snoopydoop on Air China: Rome Return Melbourne $886, Sydney $922. Istanbul Return Melb. $861 (EXPIRED), SYD $894 (EXPIRED) via Beijing @ IWTF

You just get a 24-hour visa when you land - they just look at your boarding pass and stamp it. You have to stay in the airport though.

As somebody who recently flew to Rome through Beijing using Air China - the flight itself was great (it was very good to leave Sydney in…

jollster101 on [Refurbished] Dell Optiplex 9020 SFF Desktop PC Core i5 4570 8GB Ram 128GB SSD Win 10 $242.25 Delivered @ Adelaidepcservices eBa

You probably can't put it in a different case - the motherboard is not a standard size, so you'd need to drill your own holes for the…

netsurfer on AmazonBasics Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter $8.48 (Was $29.88) + Delivery (Free with Prime/ $49 Spend) @ Amazon AU

Weird flex, but okay. This doesn't change the fact that something like 90% of monitors in use today are 1080p.

Kontiki on [Refurbished] Dell Optiplex 9020 SFF i5-4570 3.20GHz 8GB 500Gb HDD Win10 $261, 9010 i3/8/320 $143 Delivered @ Bneacttrader eBay

Has 4 slots, so 32 GB.

These should all connect in Hong Kong with layovers of 2 to 10 hours or so, maybe longer, but I am not sure.

Yes, you basically get 70-80% of the performance for roughly 70% of the price.

webtonmoy on Microsoft Surface Book (128GB, i5, 8GB RAM) $999.19 with Free Delivery (HK) @ Dick Smith / Kogan on eBay

If you order and pay for it before 1 July you won't pay GST. At least that's what it says on ATO website.

There are some speed and precision benefits, but a mouse pad is more comfortable and doesn't wear the mouse feet as much as well as your…

zfcwjc on Samsung Galaxy Note 8 from $796, Galaxy S8+ from $676, S8 from $628 Delivered (HK) @ amaysim eBay (Dual Sim) + 2yr Warranty

A good reminder, but it's the date of payment and not the date of the goods arriving in Australia that matters. At least that's what ATO…

chatman on Xiaomi Power Strip 6-Outlets + 3 USB Ports $13.97 USD (~ $18.45 AUD) Delivered @ DD4

It looks like it's Chinese, which is just an upside down AU plug.

Jamesx on Dell Inspiron 13 5000 2-in-1 (i3-7100U, 4GB, 256GB) $664.05 Delivered @ Microsoft eBay

Looks like it's as easy as removing half a dozen screws and popping it in. Should be a 5 minute job.

Which is exactly right for these systems. It would be cutting a bit close if you started overclocking and stuff, but at stock clocks it's…

Steptoe on SanDisk CZ73 32GB Ultra Flair USB 3.0 Flash Drive (up to 150MB/s) $9.22 US ($11.64 AU) Shipped @ Gamiss

That looks like a typo tbh. If you look an amazon, they say that it is 15 times faster than a typical USB 2.0 drive, but most people in…

They are compact (both plug and board itself) and look quite slick, but that's about it in my opinion.

Yeah, except for the fact that you could save around $100 by buying the Dell one and putting a 1050Ti in it yourself. 4770 is slightly…

All three of them would be decent with a 1050 but deciding which one out of the three is a tough one. The 4770 one is pretty much good to…

Got a call from TCG and delivery scheduled for tomorrow already. Thought would have to wait for at least a week or two.

Bought a 9010 SFF the last time it was posted. Just FYI: even though it has a VGA and 2 DPs, it won't run 3 monitors despite what numerous…
