3HOUR30

Just got this in my mailbox. DealsDirect is running a 30% off site wide promotion tomorrow morning for 3 hours only, between 6AM and 9AM. Yes I need to read the email multiple times to make sure it's correct — certainly weird hours to run a promo I guess they are just trying to minimise the people taking up this offer. Pretty big discount though.

So absolutely no exclusions?

  Not from what I can see in the email. However, I am getting this info second handed (although a reliable first hand) so we'll see.

    Amazing if true but I'm finding it difficult to believe. Maybe they'll put up a special 'limited' selection for the 3 hours. I'll keep an eye out if I remember not to sleep in ;)

  Yep. From my experience, prices are generally all RRP (no, really!!!) at deals direct, so the only good time to buy from them is when they do these promos.
highon2str on 27/07/2012 - 17:18 ¶

Whoa! Sounds good will keep a look out. Throw in free shipping too and then we're talking… XD

What do you guys think about this
http://www.dealsdirect.com.au/p/intel-i5-quad-core-pc-i5-240... for $599
After 40% is $419
The CPU is $190 ( newegg ) already.
Any advice is appreciated.

Edit: what im after is a cheap gaming PC under $1000. Supposedly, if i get this one i will need to upgrade the GPU (maybe another stick 4gb of ram).

  scrimshaw on 27/07/2012 - 18:59 ¶
  
  Core i5 2400 $200 AUD
  Gigabyte GA-H61M-S2PV Intel mainboard $56
  Kingston ValueRAM 1333mhz $22
  1TB 7400RPM drive $87
  DVD burner $20
  Case and power supply $50 + 50
  Windows 7 OEM $89
  
  $574
  
  So yeah, that is a good bargain if you can get it for $419!
  
  However, that PSU would need upgrading (don't trust generic power supplies). Get an Antec Neo Eco for $50 to $60 from MSY.
  The case most likely also needs replacing, as its not a gamer case it would not accomodate longer video cards.

    Go for the Allergy instead of the cheaper multifloor version (best would have been the animal but it's sold out)
    
    We have the DC23 Motorised head and a DC 34 Animal and those rotating brush/motorised heads do pick up dirt/clean a lot better IMO and we have floorboards/carpets at home.

    Unfortunately, the coupon doesn't apply to their shipping, so try to go for free shipping items or combined shipping bonus items.
    
    Good luck guys, time for some sleep zzzzzz

Cancel that - they're all back now after browsing other items I checked back and there they all were

I was looking at picking up some canon ink cartridges (yes I know it's cheaper with refills or CISS systems but bear with me) and there's now just one listed on the site when there was over a dozen different types/packages when I checked at around 10pm last night…

I know I probably shouldn't whinge but was looking forward to applying the discount to these items :-/

  was just about to post the same thing.
  the T&Cs for cashback through powerbuy says that this doesn't apply to things bought with a discount code though. think this would mean that the 3hour30 would invalidate the claim?

I ordered a 240GB sandisk extreme. Most of the other computer stuff (tablets, netbooks, some monitors) looked like refurb or old stock (stuff that couldn't sell when it was released).

Got through the checkout, got to step 4 and it said down for maintenance but I can see my order in the account area.

I think down for maintenance means their server has reached a peak user limit and is dropping connections.

- fchis on 28/07/2012 - 12:28 ¶
  
  I reckon they are selling them at a loss or close to break even. The profit margin for some competitive items are very slim these days. Instead of paying advertisers, they are paying customers to visit them as a marketing exposure. Smart move.
