@Computer Alliance:
Thanks for taking the time to comment here Adam, appreciate you addressing questions and concerns from the community.
I had my eye on the Corsair TX550M PSU but someone beat me to the last one on the ebay store, just wondering if you have any more in stock that you could add to the store or know if any new ones will be coming in the next few days? (i.e. before the sale is over)
Thanks again.
More have appeared, excellent news :D
Hi Adam, any chance you'll be getting stock of this before the sale ends? Ipevo Ziggi VZ-R HDMI/USB Dual Mode 8MB Document Camera. Considering it (with a monitor) for my grandmother as an alternative to the $4000+ ones on VisionAustralia (https://shop.visionaustralia.org/shop/product/clearview-c24-…). Looking at using it with the 27" ASUS VC279H IPS Eyecare monitor. Cheers.
Edit: Also wondering if the Ipevo WS-01 Wireless Station works with this model? Looking at this also led me to see there's a VZ-X Wireless model of the VZ-R "coming soon".. https://www.ipevo.com/prods/VZ-X_Wireless_HDMI_USB_8MP_Docum…. Will you be stocking this one when it launches?
Maybe. Have a batch on order from a week ago that should be here by now - will chase up purchasing and see where they are…Other Qs, sorry don't know. Will look it up if I get a chance.
any egpu on sale ?
Any recommendations on monitors would be great for office use side by side with small bezels. Need an upgrade.
Maybe just get one ultrawide.
Got a laugh out of me mate
Viewsonic 32" IPS, thin bezels plus free shipping $349… https://www.mwave.com.au/product/viewsonic-ultraslim-vx3276-…
I was eyeing up the ViewSonic VA2719-2K 27" WQHD (2560x1440) IPS Monitor $269.10 +Delivery (e.g. $281.65 Delivered to NSW Area) @ Wireless1 eBay deal, but missed out.
Was hoping to snag one or two here with Computer Alliance but… while they have the same monitor available on their web store, it's not available on their eBay store which makes me super sad :(
I wonder if MSY 10% off selected monitors applied to ViewSonic VA2719-2K as well. Maybe you can give it a shot.
Ah crap. Ended today & in store only. Too late :( Thanks though…
Only 2 physically left in stock and because of the low numbers those have automatically been reserved for shop sales. Might have some more in next week or if not and the shop ones don't sell may be able to push one or 2 up to ebay. No promises.
How about AOC Q3279VWF? 31.5inch VA display
hoping to get one my self if prices drop around $280
I've been using OzBargain for a while now and have never even heard of Computer Alliance. Let alone gotten sick of people who buy computer products from them exclusively. I detect some salesmanship in the deal's description?
Never mind, won't hear from him for a while. 😉
He's going to be back just in time for the launch!
I've been using OzBargain for a while now and have never even heard of Computer Alliance.
How long is a while because above 4 weeks you would have heard about them or you use the site infrequently.
About two and a half years. They have been brought to my attention now in any case. Maybe I just wasn't as interested in computer parts as I am at present and was mentally filtering those deals out.
CA has been around for over 20 years in Mt Gravatt. Not usually as cheap as the likes of MSY, or in the olden days Gamedude, but imo, much better service.
A well known presence to those in Brisbane. Understood.
hmm what's the special about this store? it's getting ridiculous +ves…
They don't price jack and often have better prices than other stores.
I think they generally are viewed as an ethical store that doesn't price jack.
One day I'll get a 1080Ti for $800-900
This guy went down to $900 when I asked: https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/wynnum/components/2-x-asus-r…
Please don't buy this off Gumtree in a different state lol
Good gaming headphone deals?
I don't think so after you include $15 shipping.
Can someone please help me? I'm look at a MSI GP63 8RE-094AU 15.6" Core i7 Leopard Notebook Win 10 here is the link: https://www.computeralliance.com.au/search?search=%20GP63%20… if I get it when the coupon will it give me the discount? Thanks
Anyone know of any good monitor deals to use for geforce gaming from this store, upto around $800, 4k preferred? I am also thinking about purchasing some extra cooling for this desktop https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/382118 , though I have no idea about cooling, any advice or recommendation would be greatly appreciated.
Anyone know of any good monitor deals to use for geforce gaming from this store, upto around $800, 4k preferred?
AOC AGON AG271QG, G-Sync and $764.15 after coupon, no 4K though.
If this was 32 inches or larger and 4K this would be my dream monitor
I was looking at buying a complete upgrade Ryzen 5 2600x, x470 Auros Ultra, 750w PSU and DDR4 16gb 3200. Was waiting for a good deal.
I'm looking at the same (but b350 instead), not sure what RAM to get - G.Skill (2x8G) 3200Mhz Trident Z or Corsair CMK16GX4M2D3200C16 3200MHz Vengeance LPX ? (or even Corsair CMK16GX4M2C3000C16 3000MHz Vengeance LPX 3000mhz if it is a good mix)??
Looking to get a LG 34UC99-W…
Pretty much out of stock, only a couple showing in inventory and suspect they have been open/returns so won't be any listed on ebay at the moment, and probably won't be new stock in next week. I will remind the purchasing guys we are nearly out.
All good thanks for you reply.
What about the LG 38WK95C-W? It is $2,099 on your website.
Sold out a couple of weeks ago and none on order - for now its a model we are ordering in on request at the shop till we can get a better price for volume.
Was planning to get this ASUS VC239H as it comes out cheaper than other stores after discount, including shipping. I'm just not sure if it's worth it. Any thoughts?
People here saying computer alliance don't price jack but they definitely price jacked a laptop I was looking at last year which I'm still salty about

So you were in the store looking and a staff member ran up and swapped the price tag. That's not nice.
Where is your proof of this price jacking bearing in mind that prices go up and down all the time and they automatically update ebay when this occurs.
Lol nope, this was about a year ago. Computer Alliance was part of a 20% tech sale that started at 10am, shortly after 10am they jacked up the laptop that I was going to buy.
No proof because this was obviously a year ago but not sure why I would lie about this. I generally like computer alliance but just don't pretend they are perfect and don't price jack, because they definitely have.

I'm not saying you're lying but Computer Alliance have always been upfront and honest so it's likely that the price changed in store, they ran out of stock and ordered more at a higher price or any one of a number of other explanations.
@Maverick-au
Instead of spamming 'wheres the proof' and attacking our fellow members? How about you post some deals out of the hundreds - thousands of items apart from the 5 that were posted that are $10 less.
Honestly getting so angry sounds like you're related to the store.. You aren't even providing anything of worth to the discussion.
Responses to my post was just full of personal attacks. This is Ozbargain and its posted as the number one deal at the moment.
I'd say the onus is on you to prove I'm wrong, but obviously not.

I'm not after any parts at the moment but you're the making these claims so either put up or shut up.
You have posted zero proof about your claims that everything is more expensive than every other computer store in Australia. So how about it, post the proof.
And give us a link to your ebay store so we can compare it's prices.
Honestly getting so angry sounds like you're related to the store.. You aren't even providing anything of worth to the discussion.
You're posting all kind of malicious claims with no proof.
I'd say the onus is on you to prove I'm wrong, but obviously not.
You're the one posting the claims, you need to prove them.
Haha just as I thought. Personal attacks and anger.
You need to learn to discuss and provide points instead of just attacking people
You also seem like the kind of guy that just replies to everything to be contrary.
You haven't provided one single shred of value to this discussion WHATSOEVER. The onus is on the deal provider to prove that something is a deal, and honestly I see nothing that deserves this amount of upvotes except for hype and popularity.
You need to learn to discuss and provide points instead of just attacking people
I have provided points but you refuse to provide proof.
You claimed that all technology gets cheaper, this is nothing but a lie and I gave examples but you refuse to respond.
You haven't provided one single shred of value to this discussion WHATSOEVER
You have only posted lies. When was the last time you posted a deal on OzBargain?
You've provided no arguments in return and keep launching ad hominem personal attacks. Basically your replies can be summed up as 'SHUTUP YOU ARE WRONG'
'WHRRES YUR EBAY STORE'
'YES ThRre IZ BARGEN BUT U PROVE NOT!!!1111'
I'll let you take this one buddy, seems like you just like arguing for the sake of it.
You've provided no arguments in return and keep launching ad hominem personal attacks. Basically your replies can be summed up as 'SHUTUP YOU ARE WRONG'
Provide proof to back up your claims. You can't because you made them up. I've proved you wrong with your statement that all technology gets cheaper and I've asked for proof that EVERY other computer store in Australia is cheaper. You are a liar who has a grudge against CA. Post your ebay store so we can check it's prices as it's pretty obvious you work for a competitor.
'Provide proof to back up your claims'
… provides no proof to back up anything except personal attacks and personal questions/insults
good one
I'm an ozbargain consumer, not a competitor. Who is the one making false claims/personal attacks?
None of my claims are false. You have 8800 clicks and all the time in the world.
So far we have 5 deals out of xxxx products. There are MORE people posting that their item got jacked than those posting about deals. You are calling anyone who says anything bad about the store a liar without any counter proof.
Honestly, you sound like a massive shill. And you can't lay off the personal attacks and slander, ever. You attacked three of our fellow ozbargainers for sharing their stories.
Give me a break, all you do is insult other ozbargainers and shill your store
BTW you are massive liar and false claims. In the previous eBay post you said
"The retailers taking part in these 20% off deals have to eat the whole 20% plus on top of this they have to pay fees on the full sale price before the discount was applied."
Get out of here with your fake info
I'm an ozbargain consumer, not a competitor. Who is the one making false claims/personal attacks?
Did you miss the part where you talked about the ebay store that you ran and the lies that you have said about CA?
None of my claims are false.
What about these claims?
(direct copies of text from this deal)
These are clearly lies and malicious at that. You have been asked time and time again to prove them but have failed. You have lied about ALL PC components getting cheaper and were provided examples and you refuse to respond.
Give me a break, all you do is insult other ozbargainers and shill your store
I have no connection to any store and I actually post deals on this site, something you have never done. You admitted to running an ebay store but refuse to identify it.
BTW you are massive liar and false claims. In the previous eBay post you said
"The retailers taking part in these 20% off deals have to eat the whole 20% plus on top of this they have to pay fees on the full sale price before the discount was applied."
Yes I said that and that is based on the comments of previous participants and stores invited to these events. Look them up yourself they were posted on OzBargain.
Get out of here with your fake info
How about posting proof to back up all the malicious, false and misleading claims you have posted in an effort to tarnish the reputation of Computer Alliance? Nope didn't think you could.
Again, an essay but with no proof or arguments whatsoever. You could have used the 2 hours you used to think that up to post some deals and prove me wrong. Instead you write an empty essay. All you say is 'you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong'. Not even a single point saying why.
Yes, there is a global reduction in the price of GPUs compared to the mining boom 6 months ago, and yes, prices are decreasing globally. The CA rep themselves said this was true. This reduction in price has been taken into account in almost every other store, whereas CA prices seem to increase on this whole category. Short term price increases are possible but mid-long term tech is replaced by newer tech.
The price of SSD, ram etc. has actually been consistently reducing for like-like in the mid term. The models and speed are getting better therefore the prices have gone up because you are comparing newer technology. The important part is that this change is reflected in almost all other stores, but CA tends to increase the price of these items. GPUs are a perfect example.
You have 10 members who have posted here and said their item was jacked, but apparently all of them are liars.. it makes sense that you have to resort to personal attacks and just quote my posts out of context without a single rebuttal.
I recognise their free will to price as they wish and the costs to their business. It doesn't mean we need to celebrate this store on OzBargain as the number 1 voted deal. Honestly this sale is no better than every other 20% off. 5 items that are unchanged/deals, 500 that are jacked/overpriced
Like seriously there are 10+ members talking about jacked prices and all we get is one 'cool story' excuse about how a 3 year old laptop model needed to have a price increase a few days before the sale due to sheer coincidence.
Again, an essay but with no proof or arguments whatsoever.
I don't have to provide proof, you have done nothing but continue to port lies and I have asked you numerous times to back up your claims.
The price of SSD, ram etc. has actually been consistently reducing for like-like in the mid term. The models and speed are getting better therefore the prices have gone up because you are comparing newer technology.
RAM prices are at all time highs so another lie from you - https://www.extremetech.com/computing/263031-ram-prices-roof…
Oh wait I'm compare newer technology… oh wait no I'm not, the following from the link above.
"Over the past two years, the price of DRAM has skyrocketed. A recent report by GamersNexus found that the cost of a specific DDR4-2400 memory kit has leaped from $81 on 2/22/2016 to $196 today ($196 on January 22, $192 on January 30)."
You have 10 members who have posted here and said their item was jacked, but apparently all of them are liars.. it makes sense that you have to resort to personal attacks and just quote my posts out of context without a single rebuttal.
I don't see 10 posts from people saying there has been price jacking, yet another lie from you.
5 items that are unchanged/deals, 500 that are jacked/overpriced
And another lie, show us the 500 prices that were jacked. I'll settle for 50.
Still waiting for all the evidence you have to support your claims (a few of them following).
@CHUNK: You won't get far throwing bogus accusations around the place. He has far more credibility here than you do. Besides, he does this whenever he is defending a website. Just look at his comment history.
You're attacking a strawman and have provided no proof whatsoever. What you are doing is the definition of strawman.
Do prices of technology go up? Yes. Has Computer Alliance increased their prices because of this? Yes.
Do prices of technology also go down? Yes, take GPUs recently for example. Has Computer Alliance decreased their prices to reflect this? No.
That is the ONLY point that matters in my discussion. Otherwise, you can take any comment and find exceptions and nitpick - this is what low logic/intelligence arguments are like and why attacking strawman B is not what intelligent people do because you aren't focusing on the core argument.
IF prices were going up AND CA also increased their prices, that would be okay. What is not okay is that they are increasing their prices when globally the price is dropping - the CA rep himself said what I said is true about GPUs. You are WRONG WRONG WRONG, the store itself said its true that cards are dropping as of recent but that it is not reflected on their store yet.
The rest of your post is just bull. I can copy paste everything you say and ask for proof the same. I mean, you made that outrageous claim about eBay sales where people had to pay fees off the original price and cover the whole 20%.
Absolute bull, not a single shred of proof or screenshot except for your typing. You call out 10 ozbargainers for 'lying' with no proof, despite the fact that there is a REVISION HISTORY ON EBAY <—- WTF?
If you're defending a store please actually provide some good points, the only point you provided is a dumb article talking about a certain type of RAM exception to the rule which is complete strawman.
Exactly.
Prices decreased globally in end of May - June (if you are following the GPU/crypto mining market) but prices increased on CA for the card you linked. And they have increased on every other card (or stayed insanely high) as well
I understand they have their reasons but this just honestly doesn't look good from an OzBargain point of view. Exchange rates are actually slightly better than they were before.
Of course, you can chalk anything off as 'oh, just a coincidence' (but just remember you posted this example).
No Ryzen 1600s? I can only find the 1600X
We are out of stock, but have ordered more in and pushed them up onto ebay before they actually arrive (probably Tuesday) to allow people to buy straight away if they want.
Also reduced the price, based on the new buy price, a nice reduction to $219 pre coupon (was $258)
Thanks for the response.
Been on the edge for months, I think it's time to pull the trigger!
I kind of know what RAM/Mobo I want as well, but any recommendations based on what you have in stock?
Why not get 2600?
Didn't think there was a big difference in performance, and don't trust myself to do a BIOS upgrade cause I'd be getting a B350m motherboard… however I'm not up to date on latest happenings so open to suggestions
Hey rep if i buy all the parts needed tomorrow whats the charge to assemble?
We treat the eBay store as a simple supermarket arrangement and it doesn't include all the service options we can offer through the store, ordering in any out of stock, or special order parts, upgrading notebooks and other systems etc. Normally if you buy a system from us, we treat it as a discrete product rather than a collection of parts we assemble - in other words the 3 year warranty we put on systems include problem solving as a system, not just a parts warranty, and essentially offers a higher levels of support for non technical customers.
Just mentioning all that for others interest.
If you end up with a collection of parts bought through ebay, talk to our service department at the shop and we can arrange to assemble and test for you for a fee. Cost would depend on the details of what you need done and note we are flat out this time of year in Builds so best to leave it till July if possible. Would be $100+
Its not a bad idea to get us to assemble, but you might also want to have a go at it yourself, and if you get stuck, then bring it in. A few youtube videos and some common sense it all it takes and its a useful skill. Just be careful - we do get a lot of overconfident, mainly kids, buying parts and assume its as easy as a lego kit, only to find they try and return a "faulty" mainboard with bent pins etc (I'm not sympathetic to people who make a mistake like that and lie to us about it - we ban them straight away and do not give them a refund - better being honest and we can often help the out fix that sort of issue). Its pretty difficult to do physical damage if you are aware you are not a expert and do some basic research + don't force anything.
Had some poor bugger a couple of weeks ago buy a very expensive i9 system as parts. Service guys tell me he somehow managed to insert the chip around the wrong way, pretty much tore the socket off the board and bent/crushed the outer part of the CPU trying to get it in. Very expensive mistake! I doubt I'm physically strong enough to do that sort of damage, so he really put some weight behind it! He was upfront about it, so we are hassling Intel to see if they are willing to help him out, but its probably going to be a case of bad luck.
He probably used a hammer on the i9 like this guy did with his RAM.
https://www.reddit.com/r/talesfromtechsupport/comments/8r0yi…
Ha! I have not seen one of our customers try a hammer to fit RAM, but i have seen people force RAM in around the wrong way firmly enough to make a circuit, power up the system, and let the magic smoke escape.
Bit of a random one. Bought some 4TB WD Golds on Thursday at $265 - 10% as that was the current deal. 15% is a $13 better again. $265 was cheapest price on staticice to start with.
Just wanted to thank the GM and store reps for taking the time to talk through peoples questions around the store and this sale. Its great to see.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong here. I use the link in this post and got to the page "https://www.ebay.com.au/rpp/computer-alliance". It seems that none of the categories (either in the thumbnail nor the left side bar) worked - basically it just sends me straight back to the same page. The only link that worked was the T&C page.
I also tried using the code "PROCESSOR" as it is written in the banner and it also doesn't work. "Looks like that's the wrong code. Please double-check and try again." (I am just trying to buy a hard drive or two here (as per https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/385299)). Is anyone having any issue applying the code?
The deal starts at 10AM, everything will work fine after that
That's one hour down the drain. FACEPALM
Thank you for putting me out of my misery.
Damn that's annoying lol, for future reference, if the deal has a blue "Today" in the title, it means that the deal hasnt started yet but is due to start later in the day. You can find the start time above the report button of the post :)
whats with all the upvotes? even with 15% off and free shipping from eBay plus trial im finding many items cheaper at Umart (mostly looking at PC cases and PSUs here).
Only a good deal for those not living near MSY of Umart stores
I'd rather trust a company that's actually going to honour their warranties also (unlike MSY), plus CA have awesome customer service from the dealings I've had with them.
Alongside that, you can combine with discounted eBay gift cards and earn flybuys points.
I don't think its fair to complain about MSY not honoring warranty.
Personal experience after they were fined/warned there is no trouble claiming it.
This is 2.5-3 years after purchasing things. This is Auburn branch (they always do it no questions asked), not sure about other MSYs
I don't think its fair to complain about MSY not honoring warranty.
Why? They have been fined twice for that exact issue, I would never trust them. Even if they have apparently fixed the issue, would just price match elsewhere to ensure I don't get screwed over in the long run.
Plot twist. CA now have eBay Plus.
I was wondering the same thing.
And the deals in their weekly spam email are usually more expensive than Scorptec, PCCG, etc.
Thanks. Just picked up a couple of 4TB IronWolf's and a Synology DS918+ for under a grand.
No Playseats? :(
Any eGPU (i.e., Aorus Gaming Box) or eGPU enclosures on sale? And hopefully doesn't cost a fortune
Does anyone know if the AM4 platform, say with an APU processor, can be configured (in UEFI/BIOS) to run at a low wattage/power range? Otherwise it looks like I will have to go the AM1 route, but CPU options are harder to come across.
What about a non-APU, AM4 processor with a very efficient GPU like the nvidia 1030?
Basically looking to make a very power efficient desktop that I can dial up to max power when necessary.
Currently helping a friend choose components for a new gaming PC.
Majority of the PC components are still cheaper via PC Case Gear.
Shame.
And PC Case Gear aren't even cheap
Does that include PCCG's expensive shipping? Get the eBay Plus trial for free shipping at CA. Otherwise enjoy $15 flat rate.
Are you serious? Bashes PCCG shipping but CA is charging $15 extra regardless of the item.. on eBay (where prices are already inflated, and no it doesn't count if your website is just as inflated)
Can you guys stop shilling this store and attacking other stores to everyone who has a slight gripe.
PCCG Prebuilt System
$42 eParcel
PCCG CPU + HDD + Case
$49 eParcel
PCCG HDD
$15 eParcel
CA Prebuilt System
$15 Flat rate
CA CPU + HDD + Case
$15 Flat rate
CA HDD
$15 Flat rate
Orrrrr eBay Plus free trial for free shipping at Computer Alliance? Who is the clear winner here? Computer Alliance because they offer a flat rate of $15 for everything or you can get it for free with eBay plus. While PCCG are charging significantly more. Sounds like you're the one shilling.
First of all, you are grabbing shipping prices from the high end for everything.
Secondly, they are not 'like like' comparisons. How about provide some info about the prices of the items? (Hint: it doesn't matter that shipping is cheaper if the item itself is more expensive, everything else is just BS)
Thirdly, PC Case Gear is already expensive, as the other guy stated. That CA is even more expensive DESPITE offering lower shipping costs AND a 15% off coupon should tell you something.
And plus eBay plus costs money and is only a 30-day free trial. Its cost is a whopping $49 per year.
Stop shilling mate. Shipping prices by themself mean nothing.
Since you brought up PCCG I talked about PCCG. Is Computer Alliance cheaper on everything? No, don't be ridiculous. If you knew anything about computer stores, or any business in general you would know that the prices between stores will always vary. Sometimes OW are cheaper than HN on somethings and vice versa.
Here is an example of CA being cheaper than PCCG.
WD Blue 4TB
CA - $158.65 w/ $15 Cap or $143.65 free shipping.
PCCG - $180 w/ $15 Shipping.
So what if eBay Plus is a 30 day trial? You must be new here! Look at the countless Kogan deals with their Shipster trials and referral credit. It's a loophole people exploit to get the best possible price. This is OzBargain afterall and the whole point is to score a bargain. Just like this sale. If there are means to get free shipping then do it.
I look forward to your future contributions to this website. I hope to see a deal from you someday with better prices than CA.
Honestly pointless, now the argument has become 'here is an item that is cheaper at CA than pc case gear'. Yes good job, you managed to find that one Ryzen and those WD sata hard drives, compared to the most outrageous shipping price store in Au
and didnt forget to throw in that personal jab at the end
@Computer Alliance:
Thanks mate
