Ben1985 commented on nbn 100/20 $69/Month, 100/40 $73/Month, 250/25 $79/Month, 1000/50 $89/Month for 12 Months (New Customers Only) @ Superloop
I churned my FTTP service from Leaptel to Superloop at 11:40PM last night and the service was active within 40 minutes. The whole process…
Ben1985 commented on Reolink 8ch 2TB NVR + 4x 8MP Cams $378.02 or 4x 5MP Cams $274.10 @ AliExpress Reolink Official Store
Fingers crossed there will be an equivalent deal for Black Friday. Would I be stupid purchasing these now if I don't need them for another…
Ben1985 commented on [eBay Plus] Dyson Airwrap Volume + Shape Long Edition $579 Delivered @ Dyson eBay
Great deal (relatively speaking). I was waiting for the 'Origin' edition to go on sale for approximately $474 (which was the previous ATL),…
Ben1985 commented on Meta Quest 3 512GB + Batman: Arkham Shadow $799.99 Delivered / Quest 3S 128GB + Arkham Shadow $499.99 @ Amazon AU
I've previously purchased both the Quest 1 and Quest 2, but sold both a while ago. I recall the experience with the Quest 2 being a bit…
Ben1985 replied to yeb123 on $11.88 Cashback on Boost 25GB / 35GB 28-Day Prepaid SIM for $12 / $15 (70GB / 90GB at Activation) @ TopCashback AU
Thanks for that. I believe I have an unused Amaysim somewhere, so hopefully that can be temporarily activated instead. Doesn't look like…
Ben1985 replied to Kazusa on Apple MacBook Air M2 13.6" 8GB RAM 256GB SSD $1248 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ In-Store) + 10% Back in HN Gift Cards @ Harvey Norman
Clearly no virtualisation subjects!
Ben1985 commented on $11.88 Cashback on Boost 25GB / 35GB 28-Day Prepaid SIM for $12 / $15 (70GB / 90GB at Activation) @ TopCashback AU
I impulse purchased this, but perhaps should have thought about it for a minute. My intention for purchasing it was to temporarily port my…
Ben1985 commented on Free Boss Suntory Rainbow 179ml w/ Any $4.50 Boss Coffee 237ml Purchase @ 7-Eleven (via Apps)
Visited the local 7-Eleven. "Do you have the rainbow boss?" "No." "So, you can't do the promo?" "No." The other flavours were completely…
Ben1985 replied to happyfeat on [SUBS, XSX, XB1] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III Coming to Game Pass @ Microsoft
Fingers crossed it changes in the future, but in its current state XDefiant is garbo. The netcode is equivalent to Battlefield 3/4 at its…
Ben1985 replied to maxdba on aiwa 15.6" Touchscreen Portable Monitor $169 Delivered / C&C/ In-Store @ BIG W
Unfortunately, the only Apple device I have on hand is an iPhone 12 Mini, which doesn't even support video output without an additional…
Ben1985 commented on [Refurb] Apple MacBook Air 13" M2 256GB Renewed (Midnight 2022) $899 + Delivery Only @ JB Hi-Fi
I can't look at used laptops (specifically, MacBooks) the same after the repair video by Louis Rossmann where a customer had somehow…
Ben1985 commented on [Prime] Elgato Multi Mount S - Desk Clamp with Pole Extends $25 Delivered (RRP $79) @ Amazon AU
Looks to be out of stock already... Edit: apologies, it was unavailable for my delivery location, but adding it to the cart with an…
Ordered. I've tried a sit-stand stool from OfficeWorks prior but wasn't overly impressed. Fingers crossed this one is better quality.
I'm all for supporting smaller businesses, and I purchased quite a few tubs during the last sale at Coles to assess whether it could…
I purchased two of these, so happy to perform some testing and answer any questions once they arrive. Certainly not as cheap as the other…
I've been reading the Steam product pages, reviews, etc. for the last 30 minutes and am still no closer to understanding what I should…
Ben1985 replied to OnTheMark on Lexar NM790 4TB M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4×4 NVMe SSD with Heatsink $299 Delivered / MEL C&C @ Metrocom
This happened for me on the initial payment attempt as well. However, it worked OK on the subsequent payment attempt, and didn't double…
Ben1985 commented on AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU + MSI PRO B650M-A mATX Motherboard $703.20 ($685.62 eBay Plus Members) @ smarthomestoreau eBay
*Very* tempting, but lacking the motivation to reassemble my PC. The i5-12600K will suffice for a bit longer, even though I know it's…
Ben1985 replied to Woody982 on Lexar NM790 4TB M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4×4 NVMe SSD with Heatsink $299 Delivered / MEL C&C @ Metrocom
I don't have the items in hand at this stage, but I ordered on Saturday evening and it was processed and posted by Monday afternoon (their…
Ben1985 replied to discountseeker on WD Black SN770 2TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD $180.59 Delivered @ Amazon Germany via Amazon AU
It's lower than the recommended read performance (i.e., 5,500MB/s), but it would still be compatible. [See…
Ben1985 replied to lordra on WD Black SN770 2TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD $180.59 Delivered @ Amazon Germany via Amazon AU
I think what you think is going to happen (i.e., Lexar NM790 4TB with heatsink for sub $300 each), has already happened but not with the…
BPC Technology has now increased the price from $319 to $349 for the Lexar NM790 4TB *without* the heatsink, and decreased the price to…
The cheapest I can find thus far is $319 for the Lexar NM790 4TB *without* the heatsink from BPC Technology. Presumably, this is unrelated…
Just ordered 15 tubs, so hopefully Coles has them in stock and they're somewhat comparable to Halo Top (or worst case, Kenny's).
Ben1985 commented on Amazon: 15% Cashback on All Categories (Capped at $30 per Member, 6:30am-11:59pm AEDT Friday 24th November) @ TopCashback AU
I made the mistake of already adding the item to my Amazon cart, closing the webpage, and then clicking through via TopCashback and…

I recently purchased one of these, but with the IPS panel. Be aware that the combination of the OLED panel and touchscreen digitiser will…
Perhaps digiDirect will be more incentivised to provide decent customer service with eBay sales, but I honestly can't recommend them after…
Ben1985 commented on nbn FTTN/FTTC to FTTP Upgrade & Plan (Select Locations): 250/25 $79/M, 1000/50 $89/M for 12 Months @ Leaptel
I've placed an order to switch the FTTP service from Tangerine to Leaptel later in the month. Presuming the correct UNI-D port has been…
I was hoping to purchase the Ozito PXBSDMK-4182 (I/N: 0244221) for $399 after I accidentally (and catastrophically) bent the blade on my…
Ben1985 commented on Gigabyte B760 DS3H AX D4 LGA 1700 ATX Motherboard $209 + Delivery ($0 C&C) @ Umart / MSY
This actually seemed like a really good deal until Mwave listed their 'Click Frenzy' promotions. Hard to beat a Gigabyte B760 Aorus Master…
