      i was thinking the exact same thing
      the WAF wouldnt be good with that case and the noise under the tv

      as far as running xbmc though, it would be decent

    • krisspy on 02/01/2013 - 13:57

      iirc the celeron uses a HD2000. This will struggle at high bitrate movies specially bluray images and 3d. Might need to drop in a dedicated gpu ~$40.

      • CarbonTwelve on 02/01/2013 - 14:03

        It's not even HD 2000, but I've seen people using this CPU with 1080p BluRay movies and haven't had problems.

    • [Deactivated] on 02/01/2013 - 14:42

      Not great.

      For starters it'll look terrible. It's full size ATX and that fun mix of silver and black. Not pretty.

      It wouldn't be incredibly loud, but you'd likely notice the fan noise.

      And the CPU would struggle with some things. Not be terrible or anything, just be maxed out and maybe drop a few frames here and there.

      It's more a for grandma or no-frills office or for the kids to do their homework on PC.

      • [Deactivated] on 10/01/2013 - 17:52

        That doesn't mean it can't be used as a cheap HTPC it just means it's not aesthetically pleasing at all. For this price those specs can't be bought on any ITX or "mini PC". I know that "mini PCs" or ITX systems can be found for slightly cheaper than that but they won't have those specs. This system is great for people with wall units where a big box can be hidden away with air flow that is muffled because it's cheap and has great performance you could even play some good games on it if you threw in a 7770 or something into it.

        • [Deactivated] on 10/01/2013 - 19:13

          Yes, that's exactly what I said. It can be used for it, but it's nothing approaching ideal.

    any deal on a monitor for this? like a 22inch

  • wog_ta on 02/01/2013 - 14:17

    Hi Visiontech, do you have any offers on any touch screen monitors for a desktop? Not sure whether you even sell any.

    Also what is the case that will come with the system, is it the on in the thumbnail? Just want to make sure it's not a micro pc.

    • Store RepVisionTech @ Vision Tech on 02/01/2013 - 14:37

      Hi wog_ta, none at the moment unfortunately. We will definately have something come up in the next 1-2 weeks if you can wait a little bit. Best source would be our website, once we get the stock they'll be online straight away. Alternatively if you'd like to email us @ [email protected] I can open an inquiry for you so a team member can call you when something comes in.

      • wog_ta on 02/01/2013 - 14:51

        yep sounds good, need to replace a faulty touch screen for work.

    Can this play the starcraft 2 that I picked up for 10 bucks on another deal.

    • [Deactivated] on 02/01/2013 - 14:46

      Would it play it? On low resolution, low detail… yes.

      Would it be enjoyable? Probably not. Would it be slow and jerky and look pretty bad? Yes, yes it would.

    • Store RepVisionTech @ Vision Tech on 02/01/2013 - 15:26

      Probably not mtran, you'd be okay for the first 5 minutes of the game until everyone starts troop spamming then you'd be rather frustrated. We could add in a graphics card which would improve this, but alternatively i'd suggest just go with something like this; http://www.visiontech.com.au/computers/desktops/gaming-media…

    • ItsMeAgro on 02/01/2013 - 15:40

      Maybe, but just spend the $50 or more on a GPU mate and you can play all the new games fairly nicely ($200 and you can play them on max settings, even).

    • karmageddon on 03/01/2013 - 07:25
      +1

      You could play it at 1080p on low at least, I imagine. SC2 scales down extremely well.

      That said, a cheap dedicated GPU would be of substantial benefit to this computer.

  • stickyfingers on 02/01/2013 - 14:46

    Just looked the parts up, around $225 to build it yourself, amazing deal!

    But please, the case, I mean for the price it's good, but the only way it might look good is if you were running Windows 95 on it.

      Soon check :P Come back next week, we're trying to close off a deal with the suppliers now for some high end graphics cards. If we get the price we're targeting next week will be exciting for our gamers out there :)

      • hesokay on 02/01/2013 - 15:36

        can you sell these high end graphics cards by themselves? :P

          Would be awesome if you can do a deal on Radeon 7870 or similar.

        • [Deactivated] on 10/01/2013 - 17:56

          All I've heard about this card is that it's about ~15% slower than a 680/7950 at about 66% of the price… It all adds up to be a bargain card where you get more than you pay for and that will probably be my next card, if not in crossfire!

  • GreatWhiteHunter on 02/01/2013 - 16:00

    Saw this on FaceBook. A good deal for what it is - but some of the upgrade costs are an absolute ripoff..

    Upgrade to 16gb RAM costs $118 - parts would cost less than half that…

    $40 to upgrade to 500gb HDD - unless you are using 2nd hand parts or old stock, the 500gb drives are actually cheaper than the 160gb!!

    What is the motherboard brand/model it is running on? I see it is a H61.

    Anyone thinking of buying this remember the $15.99 Windows 8 upgrade licenses….

  • Maz Man on 02/01/2013 - 17:36

    Hi VisionTech - quick question on postage, what would be the cost to North Qld - Townsville? One of my new years resolutions to help out my neighbour upgrade from his paperwieght.

    • Store RepVisionTech @ Vision Tech on 02/01/2013 - 17:45

      Ivan Maz? o.O I know a "Maz" from Townsville :P Freight should work out between $20-$30 for regional QLD. When you add to cart, you can "view cart" then enter a postcode for freight calculator. This will allow you to see the freight costs before you proceed to order the product.

      • Maz Man on 03/01/2013 - 00:29

        Not an Ivan… Us Maz's are around, never know which one you are talking to! :) Thanks VT, will pass it onto my neighbour.

    Why bother? No USB 3, no SATA_6, no SSD, cheapo HDD and a case that was obviously built in 1995. There is a price you simply can't drop lower with PC's otherwise you'll end up with crap. Even though that Celeron has no trouble playing 50GB BD .iso's, you shouldn't go lower than an i3 for an office box unless you are dead broke. The extra CPU grunt comes in handy every single time. I'd rather build a $500 box that lasts and lasts for 5yrs or so around an i3. You'll be replacing this in a few months.

    • [Deactivated] on 03/01/2013 - 07:20

      MOre to the point, if you still have something similar in your environment and were going to replace it, you wouldn't be able to give it away.

    • CarbonTwelve on 03/01/2013 - 08:01
      -1

      "You'll be replacing this in a few months", sorry, but I completely disagree. Home office tasks haven't needed fast CPUs in a long time, nor will they. I know plenty of people still using 10yo PCs for emails / Word / internet browsing, and this is much faster than those. If you were going to upgrade anything it'd be swapping the HDD for an SSD. This will give you a MUCH more noticeable improvement than an i3.

      • ethereal88 on 03/01/2013 - 15:57
        -3

        Wrong. 10yr old junk boxes belong in the bin. They are laughably slow for anything you can do with a browser. Even with an SSD. This isn't 2000. Browsers and the internet and the desktop have evolved. The i3 is a massive system wide improvement. You think that poky Celeron can open 2 or 3 pdf's, a dozen browser windows and run some background download tasks? What about the odd bit of video or audio encoding/rendering? A few touch up's here and there? The CPU still is and always will be vital.

    • [Deactivated] on 10/01/2013 - 17:59

      You just don't get it, it's not about the product, there will always be a better product, it's about the price. This site isn't called livingrich.com.au it is called ozbargain.com.au
