Frugalbargainator on Edifier 2.0 Bookshelf Bluetooth Studio Speakers: S1000MKII $299, R1855DB $179 + Del ($0 VIC/SYD/ADL C&C/ In-Store) @ Centre Com

Yes, I have the S1000W and use one of the RCA inputs with a turntable. Sound fantastic to me, even with a budget turntable. Audio is always…

Got the S1000W (same but with wifi capability) on boxing day, setup with the TV since. Great for the price, can fill a lounge room with…

This was really timely, thanks OP. Bought one for the lounge room.

Bruceflix on IT Dusters CompuCleaner 240V Electric Air Dusters: Original $72.25, Xpert $85 Delivered @ RGS Group AU via Amazon AU

Fair point, I thought it might be the only thing that can really break on the whole thing, other than any nozzles you attach. The fact it…

I have had the DataVac for about 8 years, cleaned hundreds of computers in that time. But haven't used both. Looking spec wise they should…

JTayzer on [Pre Order] Intel Arc B580 LE 12GB GDDR6 Graphics Card $439 Delivered ($0 MEL C&C) @ PC Case Gear

I don't think that A770 deal reception is that ridiculous, granted the B580 is getting a little much hype for what is essentially…

Everettpsycho on [Pre Order] Intel Arc B580 LE 12GB GDDR6 Graphics Card $439 Delivered ($0 MEL C&C) @ PC Case Gear

Good point and don't forget PCIe 4.0 x8, which is enough bandwidth for this GPU but if in an older board you will likely only have PCIe 3.0…

Low Punt on [Pre Order] Intel Arc B580 LE 12GB GDDR6 Graphics Card $439 Delivered ($0 MEL C&C) @ PC Case Gear

A770 is about 10-15% slower across all resolutions, even at 4K the 16GB isn't often advantageous over 12GB. When it is (4K raytracing in…

Vinodra on [PC, Steam] Baldur's Gate 3 $71.96, Digital Deluxe Edition DLC $11.60 @ Steam

AndrewMTG on Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 Gen 9 R7-8845HS, 32GB DDR5, 1TB SSD, 16" 2K OLED 400nits 120Hz, 76Wh Bat $1,285.53 @ Lenovo Education

It's 2048 x 1280, not x 1028. It's the exact same 16:10 ratio as the common 1920 x 1200 resolution found on 16" laptops but with a few more…

Yeah great for PC too. One of the best performing PCIe 4.0 drives around, the preinstalled heatsink is nice too.

Personally I spent a little more recently and got this Inno3D version for $900. Much beefier cooler and triple fan whilst still being very…

This is a decent deal, but just a heads up not to refer to Nitro 16 reviews for accurate information. This is the newer, cheaper, Nitro V…

Good initial impressions, thankyou for the writeup. Some of your issues with Jellyfin can certainly be fixed - paying $ for a static IP and…

Currently without some grey market keys I'm not aware of, or this method, full price is the only price going around. It's been on sale a…

Stoibs on [SUBS, XSX, XB1] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III Coming to Game Pass @ Microsoft

Cave Fire on Salomon Daintree Gore-Tex Mid Hiking Boots (Men & Women) $89.99 (Club Price, RRP $269.99) Delivered @ Anaconda

Legend, thankyou! Good timing as my old Merrel Moab boots were wearing out, so I'll give these a go at this price.

Same model and spec as the 8GB version they offered on that deal, but it was $164 delivered. Still, this is a decent price.

Doubt it, key will be tied to the motherboard and likely activated with HWID tying the hardware to Microsoft servers. You won't have a…

I agree, it's really slack of Amazon to have packed it like that for a long trip. I may end up returning them all before opening but also…

brentonlindeboom on [PC, Epic] Free - The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition @ Epic Games

I heard about this too and even on a fairly high end machine (7800X3D + 7900XT) I noticed it got laggy at 1440p. Couple things to note:…

Thanks, no problems really I'd be looking to buy a suitable fully sleeved cable so nice to know it'll work.

To clarify, I take it you'd need to purchase the 12VHPWR cable separately as it doesn't appear to be included?
