    What will make your eyes water is that a Microsoft install will represent 33% of the cost!

      Hi Vortex, the PC is On SALE not the install.
      Bearing in Mind the Software including installation for $110 is a pretty fair price.
      But that is not the sale item.
      What do you think so far of the build price, can you comment on that please ?

      AS per MSY Comment
      CPU:$59
      MB with HDMI: $55 (starting price with HDMI)
      Ram: $31 for 1600Mhz RAM
      SlimLine Case: They dont advertise so we say $35 for arguments sake
      Burner: $18
      HDD: $59
      TOTAL Cost: $257 at MSY PARTS ONLY

      Can you please confirm if this is correct ?

      I have just calculated all their cheapest prices online.
      Also ours is Built READY TO GO. No Build Cost:
      How much does the competitor charge for the build, we need to add that as well.

          Even if you factor in the CASE and MOBO it still doesnt equate.

          Fair enough, it is helpful if you specify model and brand of the Mobo/RAM/HDD etc to make an accurate price comparison

  • CyberGenesys on 08/05/2013 - 12:18

    My understanding of the G2020 CPU is it uses a 1333mhz FSB, so using 1600mhz ram is wasted? Not that I'm complaining, may as well get fast ram in the event you upgrade…

    ohh, not really thinking about buying one… but assume the b75 is the gigabyte?, also has sata III…or the same one as last time: ASRock B75M-R2

    very tempting to get it to replace the aging P4 we use as a second PC…though think a android TV stick will free up the slightly better HT p4 media centre for a second PC :D - sorry thinking out aloud…

        would be very tempted minus the HDD (and HDD cost) then +27 for the mobo upgrade…
        could then use an OLD SSD thats not really being used.

        anyways, i gotta stop looking before i seriously consider it :P 3 running PCs, a laptop and a number of tablets is enough for a family of 3+toddler!

          The quad core android TV stick's are looking too good at the moment, but think i'll fold on something like this next deal in a month or so's time. I MUST be strong.

    If I took the Motherboard upgrade and wanted to add dedicated gfx in the future, does the m/b and case support all the popular dedicated gfx?

    • scrimshaw on 08/05/2013 - 15:11

      This isn't a good start for a gaming pc. If you want a system that can take upgrades, choose a system with a bigger case and a higher wattage power supply.

      You could in theory add in a gfx card to this pc but it'll have to be low power (req. less 300w) and fairly small (due to case size restriction and generic power supply). A low end card however has little practical benefit.

      Parts are usually second hand but can get for bargain prices (Cheaper than ebay)

        Yeah I do use trading forums on OCAU from time to time. Haven't traded $5000 worth but would certainly be over $2500 I'd say. Have been with OCAU since their beginnings, in fact I think the only reason I frequent their forums less these days is because of OzBargain :)

    • salem on 08/05/2013 - 16:38

      I haven't seen an answer to my above question about number of bays for this computer, but the HP microserver holds 4 out of the box, plus can squeeze in two more with some fiddling. However this computer is more customisable and upgradeable with a gruntier CPU. But you don't really need that if all you're serving is files with no processing.

      • ashura on 08/05/2013 - 17:54

        Salem, you are correct. The only different is the number of bay. If only, this system can fit 2-3 HDD, I would be really happy.

    Is it actually NEW?
    Worrying comments elsewhere on the forums of this site

    Hi Vision Tech,
    could you please confirm that all the parts in this computer are brand new?

    (i.e That they have not been used by anyone in this computer or any other computer, except for perhaps a few minutes of testing?)

    Since I haven't heard of you before, I did some research and found this:
    http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/86409
    He claims that he and another person both received from you a computer with used parts.

    Also, could you give us some idea of why you're able to sell the computer at such a good price?

    No offence - just need to be sure of what I'm getting.
    I've joined up just to ask this question.

    I note you've answered quite a few questions on here so I assume you will be able to answer this one.

    Thanks alot - looks like a great deal so far!
    (I'm only a student and will have to go into debt for a couple of weeks, so I need to be sure.)

          Hi all , I am the original poster of that thread: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/86409. And I am not "Banned" from Ozbargain site at all.

          Thanks to the mod for clarifying that my thread is legitimate.

          I stand by what I have said in that thread, and the pictures attached in that thread is the strongest evidence against them. The "brand new" PC I bought in 2012 contains a 2009 model HDD.

          I am not their competitor but a genuine customer (But because of this, my first time buying something from them is the last time that I bought something from them) and I am not sure who is using my thread for "Socket puppeting" purposes.

          Again, in this thread, I am disappointed by their explanation, instead of admitting to their mistake, they give multiple excuses again and again. If you read my thread in detail, you can see that they are rude in their reply as well.

          The lessons I have learnt: (Can be used for this vendor and others)

          1. Check all goods are as described before leaving their shop
          2. Check online forums for feedback on vendors before committing to buy from them. (There maybe positives and negatives comments for all these vendors. Read all available comments and make your informed decisions)

          Finally, I hope that zenji's problem is solved to his satisfaction, if it's still unsolved, just treat it as paying some lesson fees..

          I am also copying this reply in my thread for record purposes.

    CONSUMER ADVISORY: Police involvement, computer held 'to ransom', very aggressive and dishonest behaviour

    Before having any dealings with this company I would urge you to PM me - I will be happy to chat with you on the phone or skype about a very bad experience I've had with them.

    This is the worst experience I've ever had with a company and in all SINCERITY I would be happy to help other people avoid the problems I've had.

    Not only are they dishonest, but they are positively aggressive.

    (For example, they reported me to Fairfield Police - completley wasting police time - because I told them in an email that I would publicise their actions. Needless to say, nothing came of it. They are currently holding my computer effectively for 'ransom', trying to charge me for fixing a fault that was there when it arrived. (I have witnesses to this.) They won't even use their standard courier service to send it back to me - even though I've offered to pay in advance just to get this over with. They are saying I have to pick it up - which they know is a three hour round trip for me, with two trains and four buses.)

    (If you check other posts about them on this forum, you will see that acting aggressively towards anyone who complains publicly about them is part of their M.O.)

    I am currently just trying to get my computer back from them. I am happy to pay just to get it over with.

    However the next step will be to get that money back via a hearing at either the CTTT or perhaps even the local court (I've been told that may be necessary).

    Eventually I will publish online the outcome of this legal action, so that people will have hard evidence that they can see for themselves about the way this company behaves towards its customers.

    In the meantime, I am happy to talk IN PERSON to anyone who wants to get the FACTS about this company before they consider dealing with them.

    (Sometimes I know that on forums people are more interested in creating an argument than getting the facts. This is why I have offered to speak to people on the phone about this. I hope that is an indicator of my sincerity about it. The behaviour of this company is something people NEED to know about before risking going through what I've gone through.)

    AFTER VISION TECH KEEPS MY COMPUTER, SENT IN TO THEM FOR REPAIR

    Vision Tech has decided to keep my computer that I returned to them for repair.
    Fair Trading told me that this is now likely a police matter.

    *
    I advised Vision Tech (in writing) I would pay for repairs under duress and seek redress later through CTTT.

    They have informed me:
    - they are keeping the computer I bought
    - they are refunding my money

    F.T advises that this is effectively theft.
    (It is rather like stealing someone's property and then choosing the amount of compensation you will give them for the loss).

    I am currently considering whether to take this further with the police - a fairly time-consuming process - or just seek a CTTT hearing.

    Regardless of final outcome of police involvedment, F.T advises that it is consumers choice whether to get a refund. Vendor can't just elect to keep the PC, because it is now mine.

    Earlier the computer had arrived with a faulty USB. This was tested at least a day before case was ever opened to install hardware. (The fault was discovered when I tested my XP USB installer. One port worked, the other didn't.) It was also tested AFTER I installed windows. Only THEN did we open case to install SSD, and we went NOWHERE NEAR USB. I have a witness to all this, who works in IT.

    I put it in for repairs and they claimed it was me who 'broke it' while installing SSD (an absurdity). They refused to return it unless I paid $55.

    After I threatened publicity in an email, they tried to get Fairfield Police involved! (Unbelievable).

    I publicised their actions on public forums, and they've now responded by keeping my computer and claiming they will refund me.

    Regardless of ANYTHING I may have said to them or anyone else, they have no right to effectively steal my computer.

    DEAL with these people at your own risk: if you give them your computer for repair and they feel offended by the manner with which you approach them, they may just keep it.

    If you read it I would suggest you focus on facts claimed
    within the posts by myself, my flatmate (SuperfastMonkkey) and Vision Tech.

    Many of the other comments can't even correctly quote what we actually said :)

    PROVIDING NEW EVIDENCE ABOUT HIGHLY DUBIOUS NATURE
    OF THE CLAIM BY VISION TECH THAT I BROKE THE USB BY FITTING the SSD

    It is a deliberate lie and these photos show why.

    The whole basis of Vision Tech's dispute with me was that they were claiming that
    we damaged the USB when we installed the SSD.

    (Whereas I said that it was faulty when I first opened the box and tested my Xp-Install-on-a-stick.)

    I have now tracked down multiple images of the computer case.

    They clearly show that the idea that installing the SSD could POSSIBLY have damaged the USB is far-fetched to say the least:

    Indeed, I would ask the question:
    on what ~honest~ basis could one draw such a conclusion?

    It does not take a super-paranoid person to wonder if this was one reason they were not keen to return the case: it would have enabled me to show what I've now shown through the use of those pictures.
