Hi all,

I found a low price for a 3070ti at Online Computing for $899. I was going to pull the trigger on this myself but as I was posting the deal a message came up saying this business was banned from having deals posted.

Does anyone know why? Are they dodgy? I won't buy from them if so.

    Yep - so I'm sweet to post the deal - their reps just can't?

  FYI you can get a 3 fan leadtek one for $50 more here - https://www.bpctech.com.au/catalog/product/view/id/72914/ - has free shipping too.

  Worth posting a deal but I wouldn't pull the trigger IMO, the one I linked to above was $849 two weeks ago. And the 3080 is so much better than the 3070ti.

  I suggest deodorant for odering.
