  Hi, I bought from you guys last time on here. I never did hear back from you about replacing the generic PSU with a good one.

  Regards - Fred.

    Hi Fred,
    If you're who I think you are then this has already been quoted and ordered but we couldn't get hold of you. Can you send me a quick email to sales@visiontech.com.au so I can double check this for you

        Actually I owe these guys an apology as far as my email address is concerned. I checked after posting the above and realised my business email address's mx properties were messed up and so I hadn't received any emails for a fortnight but had still been able to send them.

        Sorry visiontech dudes.

  2 questions:

  1. are the belkin covers shipped for free?
  2. are the rubber covers compatible with the new ipad?
  • 

     

    VisionTech on 29/08/2012 - 12:23 ¶

    1. Unfortunately not! Shipping rates do apply.
    2. Rubber covers are compatible but they were designed for iPad 1 so they're a little bit loose

  The site does not give me a shipping option, only pickup in Fairfield of Gosford stores or 'Service'. How do I arrange shipping? Thanks

    VisionTech on 29/08/2012 - 13:15 ¶

    hey branners,
    ive just checked this on a laptop in the showroom + my phone and both went through.. Could be your browser not enabling cookies maybe? if you like I can submit your order via email, just email through the details through to sales@visiontech.com.au

    Presumably it's a typo… there was no Saturday 1st August, but there is a Saturday 1st Sept.

  sparkyglo on 29/08/2012 - 12:11 ¶

  Not sure if I am doing this correctly but when I selected the shipping option to Melbourne for x1 ipad case, the shipping cost was ….. $25. Surely this can't be correct?

  • 

     

    VisionTech on 29/08/2012 - 12:25 ¶

    Hi Sparkyglo,

    Our website calculates shipping off weight brackets, if you email me your order I can arrange shipping for $5 for an iPad cover. Just send your email to sales@visiontech.com.au and we will arrange this for you.

  On website in the sub-title of the $599 build, it says 1TB HDD but in the description it still says 500GB?

  i7 3770 3.9GHz, 16GB, 1TB, DVD RW, USB 3.0, HDMI

  Does it still come with the slow ass 5400RPM 500GB HDD?

    VisionTech on 29/08/2012 - 12:28 ¶

    Hi beatlock,

    This is a 500GB HDD 5400RPM. We can upgrade this if you like, what size/speed would you prefer?

• 

   

  Keef on 29/08/2012 - 12:38 ¶

  I am looking into building my own pc currently. I can get a similar setup with 3770K with no HD or Ram for about $495.
  If you look into it, you could probably put together your own better one (just) for about the same price.

    With no hard drive or RAM?
    How does that compare?

      The HDD is a pitiful no-brand 500GB. To add salt to wounds, it's only a 5400rpm. Last time I remembered, from 2003 onwards until recently, 7200rpm was the norm for desktops. Why did we have to regress to 5400? I know, I know…the floods and all, but it's still no excuse in 2012 to have such slow, no brand drives. Tech should move forward, not back. So hence, this HDD will have a very cheap cost price.

      As for the RAM, again, it's no brand. Same goes to the PSU.

      However, despite all the above, I partially agree that in order to come up with a better price, one has to factor in the HDD and RAM.

        Are you sure it's no brand? A lot of these PC stores just don't list the brand in prebuilt PCs and aren't some of the older WD Green drives 5400rpm… or not?

        There are only 5 brands of HDDs that they can use anyway.
        1. Western Digital
        2. Seagate
        3. Hitachi (now owned by WD)
        4. Samsung (IIRC now owned by Seagate)
        5. Toshiba

        And in no way are any of them no name.

        Spin speed these days don't matter that much any more. It's all about platter density. Not to mention 5400RPM drives today can hold their own against even VelociRaptors from years ago! So yeah, HDDs ARE moving forwards, lower energy consumption and speeds are increasing or at least maintaining for cheaper. If that's not moving forward I don't know what is.

        Presumably you mean sequential speed. By definition a 5400RPM rotates less than 100 times per second, making it hard to achieve random access times under 10ms. Combining a 3rd gen i7 with this HDD is rather like combining a jet engine with a lighthouse… which doesn't matter if you think of this a bare bones PC to slap an SSD into; any vaguely modern 5400RPM drive is more than adequate for storing e.g. movies on.

        What about the no brand PSU? You guys gang up on me regarding the HDD, so what about the no brand, potentially risky PSU? Cat got your tongue? There is NO Way I'm trusting my precious files, videos, music, etc with a no-brand PSU.

        I don't think the cat has got anyone's tongue, mainly because no one said anything about the PSU and secondly; we can't possibly respond to your comment before you've posted it.

        And the one person that +ve your comment within one hour of posting (in an old thread):

  VisionTech on 29/08/2012 - 16:32 ¶

  Decnet GFX Card, I would recommend ATI RADEON HD 7850 PCI-E 3.0 2GB 256-BIT GDDR5 DUAL LINK DVI HDMI 2X MINI DISPLAYPORT for an additional $249 or go for a GTX 560 1GB for $199.

  Hi ozy2000, do you want me to quote you on the same PC without the extras you have mentioned ?
  Or recommend something else, what type of use will this unit be for you, what requirements do you need, let me know so I can prep up something for you also will you require it shipped or picked up ??

  srhardy on 30/08/2012 - 08:58 ¶

  MB is last gen usb 2.0 and the hd is small, slow and very much not worth it… for the price difference go the Vision Tech Performer i7 PC@ $599 as it has a better gen mb (current is 77) with an extra 8gb for 16gb total

  B75 biz mb, no overlcocking in bios for cpu or memory
  z77 can o/c cpu/mb

  both are current gen chipsets and are otherwise the same as each other as far as functionality goes
