    • AssociatedCorwin Tse @ gold-rabbit.com on 07/07/2011 - 18:33

      Hi spliniter,

      We spec our computers according to Windows Experience Index. We think it's more representative of what kind of speed and Windows experience you can get and eases comparison across brands.

      • leiiv on 07/07/2011 - 18:40

        Well, not everyone wants to use Windows.

        • AssociatedCorwin Tse @ gold-rabbit.com on 07/07/2011 - 18:53

          Hi leiiv,

          We supply our customers with Linux operating systems. We offer you a choice.

      • scrimshaw on 07/07/2011 - 18:48

        You know the WEI index is very inaccurate right? If you wanted to test performance you should use more professional tools like CineBench or 3DmarkVantage (either basic or premium version).

        • AssociatedCorwin Tse @ gold-rabbit.com on 07/07/2011 - 19:21

          Hi scrimshaw,

          When tested properly, results from Windows Experience Index are accurate and repeatable, taking into account margin of error. But we will consider and thank you for your suggestion.

    I call straight out advertising.

    ANd not enough info about the system apart from it being great that it's "Gold Class"

    • AssociatedCorwin Tse @ gold-rabbit.com on 07/07/2011 - 18:40

      Hi shmahoo,

      We're sorry that we disappointed you. Our specs our computers with Windows Experience Index, but here's an example of what you'll get. We think WEI is more meaningful than hardware names.

      Gold Class with DVD
      - Level 6 performance - 2nd highest
      - Base score: 6.3
      - Processor subscore: 6.3 - AMD Athlon II X2 255
      - Memory (RAM) subscore: 6.3 - 4GB DDR3 memory
      - Graphics subscore: 7.3 - AMD Radeon HD 6770
      - Gaming graphics subscore: 7.3 AMD Radeon HD 6770
      - Primary hard disk subscore: 7.4 - Intel X25-M SSD + 1.8TB usable HDD

      Gold Class with Blu-ray
      - Level 7 performance - highest possible
      - Base score: 7.3
      - Processor subscore: 7.3 - AMD Phenom II X4 840
      - Memory (RAM) subscore: 7.3 - 4GB DDR3 memory
      - Graphics subscore: 7.8 - AMD Radeon HD 6870
      - Gaming graphics subscore: 7.8 - AMD Radeon HD 6870
      - Primary hard disk subscore: 7.4 - Intel X25-M SSD + 1.8TB usable HDD

  • Trance N Dance on 07/07/2011 - 18:23

    Absolutely meaningless if the specs of the machine isn't listed. There is nothing to compare to for it to be considered a bargain, and getting 7 on Windows Experience isn't that hard now days.

    Processor and RAM at 6.3 is pretty crap….
    My Q9550 even manages a 7.2 on stock with DDRII ram scoring 7.2.

    I just don't know why I'm gettting a 5.9 on hard drive though…
    I am running 500GB Caviar Black that's just under 50% full.

    • ozdavo on 07/07/2011 - 18:42

      5.9 is about the best you will get with a spinning hdd. Need to get SSD for higher.

    • AssociatedCorwin Tse @ gold-rabbit.com on 07/07/2011 - 18:50

      Hi Trance,

      What we do differently than other manufacturers is to care for all-round performance, which is reflected in the base score in Windows Experience Index. We don't neglect gaming graphics performance (7.2 and 7.8 in WEI) which is often lacking in Windows Media Center PCs which would otherwise unbalance your computing experience.

      You will find base scores exceeding 5.9 to be dramatically faster than base scores of 5.9 and lower.

  • samfisher5986 on 07/07/2011 - 18:24

    Case is a Silverstone GD06B which costs $145

    I can't see anything special listed, if you add up the specs I am very sure it will be well under what the price is listed.

    So really, not a bargain.

    • AssociatedCorwin Tse @ gold-rabbit.com on 07/07/2011 - 18:56

      Hi samfisher5986,

      We selected this case because of the unique features it brings to the Windows Media Center experience, such as hot-plugging internal hard disk drives. You can add more TV recording time without having to shut down your computer.

      • samfisher5986 on 07/07/2011 - 19:00

        Its a nice case, but your computer costs more then at www.umart.com.au

        So why buy from you when Umart is a trusted computer shop?

        Repost your bargain when you are the cheapest in Australia.

          Wow, clearly you are NOT a geek.

          xbox specs are not relevant, as there is only one option and it can run everything possible.

          Just because a regular person doesn't understand specs, it doensn't mean they should buy a celeron for $2000.

          Even when you buy a car, specs are important, a 1L engine car easily doesn't have enough power for many people.

          If you are not a geek, you should get help from a geek

      You can use your Xbox Live account and use your Gamertag, Gamerscore, Friends List on Windows. And these games work with supplied Xbox 360 Wireless Controller, showing the Xbox 360 controller button and layout on screen menus.

  • samfisher5986 on 07/07/2011 - 19:32

    Rep has not come up with a counter to UMART ONLINE and many other computer shops offering a better price.

    As a result I am voting negative for the price, as mentioned in my earlier posts.

    Rep: I suggest you change your price to be the best in Australia then repost
    If you can not do that, then you shouldn't be posting on a BARGAIN website.

    I will revoke my negative if you can change your prices to be a bargain.

  • samfisher5986 on 07/07/2011 - 19:39

    PainToad, JepunK and anyone else

    Would you lend $2000 to a stranger if they said they would pay you back later?

    No.

    Then why would you give $1800 to a computer shop with no history and no legal obligation to give you proper warranty service after 12 months, and no legal obligation to give you anything if their business closes tommorow.

    Anyone recommending this is crazy.

      how do you think michael dell got started? or hewllet packard, or apple

      when they all started, they were just "system" builders that chucked parts together in their garage and sold it to lesser capable people

      do you think prior to their r&d days they were anymore justified to price huge margins?

      understandably his pricing is inflated, but i see no sense in having a go at someone putting an effort in to start a busiess.
      instead of being borderline abusive and pretentious, maybe give suggestions for improvement not harsh criticisms

      i agree with your arguments on many fronts, but i dont like how you are handling it.
      every business has to start somewhere, where is he going to get the "years of credibikity" if he doesnt start today?

      and not everyone can be bothered to shop around and build a comp. factor in added warranty, overhead costs, labour and profit margin. his pricing no longer becomes That inflated.

      in regards to using parts that you can buy urselfand not listing it, do you think brands like origin tell you that they use corsair cases and asus mobos?
      however, i do see the neccesity to list power and performance specs of the parts, just not detailed names. apple doesnt tell you that theyre using kingsto ram, hitatchi hdds, samsung ssds, intel cpus, nvidia gfx. they just tell you the performance and that they "created" the machine.

      that being said, Corwin, my suggestion to you is to actually edit your post to show fullspecs and not just replyto comments. also rethink your business idea and level of proffessional appearance and most importantly, demonstrate why this is a BARGAIN

        1. He does not list specifications on his website, even Harvey Norman does this.
        2. His business is brand new and is not registered for GST
        3. Ozbargain could buy 10 computers, he could take the money and leave the country tomorrow with our money.

        Michael Dell did not start his business like this.

          Hi samfisher5986,

          I would like to relieve some of your concerns.

          1. Our specs are Windows Experience Index scores. The benefit of this is that it means more to consumers than component model numbers.
          2. Your consumer rights under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 are the same, whether we are new or not.
          3. As we are a registered business in Australia, you have rights under that situation to recover your loss.

          1. That's not specifications. That's benchmark scores. These are not the same things.
          2. He is not contending otherwise. The Act is irrelevant to his point.
          3. In a civil court. If the accused appears. If you have sufficient evidence of it. etc. There was a case of a Brisbane store a few years back, actual bricks and mortar, that got away with tens of thousands of dollars of paid back orders then the dude skipped the country. I don't assume you are this kind of operator, but an ABR means very little.

        Hi furythree,

        Thank you for your support.

        At first I didn't want to make the post too long with the spec list. But we've heard you and updated the post to show more detailed specs.

  • furatallos on 07/07/2011 - 19:41

    Very dodgy. I have never given a negative before but this is really bad.

    • AssociatedCorwin Tse @ gold-rabbit.com on 07/07/2011 - 20:22

      Hi furatallos,

      We welcome critcism. Please let us know and we will take them into consideration.

    Will it run Crysis?

    • [Deactivated] on 07/07/2011 - 19:43

      Yes.

      Not as good as something else for that price would run Crysis though. Although the intention of this PC is a sort of HTPC/Console hybrid.

    • AssociatedCorwin Tse @ gold-rabbit.com on 07/07/2011 - 19:46

      Hi annoynimous,

      Crysis has a recommended Windows Experience Index requirement of 5.0.

      All Gold Class models exceed this, so you can play this game on Gold Class comfortably. And it works with the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller as well.

  • StewBalls on 07/07/2011 - 19:44

    I'm not seeing bargain here…just free advertising for a startup company on significantly overpriced machines with (as SamF said) effectively unenforceable promises of support! Not the spirit of OzB…hence neg!

    • AssociatedCorwin Tse @ gold-rabbit.com on 07/07/2011 - 19:54

      Hi StewBalls,

      We operate under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010, it protects your consumer rights on warranties.

      • StewBalls on 07/07/2011 - 20:01

        I'm sure you have the best of intentions, but business doesn't always follow the same paradigm! Many startup companies go belly-up for any number of reasons…especially (as with yours) when they've chosen a niche market. Then the CCA is worthless to warranty holders if you wind up the business & declare bankruptcy! ;)

        Corwin Tse, You have no idea what you are talking about.

        It does not protect your business going bankrupt, you leaving the country and never coming back, or anything after the 12 month period.

        It is very unlikely you will be around even in 12 months!

        YOU HAVE NO HISTORY AT ALL, you are just some guy on the street trying to sell a computer.

  • rawm on 07/07/2011 - 19:50

    I dont know guys, I reckon we give Corwin a break, he obviously posted this in good faith + self portrait avatar, so rather than attack him, all the DIY posters should take a deep breath and calm down.

    • [Deactivated] on 07/07/2011 - 20:13

      They're not attacking him personally.

      They're saying it's not a bargain. That's it. I don't think you think it is either, but for some reason you've decided not to vote that way or voice it. Which is fine, it has enough negs now that no-one but the more serious and experienced bargainers will see it.

      • samfisher5986 on 07/07/2011 - 20:17

        A good Rep would admit he is outdone on price and come back when he can do a better deal.

        Instead he is doing dodgy salesmen technique and attempting to sell it anyway.

        • leiiv on 08/07/2011 - 10:33

          I don't think he has any sot of capability to cut down the price cheaper than competitor without losing money.

      • StewBalls on 07/07/2011 - 20:19

        Precisely, I'm sure we all wish Corwin all the best for his business. However, he seriously needs to sit down & think about his marketing strategies & business model a little more before posting 'deals' on OzB; including not just using this site as free advertising. :)

  • kirt on 07/07/2011 - 19:53

      We're sorry that our offer comes off to you that way.

      A wall of spam is generally uncalled for. Even though the deal is trashy.

    I wouldn't touch it. I CAN'T see how this is a bargin, as others have already kindly pointed out. Neg from me!

    • AssociatedCorwin Tse @ gold-rabbit.com on 07/07/2011 - 20:34

      Hi Shippo-007,

      We'd appreciate it if you could give us some pointers on improving the website. = )

    maybe if it was built like this

    • samfisher5986 on 07/07/2011 - 20:18

      umart uses frames, you need to link to the framed page (right click in the right area) or it will just go to the front page.

    Holy crap… this isn't even TRYING to be a bargain.
    Rip-off…

  • Trance N Dance on 07/07/2011 - 22:10

    Since you're open to critism.
    WEI means jack all in this day and age. It's too easy to score above 7, even 3 year old gear can smash that barrier. When it comes to gaming you should be using benchmark scores and FPS from different new release games for comparisons. Recommended spec's for Crysis also means jack all. You'd be lucky to run that game on low settings with a computer scoring 5 across the board.

    In light of the specifications being revealed, this is no where near a bargain, considering the cost of individual parts available out there. Sure there should be a slight premium for pre-built computers but not to the margin of almost 40%! (With me being nice and saying his total cost is $1300).
    This is OzBargain, not free advertising, and I don't see any bargain here, not for anyone.

    • AssociatedCorwin Tse @ gold-rabbit.com on 07/07/2011 - 22:35

      Thanks Trance N Dance, we take your feedback seriously.

      With regards to Crysis, I was mainly assuring annoynimous that he could run Crysis on Gold Class.
