    It is.
    I don't work for them if that's what you mean??
    I've been looking for a built system for a while, these guys had some good offers but the extra %10 off seemed to push them into the "bargain" area

    Just online stores like nirv and netplus, the ones google came up with. Never heard of Umart, I'm in Adelaide.

    I just used their online order custom config and it gave me $1514 ( but I couldn't find the PSU you used on the list so I went for the Antec 550 bp) but your $1329 sounds excellent (I guess that includes being built).
    The only difference is:
    postage to SA??
    3 year warranty
    $50 gift card.

    I couldn't find the postage area on Umart. But I guess around $80? Plus warranty another $84 (although that is for onsite) and add $50 to make it fair, comes to $1543 compared to $1478.
    I'm sure some systems will work out differently depending on parts prices, guess it's up to the buyer to make sure they shop around.

    Maybe I should update description "So for anyone looking at getting a new box who doesn’t live close to an MSY store, or a Umart" :)

  The deal is meh.

  I guess it would appeal to those that like to tweak a system, but don't want to get their hands dirty.
  Most people that know what they want in a desktop anyway, probably can build it themselves.

  I know I'm getting lazy now-a-days, so it probably appeals to me.

  If it was a difference of less than $50 from getting from a local store, then I'd definitely jump on this.

  Since Adelaide only has a few stores to shop, this deal may be considerable. But ibuypower.com.au doesn't make any senses to ppl who love building pc like me because this store is just like Adelaide, only has a few parts to pick and almost of them are at entry lvl.
