Operating System
Windows 10 Home, 64-bit, English

I'm no parts guru, but these might be comparable? And that's without build cost and Dell warranty.

Questionably another $500 or more in value

If you take dell's pricing, the extras comes to $922.29 or more.

FYI I went with the previous deal on the clearance R11, but the extra
'2 years of Premium Support and Onsite Service for $223.56' was appealing.

This deal with the extra warranty added is $3,535.77 via website with LOVEKEANU code.

However I spoke to customer service and they added the LOVEKEANU code and an extra discount bringing it to $3,493.50 delivered.

          thanks for sharing. debating if it's worth the hassle for the newer CPU which has debatable improvements, but potentially could get the white chassis i wanted… would need to cancel and reorder to avoid bungling up cashrewards.

  • drprox on 07/05/2021 - 18:02

    I mean the monitor is shit but appears to be worth something to sell anyway which is neat.

    • belongsinforums on 07/05/2021 - 18:21

      if you can sell the monitor for 400, you get a free keyboard, mouse, headset and extra 1tb of storage, and slightly upgraded cpu

    • starburstyellow on 07/05/2021 - 18:24

      You could just pay $450 to upgrade it to the QHD version. I personally only game in QHD now.

      • drprox on 08/05/2021 - 07:29

        Get negged for anything here. Yep already have a qhd monitor so that's why I was looking to part it out and surprised it had as much value as it did

        • starburstyellow on 08/05/2021 - 13:30

          Yeah surprised too. But I guess lots of CS:GO players out there wanting them high frame rates.

    WARNING!!!

    If you buy anything Alienware you will need to install AW Control/Command Center (it's that bad they can't even name it consistently) to control lights/fans/macros/sound.
    AWCC is possibly the worst SW ever created.
    It's 750Mb of pure trash, which then needs to spend hours or even days or might never download addition device components… and while it's trying to download or update or install you can't use it. And it might work fine initially, then break and the only way to recover is a full Windows reinstall.

    Did I mention the services it installs and the memory/cpu usage?

    • FireRunner on 08/05/2021 - 11:18

      My experience with AWCC isn't too bad. There's this weird "Alienware OC" control thing that sometimes asks to be installed but I can't overclock on a laptop so it asks to be uninstalled after but I just left it installed so it won't ask again.
      Either than that it works as expected

  • Feeblely on 07/05/2021 - 18:42

    Say in the future, I want to take everything to a new case and upgrade the motherboard/cpu only, is everything else reusable?

    • raybies on 07/05/2021 - 18:53
      +1

      CPU/Memory/Drives and maybe the GPU… the memory is JEDEC and slow.

      • FireRunner on 08/05/2021 - 11:20

        Why wouldn't the GPU be reusable?

        • raybies on 08/05/2021 - 13:35

          Sometimes Dell like to screw you w/ the PSU connector.

  • pharcyde on 07/05/2021 - 19:12

    Does Unidays discount work with this?

    • rtsanarchist on 09/05/2021 - 02:03

      Unidays codes would negate the $1800 discount on the total package. I just cancelled my R12 for this that I had used a Uniday code on when I couldn't stack discounts on the R11 sale about 4 weeks ago.

  • Eskeee on 07/05/2021 - 21:11

    Can't Cancel my R11 until Monday (no customer service over the weekends). Order this now and cancel on Monday or wait until Monday?

    • CereaL on 09/05/2021 - 01:03

      actually …. go to the main dell website and click the chat box that comes out from the side …

      i was able to cancel my existing order i placed a couple of days ago (did it around lunchtime on saturday) …. i got refunded within like 30 minutes …. NFI how they did that sooooo quick … ive never ever seen a refund back to my bank account that quick … EVER! and my bank doesnt have osko setup as its a prepaid debit mastercard … so yeh i have no idea how they did it

      give it a try tomorrow ;)

      • dmcneice on 09/05/2021 - 06:44

        The option is greyed out for me, seems ill have to wait til Monday

        • CereaL on 09/05/2021 - 11:34

          do it from the main dell.com.au website …. i just tried it and it worked :)

          don't do it from the order screen

          • dmcneice on 09/05/2021 - 11:54

            @CereaL: They wouldnt cancel my order. They would let me upgrade, but then id lose cashrewards.

              @dmcneice: What did they offer to upgrade? I'm also worried about losing $180 worth of CR!

              • dmcneice on 10/05/2021 - 10:33

                @jace88: They didnt offer anything, I could pay the difference to upgrade. I just cancelled this morning and reordered.

                • jace88 on 10/05/2021 - 16:35

                  @dmcneice: Cheers. I am happy with cancelling and ordering fresh to ensure I don't lose CR on the new system. The CPU upgrade sounds a bit hit or miss in terms of whether it's worth it but I'm happy I was able to get the white case.

    for people who interested to know

    I ordered an r12 back in 18/04/2021 and it entered production today.

    • AaronR on 09/05/2021 - 07:43

      With a 3080? Good to know, thanks!

      What was your original planned shipped date?

      I ordered on 25/4 for r12 3080 and I’ve not hit production yet.

    • pharcyde on 10/05/2021 - 10:24

      This is what I don't understand. I ordered the R12 on the 11/4 and still no update, rep told me that there was no ETA. How would yours be in production ahead of mine if you ordered a week later?

      • Mouse123 on 10/05/2021 - 15:33

        I was told it was an error and my order is indeed still on hold until 14/05

    • jace88 on 10/05/2021 - 10:26

      Damn, I assume the 3080's just arrived.

  • Feeblely on 08/05/2021 - 23:17

    Did anyone get the extra warranty? How good is dell with ACL for something that happens in 4 years?

  • l0nglive on 08/05/2021 - 23:26

    I bought the 3090 version with a stronger CPU, more ram, more SSD
    I am not sure but it seems very expensive compared to this. I don't do anything heavy other than gaming and retouch some videos for Facebook.

    Assume I sell the extra at discount, both options reflect their value as if the graphic cards are at MSRP.

  • vitagen on 09/05/2021 - 14:02

    got shipping date of 17th june delivered 30th

    wow…

  • jace88 on 10/05/2021 - 13:00

    Reading reviews of the 11700KF, I'm not sure if it's necessarily a clear upgrade over the 10700KF/10700K in tasks outside of AI/ML. Seems to be a dead heat between javascript rendering or launching Office apps, but it does do quite a bit better in say hashing/encryption activities.

    … so is it worth cancelling and starting over waiting (current order estimated to arrive 21/6/21), knowing it could also land me with a nerfed 3080. Hmm.

    UPDATE
    Decided to cancel. For <$100 difference but getting an 11th gen over 10th gen, seemed like it might just add that little bit more longetivity to it all.

    • jace88 on 10/05/2021 - 14:35

      CR tracked at $181.52

      • Feeblely on 10/05/2021 - 14:38

        What do you think of the 3 year warranty for $200?

        • jace88 on 10/05/2021 - 14:43

          I didn't go for it. I figured warranty/ACL will protect me if there's any major issues after the 1st year, and it isn't my sole PC so I'm not dependent on NBD service/support.

          That being said, Dell/Alienware's NBD onsite service is a good to have if you are someone who might benefit from it.

          Also note, for an order on 10/5 at about noon, ETA Jul 9, 2021

  • dmcneice on 10/05/2021 - 21:45

      They shipped the monitor before the PC?

      • Testeagle on 12/05/2021 - 10:10

        Yeah, Customer Service offered priority shipping if I recall, guess they applied it directly to monitor and shipped early. They sent 2 order numbers 1 for PC and 1 for monitor, so that may also have something to do with it. Nice screen, easy to put together, good image, better than the old AOC I had from the looks of it.

        • jace88 on 12/05/2021 - 10:38

          Ah interesting… I'm in two minds about keeping the monitor. It looks good, but just seems a bit pointless to have a 1080p 240Hz monitor on an RTX 3080. Debating to sell it and just buy a 1440p panel.

          • Testeagle on 12/05/2021 - 12:23

            @jace88: Yeah I'm looking at 27" maybe up to 34" monitors at the moment. 27" is probably good for my desk size. Not sure what's good tho haha.

    • jace88 on 12/05/2021 - 13:32

      Check the responses to the last time you asked this question on the R11 (which is fundamentally the same as the R12).

      • tagin on 12/05/2021 - 15:07

        OK thanks. was wondering if the R12 was any different in form factor.

  • jace88 on 19/05/2021 - 09:57

    Given the NVIDIA announcement that the cards being shipped from them late May will feature the limited hash rate, should we read that to mean as long as the build is already completed prior to late May, they should be still have the original unlimited cards? I can only assume they don't differentiate between AIB partners whether it be EVGA or Dell/etc.

    https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2021/05/18/lhr/?ncid=afm-chs-4…

    As for those who ordered this deal, at least for me, my R12 isn't scheduled to ship until late June with delivery in second week of July. Question is when does is enter the build phase.

    • dmcneice on 20/05/2021 - 07:00

      Yeh I just read this too. I'll be pissed if I get an inferior product, given I purchased the deal before the announcement…

      • jace88 on 20/05/2021 - 10:48
        +1

        My PC hasn't got to the build stage so there's a chance the "new" GPUs are included. Even if I don't plan to hardcore mine, the reality is it impacts future resale value of the PC/GPU.

          +1

          Agree. My point exactly. They were advertised as gtx 3080s, not gtx 3080 lhr, which is what nvidia states they will be doing.

      • jace88 on 31/05/2021 - 10:39

        In their words they don't believe it will be LHR based on the current stock…. but it didn't seem very definitive to me, and I'm thinking of just cancelling anyway.

        • couger on 31/05/2021 - 10:44

          I will just wait for it to arrive, if it is LHR return it back. Shall receive full refund, because the is a major difference between non-LHR and LHR card.

    Wonder if we'll be upgraded to this if it's easier to obtain :D

    • couger on 03/06/2021 - 16:18

      but at what price. given 3080 selling at around $3000 most places, 3080ti maybe at $3500, even dell's will be at least $400 more.

            @AaronR: That sucks. But one thing I have learned with dell. Orderss don't seem to be processed in the sequence they are made. Ie someone who ordered a system a week after you can still get their system before you.

            I ordered May 4 (before this deal was posted) and still have the 'about to enter production' comment on my order. Expected ship date June 16.

              @PlagueistheCheap: Wow really? What colour/cpu/cooling/etc did you order?

                  @PlagueistheCheap: Bad words just came out of my mouth.

                  Well, let’s see when mine ships!

                    @AaronR: Just finished build heading to sorting centre. So looks like it heading out.

                    I don't know what to say. I do feel for you, it's just not fair. As I commented last week, dell doesn't seem to have a proper queue. Just batches and sometimes you get lucky.

        I received communication from customer support that the package is pending on GPU stock, which had an ETA of 8th/Jun but now pushed to 17th. Guess no one will get to production until then.

    I was told they will give me Hashrate for RTX 3080 is 98 MH/s- one. Told them will cancel if I receive less than that. They emailed me so I have evidence. I asked about shipping saying I should receive mine 9th-12 July
