                @GreyMann: Price VS performance, this is a better deal. Only question is if the out of stock orders will be fulfilled where as you know you'll recieve the techfast system. Bit of a gamble really.

    Contacted Sales services to confirm if it's 1TB x2 or x1.
    They'll get back to me.

    Wanting to push my luck a little to see if they'll honour the advertised 2TB ahah.

    • bigchunguss on 26/11/2020 - 15:30

      yeah i contacted them and was told 2TB. keen to hear what they say

        Yep I was told it should come with 2X1TB, otherwise they will escalate the issue as it was advertised as coming with 2 drives on the product page.

  • Kurt cobain on 26/11/2020 - 14:43

    Damn such a good deal, I would've been long asleep by the time this popped up tho lol

  • Tin man on 26/11/2020 - 16:04

    I’m sure this is not gonna be honored, but hopeful.🤞 Lesser speced omens are there for higher prices. Smile at me santa. I’ve been a good boy!

  • konakona on 26/11/2020 - 16:35

    Great deal for people who do need these specs & don't mind the form factor. Fairly certain they'll be honoured as well based on how HP support has been treating these orders.

    I just cancelled my order with support, after initially ordering with the intention of parting it out. Even after taking into account of keeping some parts I want and selling everything I don't need, I only end up with these parts effectively free: case (probably never gonna get used), motherboard (non-branded generic mATX Z390, not too useful), and the power supply (only worthwhile part since it's platinum rated). Some other parts may be worth more than what I'm giving them credit for, but it'd still take time and effort to get the full value out of them on the secondhand market. Decided it's not worth the effort in the end.

    Not sure if orders have closed for these systems yet, if they have, maybe one will pop up soon from my cancellation?

    • Bearboi on 26/11/2020 - 16:47

      Definitely not worth the effort to part out seperately, but you may do well by selling it as the package as is.

    • Tin man on 26/11/2020 - 16:48

      Damn, could have bought from you!

    • Ema000 on 26/11/2020 - 18:42

      I'm thinking of doing that myself, I could just sell the case, the motherboard, and the power supply for the price of getting myself a better Z390 MOBO

    • jkim on 26/11/2020 - 19:57
      +1

      I've no idea how you figure that out…
      2nd hand prices of these parts based on recent OCAU sales tells me this is worth between $1900 - $2250 depending on what's actually in there.

      Means you get to keep for "free" between $400 - $750 worth of stuff if you part and sell based on OCAU prices, more if ebay/gumtree/facebook is used as the selling platform.

      Also, I don't know if you can say the MB is a generic mATX… seems to have 3 x m.2. slots - so I'd assume it's ATX (no idea how they will fit 3 x m.2 slots on an mATX.

    • fastnet on 26/11/2020 - 20:21

      motherboard (non-branded generic mATX Z390, not too useful)

      Just because this is a prebuilt PC doesn't mean it's a generic bottom tier mATX motherboard. It's using a what HP calls, The Shire motherboard

      Likely custom built by a board partner for HP. Interactive System Board Viewer. Only the engineers who designed it would know for sure.

      • jkim on 26/11/2020 - 21:57

        Value of the mobo and psu depend on whether the 24 pin is standard or custom. If it requires pin remapping then they can only be flogged off as a package or to someone who is willing to figure it out i valued these at 200 - 400 depending on the 24pin configuration. The rest of the parts can be valued at 70 - 80% of "ozbargain new" prices… hence my 1900 - 2250 valuation.

  • Farrba on 26/11/2020 - 16:37

    i think am happy to pay 2k for this machine instead of the dell one. but how do people work during the day and stay until 2 am qld time to check ozbargain. i wonder if those who got one in the first few mins of this deal are from wa.

    A friend ordered one of these when it was out of stock at approx 10am Sydney Time, (6:47am AWST). He got charged and got an order confirmation but hasn't heard anything yet as at 10pm AWST 26/11. Time will tell if they have it in stock.

    Received my Omen at 9.11am in Sydney.

    Ordered 12.34am on 26 November 2020.

    Will confirm specs later.

    • 18 on 27/11/2020 - 09:17

      Can you please confirm if you got 2x 1tb SSDs?

        Can confirm the following:

        • CPU Cooler: AIO water-cooling for CPU. Looks to be 140mm.
        • SSD: Two 1TB Western Digital SN720 NVMe drives for a total of 2TB of storage.
        • PSU: HP part number L36918-003, 80+ Platinum certified.
        • GPU: Blower-style RTX 2080 Ti.

        My Omen looks like the Omen in this this video, including the GPU.

    • db87 on 27/11/2020 - 09:39

      1 day turn around? That's wicked! I'm spewing I missed out, I wanted to upgrade from my 2070s and I reckon this was a decent pathway with a part out.

      Couldnt get my wife's edu mail verified quick enough.

      Enjoy!

      So stupid that they can't keep track their own inventory and allow order to be made and paid for with no stock. And taking over 24 hours to realise there is no stock. You would think that is quite a basic thing to get right when running a business.

  • sprnv on 27/11/2020 - 10:12

    I wonder if it matters whether you ordered via the education portal or the corporate portal (probably not).

    If it gets cancelled then oh well, time to consider the Dell https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/584484

  • Garbotoxin on 27/11/2020 - 10:29

    HP just phoned me from a Spanish number at 11.40am and advised they'd cancelled my order which was placed yesterday morning around 7am and confirmed by HP's email. Reason for cancellation is they're out of stock and won't not be resupplying. HP said they would provide a 25% discount voucher off my next purchase. Was really looking forward to getting this machine but not unexpected that it's been cancelled.

  • friendlyfiend on 27/11/2020 - 13:32

    Anything worth using the 25% off voucher on?

    • hoverboardrider on 27/11/2020 - 13:53
      +2

      It's highly unlikely there's anything worth using the 25% off voucher for. The 25% off applies to non-promotional items I believe, and HP stuff I looked at has regular pricing well above 25% overpriced compared to other brands…so the voucher is mostly a useless con from HP who don't honour their sales…mind you they took the money, cancelled the order and haven't yet refunded…and to think the first HP product I ever bought had the transaction cancelled by HP…can't see myself trying HP again…

      • jkim on 27/11/2020 - 16:35

        25% off applies to all items including promo items, but will be issued in 24 - 48 hours (i.e. when BF sale is over).
