Spun replied to howard22 on MSI GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER GAMING X TRIO 8GB Graphics Card $1159 + Shipping @ Shopping Express
I'd consider a 2080 Super a good pairing for those specs *if* you have to buy now and can't wait for next gen. If you can wait a few months...

Spun replied to HugoBoss on MSI GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER GAMING X TRIO 8GB Graphics Card $1159 + Shipping @ Shopping Express
It's depressing that GPUs pushing $2000 are now considered to be a "crazy price". Unless when you say "crazy" you mean "insane" or...

Spun commented on AOC 27G2 27" Inch IPS 1ms 144hz FHD HDR FreeSync Gaming Monitor $348 Delivered (Paying with Afterpay) @ FFT eBay
This was really well reviewed by Hardware Unboxed. Like everyone else I'd love it if AOC made an equivalent monitor in a 1440p resolution.

Absolutely love Stablebit. I've run Scanner and Drivepool for years and they're the most stable and useful bits of software I own. Can't...

Much prefer Armor All Tyre Foam. It usually costs a few dollars more but it's so much easier to use and seems to last a lot longer. As...

Size? Budget? Resolution? What kind of work are you doing on it?

Used my concierge credit + discount code + Shopback cashback to score a Microsoft Sculpt mouse for < $15. Pretty happy with that.

We’ll be lucky to see the vanilla 3080 for under $1500. Covid + Supply chain issues + Australia tax is going to make next gen really hurt...

Says $528 on the listing page but it goes to $679 in my cart. What am I doing wrong?

@servicesaustralia.gov.au doesn't work either. Which is annoying because I would have been very happy with the 32" 4K for $425 :-(

Spun commented on Samsung Monitors - 27” CJG54 - $426.55, 32” CJG54 - $474.05, 32" UJ590 - $531.05 Delivered @ Samsung Education Store
Got excited before I realised these prices included the $50 sign up discount. $431 would have been my tipping point for the 32" UJ590.

$19 / $15 discount on the Uggs is pretty underwhelming. Pass.
