For a while there they were on par with msy for price.
Indeed. I still have store credit due to some warranty returns, but they rarely have anything worthwhile using it on.
My last purchase was http://www.centrecom.com.au/roccat-alumic-hard-mousepad to replace my worn eXactMat purely because I had credit, I think it was marginally cheaper (inc delivery) elsewhere :/
I've shopped at their Hawthorn store for years… It's nearly always been a bit more expensive than MSY, but it was more convenient for me and I've never had a problem with them…
Hard drives are cheap there
I just noticed they're banned for sock-puppeting, oops.
Yes, I have personal experience with their alleged unethical behaviour as a former employee. Not surprised they're banned on here.
Please explain!
Im going to guess jacking up the RRP 25%, then saying 20% off like it's a good deal.
Their Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming ($459/509) isn't bad or maybe an Intel i7 5820K for $469.
Most of their prices are pretty competitive so you could easily add up $500 if you're planning a rig.
That's actually the first one I checked, but it's $479 elsewhere and $509 at Centrecom, making the $50 discount kind of moot (and not meeting the min spend if one requires nothing further).
Amusingly this sale ends ~one day before AMD 300 series is 'released' at E3 - http://wccftech.com/amd-radeon-300-series-arriving-retailers…
That's actually the first one I checked, but it's $479 elsewhere and $509 at Centrecom,
The first entry from staticice is actually $527 if you click through it.

Anyone know if this is good for the price…

Desktop PC, Intel Core i5-4460(3.1GHz) - 8GB RAM - 1TB HDD - DVDRW - No Operating System
$449 plus shipping when you add an item worth $1 or more to your cart.
Not really. Plus no operating system (although Reddit has those for ~$20).
For considerably more fun - https://www.jbhifi.com.au/computers-tablets/desktops/alienwa… (also has benefits of less power usage and being much smaller, and includes an Xbox 360 controller).
(Apparently clearance now that the 'steam machine' version is being produced, was previously $559 after 20% eBay).
Would just be using it for a home pc. Have a windows disc/code, so that wouldn't be an issue. But if it's not a good price at $449 plus shipping, then that's good to know.
Depends what you are planning on doing with it..

@Lukian:
That things weaker than a Bay Trail system. It'll quickly bog down if you do more than one thing at a time.
Save your money and get an i-3 cpu
CPU: i5 4460 $250
Mobo: H81 $60
RAM: 8GB 1600MHz $80
HDD: 1TB $65
ODD: DVD Drive $20
Case+PSU: $50 (You'd probably want to replace if you want a GPU)
The Centrecom adds up to around $525.
The Alienware adds up to around $450 with standard parts.
Shipping is around $30 for a system but there's also a 1% credit card/paypal fee so it's probably only a good deal if you can pick it up.
did you include the gtx 750ti that the alienware alpha has?
@ryudo222:
Ah, I thought I missed something. It's around $550~600 then but probably not much you could upgrade in that system.
@silent1: I don't think you are quite aware how small the form factor is (which would technically increase case cost!), also it's 750Ti equivalent, it's actually a modification of the 860M.
@Lukian:
I do understand it's around 1/10 the size of the Centrecom system but I just gave the equivalent price if size wasn't an issue.

This would come to $515, cheapest according to static ice is ~$550+.
Edit: They've changed postage prices from their fixed $7.2/$9… It's now about $18 for where I live. Keep that in mind.
Also this is preorder.
Can you suggest any bargains because just about everything there can be found cheaper elsewhere….
