          DIY is usually cheaper, not best. If I get my wife to build one, it won't be the best. I would rather give her a PC with 2-3 years warranty with online/phone support.

          • Obkay on 02/08/2021 - 16:54

            @onlinepred: Strange choice of hypothetical but yeah… if you dont know how to DIY, obviously go for a prebuilt.

            • onlinepred on 02/08/2021 - 17:47

              @Obkay: Given most pc buyers don’t know how to build their own, and even if they did, given the price, it’s still great value. You can get better individual parts for maybe less if you build your own. Not worthy of a neg.

    Op, might be worthwhile linking through to each of the models you listed and calling out some of the other specs eg air cooled vs liquid cooled. I did something similar when there were some good R11/R12 deals with LOVEKEANU and whilst I don't dispute some of the points raised by GamersNexus, the SKU which he reviewed (and the same one linked above in this deal) appears to be a lower end SKU. Some of the comments about cooling performance could have been alleviated with the AIO.

  • ColdFusion on 02/08/2021 - 15:02

    These are really not worth the money unless you want to buy a plastic shell and a discount intel socket stock cooler strapped to a AMD socket. over 90 degrees is fine for a cpu right….

      With Australian Consumer Laws you're well covered even if it did cook itself. For this price you'll get warranty cover for probably 5 years under ACL.

        Dude, Why would you buy such a badly built machine knowing that it will blow! /Then you'd be on the phone to the ACL for months to get a warranty.

        • MrFunSocks on 02/08/2021 - 15:22

          Well you don't know it will blow, and I bought it knowing that it runs very hot and that it's very easy to make it run at normal temperatures with a cpu liquid cooler and a VRM heat sink. And again - warranty. It wouldn't take months on the phone lol.

              @Naigrabzo: Thanks, my H60 and VRM Heatsinks will be here next week :). I'm not afraid of using a warranty if need be either.

              • Naigrabzo on 03/08/2021 - 09:08

                @MrFunSocks: I never realized Dell warranty was good. I got a cheap 4k monitor recently and it came with 3 years. I'd better keep those receipts etc.

    • Heaps for Cheaps on 02/08/2021 - 16:58

      I lost a bit of respect for Gamers Nexus when I found out they would buy an item to review and then sell it.

      I'm a bit tired of receiving open-boxed items as new because reviewers want a cheapo way to review.

      • Ezekiel2320 on 02/08/2021 - 19:30

        Sounds like you should be mad at stores selling used components as "new"?

      • nbates66 on 03/08/2021 - 14:18

        You prefer reviewers to receive products for free under the agreement of following the manufacturer "marketing points"? (yes they don't all do this but it's always something to watch for.)

        • Heaps for Cheaps on 03/08/2021 - 14:20

          No. I prefer reviewers take the same road as consumers do and purchase the items from retail.

      • jace88 on 05/08/2021 - 19:38

        I didn't know GN do that but it depends how they sell it… if it's sold as used/open box and in their case, clearly described as dismantled/reassembled with presumably no chance of warranty coverage, that's a very different sentiment to returning it to the retailer who then sells it as open box to an unknowing consumer at a slight discount.

  • narcoleptic-haze on 02/08/2021 - 15:35

    I'll give their customer support an A. I previously bought one of the huge Area 51 computers, but after getting it, it didn't live up to my expectations (I was using it for more than just gaming - and it was an enormous step up from my current machine at the time). Even though I had opened it and had been using it for nearly a week I told them the situation, and they happily accepted a return for a full refund. They even paid for the return shipping. It was a really good experience in the end, only let down by Intel's CPU at the time.

    • Naigrabzo on 02/08/2021 - 16:27

      I stand corrected!!!

  • Winston100s on 02/08/2021 - 15:54

    Not a bad deal, but if paying this much I'd rather have gotten the XPS with the 10700k. it was $2100, so you have $500 to spend on a decent power supply, a mother board and a case with better airflow.

  • Ryxxi on 02/08/2021 - 16:01

    Pretty much what 1st comment says. They stuff in Trash components.

  • mrtee on 02/08/2021 - 16:10

    What rtx 3070 is this?

    • Austere on 02/08/2021 - 17:31

      It's the Dell OEM one, seemingly better than what most named brands are selling

  • CuteWittleCorgi on 02/08/2021 - 16:13

    For those saying not to buy this, what do you suggest buying instead?

      • MrFunSocks on 02/08/2021 - 17:19

        To get this up to the same spec as the Alienware it costs ~$3k + shipping though. Add Windows 10 (+$169) + 500gb NVMe (+$49) + wifi mobo (+$159) + 2TB hdd (+$39) + 850W Gold power supply (+$129). That's also with no liquid cooling.

        • Obkay on 02/08/2021 - 17:36
          -3

          Thats how dell nabs you, by pumping up the specs with low quality parts.
          It doesnt change the quality or reliability just big number go big.

          • MrFunSocks on 02/08/2021 - 19:03

            @Obkay: But what are the low quality parts? Cpu and gpu are top tier. RAM is good. PSU is very good. So just the fan is low quality then?

            What on your links machine is higher quality than the Alienware?

            • jace88 on 05/08/2021 - 15:34

              @MrFunSocks: How do you define GPU as being 'top tier'? In terms of the chip, or the actual board/cooling/etc?

              That being said, both Techfast and the R10 in this deal have their flaws, but I'd say at least the Techfast PC is using non proprietary parts which can always be used elsewhere…. but I'd probably trust Alienware/Dell support more.

            • Obkay on 03/08/2021 - 16:11

              @Freestyle: Ive built a few gaming pcs and spent months of research on all the components before each one. Ive got a good idea of what im talking about.

              • MrFunSocks on 03/08/2021 - 17:19

                @Obkay: So I'll ask again - What on your links machine is higher quality than the Alienware?

  • bailbondsh on 02/08/2021 - 17:07

    Ok. Once again. I'm still looking for a good gaming PC, but also for everything else for a business professional. Would one of these would you recommend?

  • belongsinforums on 02/08/2021 - 18:01

    Buy if you're willing to wait 6 months, as dell asked me to after purchasing

    • Obkay on 02/08/2021 - 18:07

      If you complain they can gift you an alienware headset and keyboard as my friend found out.

      • belongsinforums on 02/08/2021 - 18:25

        I asked for a refund. They obliged

      • rtsanarchist on 02/08/2021 - 23:57

        I was offered a mouse that already came with my bundle, I sent a screenshot showing it already came with it and they told me that's all they could offer. I asked for a refund.

    • CuteWittleCorgi on 02/08/2021 - 23:58

      So… OOS then?

      • belongsinforums on 03/08/2021 - 00:29

        theyll tell you they have stock. theyll say itll arrive in a month or two. then theyll delay days after the estimated delivery date and make you wait another 4 months

        • Sammyboy on 06/08/2021 - 20:31

          That was from this listing? Was going to buy, but if have to wait 4 months, there will probably be better deals by then

  • King Noez on 02/08/2021 - 18:51

    If anyone is after a better system there is Kraken Power MSI Dragongaming System With RTX 3060Ti at Bcptech for 1800$. These dell desktops seem dodgy

      Figured I'd help since I had a look at any decent 3070 rigs for similar prices…. curious if I should get the Alienware one and just put a liquid cooler on there for the CPU and be done with it.

      • King Noez on 02/08/2021 - 21:39

        Yeah thats it and nah bet you would be better off not going the alienware route you can see gamers nexus review on Alienware R10 its very average.

        • MrFunSocks on 06/08/2021 - 08:29

          keep in mind he's reviewing the 3060 version, not the 3070 version, which is a much better deal. The heating issues are simple to solve at about $150 cost - drops the CPU temp from 80-90 degrees c down to 50-60 which is perfectly fine.

  • Mightko on 03/08/2021 - 09:45

    The prices are reasonable. But there is a number of deal breakers here:

    1. The system won't last long for gaming; that's one of the reasons Dell is only offering 1 year of warranty.

    2. Poor performance CPU cooler, Dell really should not cheat on this part. (A good CPU cooler can be really cheap, particularly with Dell's bargaining power.)

    3. Single channel of 16GB RAM, you need to purchase another 16GB channel of RAM to match it.

    4. Poor case cooling design and loud noises for gaming.

    Over the last 10 to 20 years, DIY components become such high quality that the pre-builds became comparatively very underwhelming.

    In other words, DIY components are now much better, I believe many good Youtube channels did a great job keeping poorly built products at bay.

    • MrFunSocks on 03/08/2021 - 17:20

      Doesn't matter what warranty they provide, ACL got you covered.

  • skhan86 on 05/08/2021 - 13:37

    Apparently non-LHR 3070's in there boys. Confirmed by Dell AU eBay.

  • skhan86 on 05/08/2021 - 14:35

    Apparently - these are non-LHR 3070's in these systems.

  • TheCandyMan2020 on 30/08/2021 - 00:00

    A lot of haters of these systems, but I got this bundle a few months ago

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/621849

    $3327.85 delivered

    I immediately initiated a return on the monitor and they gave me $829.95 back.

    Sold the keyboard, mouse and headset for a total of $250.

    So remaining 3080 system cost me around $2250.

    It isnt silent, but it's not stupidly noisy gaming at 3840 x 1600 (Apex Legends).

    For mine it's far better than the techfast systems.
