Brick50 on [NSW, QLD, SA, VIC] $500 Bill Credit ($250 Gas, $250 Electricity) @ ENGIE

I plugged the rates into a spreadsheet to compare against the $375 (with referral) offer from Powershop and it looks like most people will…

Well, I edited it last night to reflect the change but it's been changed back and locked for some reason.

Oh, interesting. It was free delivery at the time. I didn't get charged delivery for my order.

Would you be able to point me in the direction of a guide or something to do this with?

Yep, upgrading my NAS from 6TB to ~30TB with these. Using it as a Plex server for high quality films and TV shows as well as a back-up of…

You can get PCIe expansion cards that give you more ports. I tried looking into that when I was originally thinking of doing my new NAS…

They do seem to be becoming rarer. Just looking at the datasheets for Seagate and WD's consumer line-ups for example, only their 500GB and…

RogueWolf on 20% off Blaupunkt UHD TVs 75” $1036, 70” $769, 65” $636 + Delivery ($0 C&C) @ JB Hi-Fi

How are the S8s? I've seen people recommending the Q8 but not much about the lower end S8.

Don't know much about this budget brand but haven't seen too many awful things either. Also I don't know how Linux OS fares. If it's a good…

Damn. I waited too long.

If it does, since it's from a shop I would imagine you could return it if necessary.

anamul on EKO 55" Frameless QLED 4K TV $349, EKO 65" 4K Ultra HD TV $679 @ Big W

What were your gripes with the picture quality? I've read that people recommend turning off all enhancements (which I would do anyway) and…

Cheap EKO TVs at Big W. Doesn't appear to have any instore stock so delivery only as far as I can tell. Frameless QLED seems to be the best…

There's this one from D-Link that's $99. https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/networking/modems-&-routers/86975-dir-1750 Seems to be a…

Honestly, I can't wait in the sense that I need a router of any sort now as this will be the first time I haven't been in a sharehouse…

I'm moving to a place that has FTTP and I'm getting a 1000/50 plan. To be honest, my Desktop will be wired and hopefully the TV will be too…

Price for price then, are you better off getting an ac router over one like this?

Seems to be a good deal on an entry level WiFi 6 router if anyone's thinking of upgrading. Edit 30/3: Available again, no code required…

Is that under load or at idle? I've heard things about this laptop running hot even at idle.

Mm, the problem is that's only available in 15" and I find I really prefer a 17" display. There's just not a great many options out there.

If you let me know your use case, I could possibly recommend something. It does seem like this is not the laptop to get unless you're very…

I'm tossing up. I could get more power for the same money with the Apex 17R Lite but until Adobe supports NVDEC, having the ability to work…

I just got off a chat with Dell asking about price matching and they sent a quote over for $700 more than what I could get on eBay from…

Does anyone know when this sale finishes? I'm waiting on a particular review of a competing product and don't want to miss this if I decide…

Definitely tempted by the G7. I really like the design of it but I've heard bad things about the thermals. Not that interested in gaming…
