  • Normally how much is the delivery?

    • I think it was ~USD$6-11

      • So the ASUS Wi-Fi Router with Data Rates up to 1900 Mbps (RT-AC68W) USD120 seems is a good price.

        Around A$180 delivered, will there be a problem with the power adapter?

        • standard 5/12v

        • +1

          Nope. I have the AC68U (black version) from Amazon and it has been rock solid. Just need an international adapter.

        • @rapoot6:

          So the one came with it was not 240v and US plug?

        • +2

          @superforever: Those adapters are usually all 100 - 240v…. so you only need an adapter for the plug type.

        • @grang:

          This is what I thought but anyway I need a ADSL2+ modem/router instead which I have to buy it locally.

        • Was that really USD$120?
          Doesn't show in Camelx3 History

          I'm trying not to pay too much.

    What a great find!

    That 6tb hard drive looks decent…Need a couple as my 2tb are all getting full. Anyone use one that can comment on it?

    • +4

      According to this https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-reliability-q4-201… they are pretty good. Lower failure rate than Western Digital 6TB

      Bought 2 drives on the last deal. Would buy another but too broke. Fastest drive in my server. They run a little warmer than my WD but not as warm as my HGST. No cons as yet but would certainly hope not after only a month of use

  • 27" Acer G277HL went from $150 us to $218.50 + $75 s&h :(
    Dell 23" monitor wont ship to aus

  • I've been considering building a PC. (Sub $1000)

    Is that a good price for GTX 960? Should I get it?

    • If it's being built for gaming, it's probably worth while increasing your budget for a GTX 970. If it isn't, then tere aren't many cases where you would need to spend that sort of money on a GPU. $300 is the standard price for that specific card.

    • +2

      Yea it will be fine mate might be a little on the slower side but I think you could still max out battlefield 4 @ 60 fps. Games like Witcher you will have to turn the settings down but even if you bought the GTX970 that can't max out Witcher @ 1080p so basically nothing wrong with the card and you can always add another card later!
      Also check out the r9 380 around the same price but better performance.

    • +1

      The 960 is garbage. I paid ~$300 for an R9 280X two years ago that performs better. Agree with @aussieprepper, if you're looking in this price range for gaming then the R9 380 is a better buy, otherwise you can go upmarket with GTX 970 / R9 390.

    • +1

      I'm running a 4gb 960 and depending what game you want to play will dictate performance. I'm getting 60fps (ultra) in fallout 4 with minimal FPS drops. 60fps on ark (high) with minimal FPS drop. 60fps on thief with barely any FPS drop. I'm also running mine capped at 60fps using precision x, no point any higher with my monitor and saves heat on less intensive games. I've got my 960 paired with a 4.5ghz i5 6600k abd plenty of ram so the 960 is performing great for my requirements. Not everyone 'needs' a top tier gpu.

      • very much this, i also have a 960 Asus strix 2gb, does the job for all recent games, no good if you're going for Rift or Vibe. All depends on style of games you like if you're a mainly FPS gamer i'd say spend a bit more and get the 970.

      • Also, some games will eat up any vram you throw at it and will perform better. ie COD:Ghosts see me regularly @ 3.8 gig vram usage

  • Bah limit of 3 drives per customer.

    I need 5 of them, 4 to go in the microserver and one cold spare.

    Sigh.

      make a second account? The shipping will go up a bit with a 3 - 2 split order, but not by that much.

    Have a dead seagate hard drive. Never trust it anymore.

      Have a dead seagate hard drive. Never trust it anymore.

      Why would you trust any storage media?

      About time they had an advertising campaign to educate users - "if you don't backup your data you're a bloody idiot" - show some traumatic footage of crashed hard drives and users that are beside themselves with grief.

      • I understand what you mean. I did backup my staff. But I have three hard drives in my rig. Seagate was the newest one, Unfortunately also the first failed.

        • Grandalf.. Is that you? Staff..

    Tempted to bite at the Seagate HDD deal, but a bit hesitant because of warranty issues. How would you go about claiming on the warranty if the hard drive fails?

    Not too worried about DOA, as Amazon seem to be pretty good at sorting those problems out - but more concerned about failures after say 6 months.

      Contact Seagate as you normally do. The warranty terms and conditions state nothing about claiming warranty in another area.

    Bugger just gave in an ordered the 2x8GB kingston ram (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J8E8YZC?keywords=ingston…) and the GTX 960 video card above to replace a perfectly good GTX560TI for a ~60% performance lift (per my research)

    It seems at this price point the GTX 960 makes a lot more sense than the GTX970 (and given I still have a z68 extreme3 MB.

    Any advice what to do with the old graphics cards? I read somewhere use them as dedicated PHYSIX, but I'd rather not raid the poor PSU anymore (750 watt)

    • +1

      Nothing wrong with z68,a graphics card will not max out pci 2.0 only a very fast pci ssd hits a bandwidth issue. I have a gtx 970 and 2600k and run 3 monitors off out without issue (one a displayport 144hz panel) so you have nothing to worry about.

  • Has anyone ever had any issues with Amazon? I am considering the gfx card but it will be my first time buying off them. I don't want it coming dead on arrival or anything. Thanks

    • +1

      I purchased a GTX 970 through Amazon without any issues. They are one of the biggest online retailers in the world man, you don't have anything to worry about.

      • Cheers for the prompt response mate.

      • How is the warranty, will they send a box for us to pack it and get somebody to pick it up?

        • I don't know about expensive items, but we have had damaged books arrive and they sent us replacements and we were told to keep the original damaged ones. I can't imagine they'd do that with a graphics card, but it is a reflection of their approach to customer support.

        • @Smigit:

          I heard that before with people bought Kindle from them, you can return it for free.

  • Thanks OP!
    Picked up a cheap 256 GB hard drive for roughly +- $100 inc. Postage ^_^

  • Don't EVGA have local warranty, meaning if there is a problem with the card during its warranty period, you can RMA it locally instead of shipping it back to Amazon??

  • anyone know how the SSD 256 gig compares to the MSY offer?

    Transcend 256GB MLC SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5" Solid State Drive 370 US$68.87 (~AU$96)(amazon.com)

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/236623

    SanDisk SSD PLUS 240GB SATA 3 $94.00 @ MSY

    With shipping you'll end up paying around $10 more… which one is better?

  • wtf is the 6tb hdd sold out already?

    • +1

      Weird, I bought one this morning. Now it says 1 available but doesn't ship to Melbourne (I'm in Melb)……..maybe sold out or they realised too good a deal? lol………..

      Thanks op, never a fan of Seagate as I have had 2 die on me (could have just been unlucky) but looking at current reviews seems like a ok model so going to give it ago after only using WD over the past 8 or so years.

      • Yep same here. Bugga too slow.

        "Sorry, this item can't be shipped to your selected address. Learn more. You may either change the shipping address or delete the item from your order. You can also see if this item is available to ship to your address from another seller. "

        • Looks like they're now $199USD, so not where they were yesterday morning but much better than yesterday afternoon (~ 240-250USD). Might wait a bit more myself though.

    • +3

      Looks that way. Was going to order one at lunch.

  • 4tb @ ~$120 is pretty good.

  • Great buy on the SSD, $100.15 delivered. Grabbed one for the missus' crappy MacBook…
