    • freefall101 on 07/05/2021 - 14:13

      Would be lucky if prices are still that high by the time it arrives. Stock is trickling out, mwave had them in stock for $2k last week, PCByte has multiple models in stock right now for $2800-2900.

      • [Deactivated] on 07/05/2021 - 14:16

        Prices are increasing for 3080s still. Most places that were selling them for $1999 last week are selling them for $2200+ this week. I don't see it getting better this year.

        That being said, you won't get $3500 for this 3080.

        • freefall101 on 07/05/2021 - 14:20

          Yeah, $2k won't happen again anytime soon (or at least will need very quick reflexes if it does), but anyone buying this would be way better off just buying it to get a gaming rig at a half reasonable price, not for flipping anything. Would be lucky to make it back on the second hand market.

          edit: Looking around I can find them from $2500 in stock right now. I forgot how good fridays are. Might even pick up a 3060ti for $1500. Not a good price but at least I can get it in stock.

      Yep, one of the worst companies I've had to deal with for warranty issues. I wouldn't touch anything Dell without a 3-year warranty, and even then I expect to have issues.

      It's a shame because the technicians have always been good to deal with and I like their designs. The sales and customer service teams are just horrendous.

      I got one year warranty on a previous Dell deal. What am I in for? I figured the ACCC would have my back for any real issues that appeared within the first 3 years on a +$3000 computer.

        The ACCC won't do anything for you. That isn't their job. If anything happens to your PC after 12 months Dell will try to charge you for it.

        • teslacoil33 on 07/05/2021 - 18:10

          From their website:

          "Under the Australian Consumer Law, automatic consumer guarantees apply to many products and services you buy regardless of any other warranties suppliers sell or give to you."

          Am I misinterpreting that?

            +1

            @teslacoil33: Nope, your purchase should be covered by a statutory warranty under ACL and Dell should fix the issues for free after the express warranty expires. However, Dell won't do that (or at least will try not to) and the ACCC will not help you (they don't respond to individual complaints). If you go through my comment history on XPS deals you can read my experiences with this.

            The ACCC has prosecuted Dell for breaching ACL in the past but nothing has changed.

      Never buying Dell ever again after blowing $2,500 on an XPS laptop that lasted two years. Had 3 motherboards replaced with the same overheating nVidia 8400 GPU. Once my extended warranty ran out they refused to replace my motherboard, apparently my previous replacements were all gratis. Oh but I could finally now buy a replacement motherboard with non overheating intel graphics for $1,000. Ended up buying a HP laptop for the same price which is still going after 11 years so get lost Dell.

      Check on this and RAM looks like ok for many RAMs, including recent deals.

      I normally check MSY and compare with online shops if no ozbargain deals.

      You may want to purchase soon, as RAM is set price increase in following months.

        MSY at the end of the street, sorted. $239 for non-RGB 2x16gb 3200mhz.

        Sorry if this is basic question, if I stick with 3200mhz HyperX Fury ram, is there any issues with getting 2x16gb to go with the 2x8gb. i.e. 48gb of ram all up? Might help a bit on the ol' Chia plotting.

  • Tachines on 07/05/2021 - 14:48

    This may come with updated 3080 which locks mining, won't sale anywhere near $2000

    • steve84 on 07/05/2021 - 15:21

      Have nvidia actually confirmed when lite has rate 3080s will start being produced? 3080 ti will be hash rate limited but not seen confirmation on 3080 yet

      • Tachines on 07/05/2021 - 15:31

        Nvidia has no obligation to "confirm" when to rollout new 60ti/70/80 with lite hash rate before they actually hit market, but it's quite obvious this will happen no later than 70ti/80ti launch. So from late May, it's more of a gamble if you plan to take new card for resale/mining.

        • steve84 on 07/05/2021 - 15:37

          Why would it be obvious that it won’t happen any later than Ti launch? Reports I’ve read mentioned it would happen after. Also they may need to be careful about how “quietly” they do introduce it. They can’t just degrade performance of a card without users being informed. Don’t think that would fly in Australia at least

            @steve84: Yes the ACCC has our back here. Regardless of the manufacturers/retailers claims or marketing surrounding a product, it's perfectly reasonable to assume that a product that can do X will continue to do X unless specifically advising it no longer will.

            The ACCC say "fit for all the purposes for which goods of that kind are commonly supplied" and I think Nvidia posting their quarterly earnings which illustrate exactly why a percentage of the population are purchasing these devices is proof enough.

            That being said, it would be a bit crazy if they released chips that gimped the hash rate without any warning. Why would they risk legal issues and returns? It's an obviously avoidable nightmare.

              1. The ACCC doesn't have anybody's back - they don't take up individual complaints and are completely feckless.

              2. Dell hasn't made any representations about their systems' suitability for mining and NVIDIA has explicitly said their consumer GPUs are not intended to be used for mining.

              3. NVIDIA has said their products will be hashrate limited in the future.

              The ACCC say "fit for all the purposes for which goods of that kind are commonly supplied" and I think Nvidia posting their quarterly earnings which illustrate exactly why a percentage of the population are purchasing these devices is proof enough.

                @[Deactivated]: Regardless of how legally complicated it might be.. it’s simple to understand that if Nvidia start selling a new revision of 3080 without making it possible for a prospective buyer to know that it is a new revision - that will cause them problems and for what? It’s not like they’re losing out here. Cards would be selling for above MSRP without factoring in miners.

                  @steve84: What problems? I don't work in this area of law but I can't think of any causes of action for that. The offences in ACL relating to misleading conduct in trade or commerce do not apply since neither Dell nor NVIDIA have made any representations about it being suitable for mining. You can't mislead someone without saying anything about it. The fact a small portion of users (which crypto is in comparison to gaming and content production) have used it for a particular purpose recently against manufacturer's recommendations is not significant to its primary purpose.

                    @[Deactivated]: Nvidia acknowledge their cards are used for mining. They validated that use case by developing dedicated mining cards which are basically the same thing without video outputs lol. So clearly there are people who’ve bought 3080s in full or part because of their mining capability. In full knowledge of this to then reduce the performance without properly informing customers I believe would be a legal problem.
                    Regardless that wasn’t the problem I was mainly referring to. It would piss off a bunch of people, including gamers who intend to crypto mine on the side. That’s a PR problem

      Don't think Nividia really could, unless they do a re-design which could only work by newer driver, which is very unlikely in this setup. Even new driver comes with limiter, miner would just use old driver, like what they are doing with 3060ti.

    But does it come with a ring sizer?

      game changer

    • Testeagle on 07/05/2021 - 15:04

      If you hit up customer support they might throw one in. I actually hit up customer support as I wanted the
      "3Yrs Premium Support and Onsite Service
      Alienware recommended
      Limited time : Select 3 years of Premium Support for the price of 2
      + $223.56"

      Deal via website was $3,535.77 with LOVEKEANU

      They added the LOVEKEANU code and an extra discount to $3,493.50

      So a ringer sizer might be a go.

      • homersyd on 07/05/2021 - 16:29

        Sorry just wondering why you had to reach out to customer support for that? Cant you just select it before adding to cart? Just trying to understand how to get the extra warranty + discount via chat?

        So you ended up paying over the phone?

        • Testeagle on 07/05/2021 - 17:02

          I had an existing order and asked if they could add that discounted warranty to my existing order. They said they couldn't. I also asked if that wasn't possibly, can I just cancel and order the new one, which they offered me a discount on, originally without the LOVEKEANU discount.

          I ended up being sent and invoice at a lower price and paying via credit card.

          • homersyd on 07/05/2021 - 17:03

            @Testeagle: damn, I thought u meant we can get extra discount for this current deal lol
            Good on ya though

              @homersyd: Honestly, as this isn't clearance stock now, you could try your luck. Technically they discounted the already discounted price, just I had added the extra warranty.

              Personally I like the extra protection added for only a couple of hundred bucks.

      • jace88 on 10/05/2021 - 13:08

        I think the catch is whether or not you get the CR though.

    Just in time for classic BC, bought 10 thx OP

    • Testeagle on 07/05/2021 - 15:13

      Don't let me get sucked back in… I went back for Classic already…

    went to cancel my R11 order and re-ordered this instead.

    • Testeagle on 07/05/2021 - 15:40

      I did that. I added the extra warranty for 2 years for $233.56.

      • jar-unit on 07/05/2021 - 16:32

        Did you get the 3 years for the price of 2 as it is currently showing?

        • Testeagle on 07/05/2021 - 17:03

          Yes, that's what I got.

    • belongsinforums on 07/05/2021 - 17:51

      why?

  • Mouse123 on 07/05/2021 - 15:25

    delivery time is an issue for these deals

  • Sparky on 07/05/2021 - 16:02

    Can't see the new gen Alienware PCs with Ryzen CPUs. Appears that Dell favours Intel.

      I thought it was obvious….both blue teams?!

      Aurora R10 was the last one with Ryzen

  • Snifflecub on 07/05/2021 - 16:22

    Is it worth upgrading to dell's 1440p monitor?

    • FireRunner on 07/05/2021 - 16:57

      As in the QHD 165Hz monitor? Definitely

      • Snifflecub on 07/05/2021 - 18:13

        Dell alienware AW2721D

        • FireRunner on 07/05/2021 - 22:27

          $494 extra seems a bit steep. You can get the the Dell S2721DGF QHD 165Hz monitor for under $500 during sales. You can buy the monitor with the upgrade cash and either have a dual monitor setup or resell the old one for a fair price.
          I know it's not quite as good 165Hz vs 240Hz and FreeSync (G-Sync compatible) instead of G-Sync Ultimate but it doesn't seem worth it imo

  • jar-unit on 07/05/2021 - 16:45

    Theres going to be alot of these monitors up for sale

  • huey on 07/05/2021 - 17:41

    Delivery times changed to 35–43 business days

    Got offered this as a free upgrade when I tried to cancel my R11 deal. Worth a try for those who got the regrets.

    • denlife on 07/05/2021 - 18:59

      What did you get as a free upgrade? I'm in the same boat with R11, cheers

      • cc23 on 07/05/2021 - 19:13

        The same as I’d ordered, but R12

        • denlife on 07/05/2021 - 19:18

          ok nice work cheers

        • denlife on 07/05/2021 - 19:20

          did it change your delivery date?

          • cc23 on 07/05/2021 - 21:47

            @denlife: I cancelled and resisted the offer to upgrade, think it didn't change it though

            • blues99 on 10/05/2021 - 10:54

              @cc23: Did they offer you the 11700F or KF processor do you know? I'm not sure if it is worth trying - might be worth it for KF (given I'm planning to improve the shipped cooling solution) but doesn't seem worth it for the 11th gen F variant give performance so similar to 10th gen and I presume the cashback would be lost with a new order.

                @blues99: It was the F not KF, I think if it was KF I would have taken it.
