        But look how much it took for him to get it resolved, not to mention having to put up the absurd claims by CPL that he damaged it himself, before it was resolved.

        Sure it's a "Deal" from a strictly price perspective if everything goes well. If not there's a chance it is going to cost you a lot more in time, money and frustration with this Mob.

      Dear TimTech, please see our response on that day in the same post. I quoted here anyway. Thank you for your involvement.

      "To the concerned buyers. There has been a lot said about the alleged situation with a customer’s machine from last week’s OzBargain special. We apologize for what may seem to be a slow response.

      We have gone over our records and since we have started posting on OzBargain we have shipped out close to 400 systems via AusPost and Fastway couriers around the country with another 350 in pick-up in- store purchases.

      We beseech anyone who has had a similar experience to speak up as we believe that not a single incidence of this has happened. Our products are built, checked by the technician and cross-checked by 2 separate warehouse personnel before being packed and shipped.

      We are somewhat skeptical as to the lack of damage to the box in this case given the severe damage internally. As admitted and highlighted in the forum posts, the box seems to be in good condition which does beg the question of how the damage has occurred if not in transit.

      Lastly we would like to stress that while we are certain that we shipped these goods in a good condition we, as a gesture of good will, would like the affected customer to ship back the unit. We will rebuild a brand new unit and ship it to him at our cost.

      Just now, we have received dozens of orders for this bargain and we thank everyone for their continued support."

        I would suggest not dealing with lucksmith again - butterfingers get expensive when your margins are already so low…

        Are you reselling the damaged PC?

      Just to be clear, as a gesture of good will, CPL has agreed to either replace my system or give me a refund. CPL has also arranged the shipping of the item back at their own cost. The parcel was picked up today by Fairway couriers and should be arriving at CPL's Notting Hill branch soon. I have opted for the refund and have notified CPL of this already. How quickly the funds would be transferred back into my own account, I do not know, but I have asked CPL about this and am just waiting for their reply.

      CPL may have been skeptical of my request for a refund at first, but they had every right to do so. However, with sound reasoning, I was able to convince CPL that the damage was not of my own doing. CPL has since been cooperative and provided me good customer service. Perhaps CPL should have worded things better here on OzBargain, but I would say that this may have been due to the amount of stress that they were under at the time.

      I feel no ill will towards CPL as they have still agreed to provide me with what I want, even despite their reluctance initially. Hopefully this incident would've provided CPL the valuable experience to deal with similar situations that should arise in the future, and that they continue to provide deals to an appreciative OzBargain community.

      it looks SO SIMILAR to the deal a few days ago! lucky i didnt decide to buy that one yet…. :P

      EDIT: but you did have upgrade options on the other site, rather than being stuck with a premade one here

    • Lucky13 on 25/07/2013 - 17:15

      Similar but this ones got a 3.2GHz CPU and BudgetPC's is a 3.6GHz

      • BlazinPast on 25/07/2013 - 17:59

        They are the same. Both are i5 4570 which are 3.2 Ghz base and turbo up to 3.6 Ghz

        • Lucky13 on 25/07/2013 - 18:47

          Oh ok. How does that work? Do u need special software/do something to get it up to 3.6Ghz?

        • BlazinPast on 25/07/2013 - 18:57
          +1

          No, so basically it runs at 3.2 Ghz but turbos up to 3.6 GHz automatically if the computer is under stress and needs the extra 'power'

        • Lucky13 on 25/07/2013 - 19:09

          Oh ok thanks, but it cant probably keep that up for too long would cause overheating issues etc??

          no. When ur using all the cores it uses the base frequency. When you use 2 it can run faster.

      • ItsMeAgro on 25/07/2013 - 14:20

        Honestly, I haven't heard of any GPU (dual Titans or whatever is hardcorest these days) running a game significantly faster on an i7 over an i3.

        If anyone can point to a benchmark showing it, I'd be interested,

        Invidius…I was having a joke.. But if you wanna be serious about things then the CPU is not normally a bottleneck for a gaming machine..

      • dogboy on 25/07/2013 - 16:01

        No game on the market uses more than 4 cores to run so an i5 is perfect for a gaming rig.

    • Alzori on 25/07/2013 - 14:19

      What would you suggest to be better? i7's only add hyperthreading, which gives no gain in power but makes the cores a tiny bit easier to utilise - this basically has zero effect on games. You could get the unlocked 4670k but that would do little for power gains as the GPU would be the bottleneck. Moving to some s2011 setup with 6 cores would be similarly ineffective and ludicrously expensive.

      Hi Lucky13,

      Off the PS2 website, it says the recommended system specs are as the follow,

      OS - Windows 7
Processor - Intel i5 processor or higher / AMD Phenom II X6 or higher
Memory - 8 GB RAM
Hard Drive - 15 GB free
Video Memory - 1,024 MB RAM
Video Card - nVidia GeForce GTX 560 series or higher / AMD HD 6870 or higher
Sound Card - DirectX compatible

    Why is it that these deals always have nvdia cards (gtx660 in particular) instead of the better performing (at same price) AMD GPUs, such as 7870, 7950, etc?

    • ItsMeAgro on 25/07/2013 - 14:45

      They're fairly close in value these days.

      Plus I suspect people buying pre-built systems are more likely to have heard that i7's and Nvidia are "better" but not actually know the details.

      Just because an i3 and HD 7950 for the same price would be faster in any game doesn't mean the majority of your customers will know that (and for many buyers, gaming is only intended as a secondary usage).

    I'm guessing CPL gives lower priority to those who want it customized. They have limited units so I guess those who want the pre-made build straight up gets served first. If there's still some leftover at the end of the day, then they'll look at those who want tweaks. That's what I think what happened anyway..
    Remember, there's still the BudgetPC build which is essentially the same if you still want this builld, but it's an extra $100. Lets see what happens. Maybe CPL have a few more to give away
