.

        I only mention this because it is one of the frustration leading towards the accumulative bad services from CPL."

        I have bad experiences with MSY too, but from the gathered feedback and experience, CPL is worse.

        So now who is the one whos "completely stupid" for missing the point?

        "4. GPU died, faulty geforce that wasn't tested at build.

        was I blaming them it was DOA? did I say GPU DOA?"

        Yes, because that is how the supply chain works. In fact, I'm not sure about Gigabyte products, but I am sure about Intel products.

        There is an Intel supplier who imports the Intel CPUs into Australia. The stores, such as MSY, CPL…etc. all place orders from that supplier which they then sell to you. So even though CPL and MSY are different stores, they are buying their products from the same place, i.e. the local supplier. Do you think the supplier would give MSY the good stuff and CPL the crap stuff? That doesn't make any sense.

        Logically, what you're saying is quite stupid. It's like saying I'll buy a brand new Toyota from dealer A because I think it will be more reliable than if I buy it from dealer B, even though both cars came from the same production line.

        At the end of the day, the actual storefront is only the end of the supply chain all the way from the component manufacturers, to the assembly plants, to the suppliers and everything in between. All of these products are made for export worldwide, the scale of production is such that MSY and CPL's stock are quite insignificantly small, so small that it would make no sense for them to have different factories to cater to MSY and CPL, they're all the same as stock sold everywhere around the world.

        Yes you were, you were saying that a few components were DOA and that the GPU was DOA as well. Either way, you weren't clear with what you were saying, instead of just getting uptight about it, you should clarify what you are saying rather than putting the onus on the reader.

    MWave use to do really cheap deals, their customer service is not so bad, nice staff who will help, and you get what you paid for. really. something that works and they will exchange on the spot if it doesn't, so called DOA.

    TXComputers (Auburb, Sydney) or DIY (Auburn, Sydney), slightly pricier (marginally $2-$20) , but wow do they do NORMAL business, just like proper normal retailers are suppose to be obligated to do.

    Here's some reference for critics: coming from experience, opinions, use to work at a PC store at north rocks and of course our forum buddies.

      I can't believe it's taken about 6 people, speaking plain English and not resorting to infantile ad hominems, to get to you understand what you said was wrong.

      You went from claiming CPL ship more DOA products than other vendors (yes Taiwan sends them all the defective factory batches for a discount; you friggin' Genius Dnkei, you've busted the most diabolical conspiracy ever to face consumer electronics) to now alleging CPL actually receive DOA products, test them to ensure they are DOA and then ship them out to people anyway knowing full-well they don't work.

      PC Hardware vendors do not open a box unless it's going into a new build, period.

      You have no clue what you are talking about.

      You've jumped onto the bandwagon because you saw that post from last year by that absolute cretin who accidentally damaged his own custom PC from CPL himself and then tried to claim it was damaged during transit and forced CPL's hand into replacing it by unleashing a torrent of unadulterated whinging and butthurt on OzBargain; like the rest of the lemmings on here.

      I probably buy in a month, the amount of computer hardware you go through in a year. You have no basis for this bullsh*t.
      Someone has to get the duds, how CPL handle the RMA process is what reflects on them. The duds themselves, do not.

      Disclosure: Yes I work for the Shadow Government, Ministry of It's Not a Big Truck, ROFLCopter Department and I'm here to swindle t3h sheeplez out of their hard-earned money (Operation CPL-is-a-front-for-the-Chinese-getting-rid-of-unwanted-electronics-Waste) here's my card.

        I don't understand you and the other repliers thinking.
        Half of you are putting words into other people's mouth.

        "alleging CPL actually receive DOA products, test them to ensure they are DOA and then ship them out to people anyway knowing full-well they don't work."
        - nope

        "You've jumped onto the bandwagon because you saw that post from last year by that absolute cretin who accidentally damaged his own custom PC from CPL himself and then tried to claim it was damaged during transit and forced CPL's hand into replacing it by unleashing a torrent of unadulterated whinging and butthurt on OzBargain; like the rest of the lemmings on here."
        - nope didnt point that out, open your eyes and read who posted it, I didn't reference that.

        "I probably buy in a month, the amount of computer hardware you go through in a year. You have no basis for this bullsh*t.
        Someone has to get the duds, how CPL handle the RMA process is what reflects on them. The duds themselves, do not."
        - and your point?

        "I can't believe it's taken about 6 people, speaking plain English and not resorting to infantile ad hominems, to get to you understand what you said was wrong."
        - Yes, 7 including you, I really don't understand why you are still referring to DOA when my whole statement reflected how poor their services are and how they deal with their products to us.

        How idiotic are you amar and the other 6? thought ozbargainers are better than this, giving into this load of crap that you call service and keep buying from them.

        I guess I'm not idiotic enough to drop my own PC to death and moan to a company to replace it for me. Or to listen to the hearsay of some guy with a real hard-on for CPL, calling other people biased.

        If you yourself experienced some rough handling during transit in the first 9 months of your life, that may explain a few things, otherwise I'm lost for words at how apocalyptically silly you've been.

      I am curious, which computer store in North Rocks did Dnkei work at and roughly when.

      I know the area well and I know the computer shops and their owners pretty well…

    I heard once from someone that used to go to school with a guy who uses ozbargain that that's not an valid reason to neg.

  Worth noting the following things about the Ozbargainer who made the dubious complaint against CPL:

  • Claimed that the items received were damaged. Nobody else made this complaint.
  • Claimed that the items were poorly packed. Nobody else made this complaint.
  • Claimed that the PC was not built properly with parts falling out. Nobody else made this complaint.
  • Requested that all parts of the PC built (not just the broken ones) be exchanged for new parts.
  • Said openly that they accepted CPLs apology and said they were satisfied with the outcome, and there was no bad blood.
  • has upvoted every single post that downvotes CPL since the incident occurred. including all downvotes in this thread.
  • Admitted towards the end of the thread that the damage may not have been CPLs fault at all and that it looks like damage did occur during transit.
    Heres the Quote:
    "I did not notice this right away as it is rather small. However, styro foam in the surrounding area has a small dent, which is also not noticeable right away. This slight indentation in the styro foam is also consistent to the damage to the case."

  Before jumping on a bandwagon, it's worth checking out who the driver is.

  Thats a really good price, would be perfect if you customize it just a tad

  chid on 09/04/2014 - 19:55

  looks like a good deal, holding out for a better one from CPL!

  that said, I am also looking for one without OS for a cheaper price. Linux :)
