Not sure why, but if I click through CTM and get an Everyday Insurance quote it comes out at $1400. If I go straight to Everyday Insurance…

Hopefully my final update. Monitor #3 came with no stuck pixels and acceptable backlight consistency. Shipped the other monitor back today.…

I'm very keen to hear how you went with this gamble. Did your unit arrive, and if so, how is it going?

I've just received monitor number 3 yesterday. Haven't installed it yet, but at this point I'm very sceptical that I'll actually get one…

Update to my saga: Returned the 2nd unit (2 stuck pixels). Kept using the original unit (1 stuck pixel) while I waited for Kogan support to…

Further update to mine. Plugged in the new monitor. And the green stuck pixel on the old one looks fine against the much brighter Red stuck…

Yep Kogan shipped me a new monitor and a return-postage label to send back the old one. New unit arrived this afternoon so I'll be checking…

You now cannot convince me that the Techfast business model isn't based on earning money from interest payments instead of PC build…

Still waiting :-( They got back to me really quickly asking for images and whether I wanted an exchange or refund. I opted for an exchange…

From the order confirmation email: "The estimated time from placing your order to dispatch is 10-14 business days". And that might have…

The upgrades aren't *supposed to* effect your position in the queue if your order is still in "Order Placed" status, but honestly only…

And now there is a guy posting in the original listing that his order was submitted at the same time as mine (2 hours after the deal was…

You ordered in the first hour and just received your pc? I ordered exactly 2 hours after the deal was posted. If the backlog delay scales…

Same. Exactly 4 weeks now, and the build is still sitting in "Order Placed" status despite supposedly having ordered on "On Hand" card. No…

Update to mine, which I've been using for a little under 2 weeks now. It has just developed a green stuck pixel in a central part of the…

Classic price error. Worth a try. Sometimes these gambles pay off and are honoured. Not this time though.

I went with the Kogan during the last $499 deal (which happens every few weeks) and I'm really impressed by it. Zero dead pixels or flaws…

Nice. Enjoy! Mine is still sitting in "Order Placed" (my order was submitted exactly 2 hours after the deal went live).

Ah dammit. I've stayed with the 240, but now you're making me second guess myself. It will look a bit small in the top of the C3. I'll see…

Look on the bright side: You're giving nVidia time to get the 50 series idiosyncrasies sorted in their drivers before we have to deal with…

I'm the same. I've now had a few messages and emails about my system which says it has progressed, but the Account Portal still has my…

Thanks OP. I've ordered one of the TechFast 5080 builds, and previously only had a 4K 60Hz monitor which wasn't going to cut it. I didn't…

Haha. Same. My last gaming PC was a GTX680 (eventually paired with another in SLI !!) mated to an Intel 4770K. I've been on consoles ever…

We had Docomo eSims from KKDAY (see my comment above) and we had 3 Disney days where we queued and had zero problems. Day 1 and day 3 were…

Given the insanity of the 50 series pricing in comparison to the performance gains I wouldn't hold my breath. Places like PCCG are now…

It's enough for basic browsing. It's slow, yes, but as long as you're not hitting your data cap every day it won't be an issue. We had 1GB…

KKDay had the best option I found. Docomo, 1GB per day with speed shaping to 384kbps after (so you’re never without data), under $1 per…

I'd be pursuing that under statutory warranty. I've had mine for about 12 months now, but if my $170 desk fan fails any time before the 2…

There will be 2 types of comments on this deal. The first is support for these fans and their quality. The second is obviously the top-tier…

I have used Sumatra for cold brew (drip, not infusion) and it worked well, but I preferred both Enterprise and Stargazer. Honestly I've…
