I purchased one of these for my mum, but had to get it delivered due to no local store. Unfortunately, it has arrived with the Motorola…

Excellent deal and am tempted, but guessing it'll mostly be a side-grade and not worth the hassle of switching from an Intel Core I5 12600K.
12/05/2025 - 20:19
I was certain this couldn't be real, but then I wondered why would someone waste their time creating an elaborate tale within the comments…

Can you at least provide the boxes for the processor heatsink and video card due to the weight and likelihood of them being damaged during…

I'm not convinced the ETA is correct. The Sapphire Pulse is still in stock at other retailers (although, at $1,299), and surely they're all…

Yeah, it's pretty dodgy. However, I'll give credit where credit is due. At least Centre Com provides free shipping and reserves the stock…

It's a sign of the times. We're paying significantly more for less, and not just for video cards, but everything. The RX 9070 XT isn't a…
07/03/2025 - 02:24
If you're worried, Centre Com still have them in stock at the same price. Pathetically, the Sapphire Pulse was meant to be one of the MSRP…

Few things. First, PC Case Gear needs to fire their web development team. They clearly have no idea about web application scalability…

No offence, but half of you are parrots that regurgitate the same talking points whilst having no practical experience with the product…
25/02/2025 - 01:36
Care to elaborate? If you're aware of the drawbacks (i.e., poor performance for hardware configurations lacking ReBAR and in games using…
13/02/2025 - 15:12
I did some research on this prior to purchasing, and the consensus was that the brand was perfectly fine, but uncommon beyond Chinese…
13/02/2025 - 14:04
Certainly not an expert in this area, but my feeling is that the A580 for $259 or A750 for $299 might be the better value options for your…

That's for Nvidia (and presumably, AMD) graphics cards. Intel's drivers are not optimised for configurations lacking Resizable Bar (i.e.,…
12/02/2025 - 19:41
I preemptively contacted Centre Com regarding the promotion, and all of the Intel graphics card models (inclusive of the B580 which this…

Essentially halves the performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=378GPJH5Pdk

If you'd prefer a different brand, Scorptec has the ASRock Challenger OC model for $449 (sans the $14 discount obviously):…

MAXSUN Milestone Intel Arc B580 12GB GDDR6 Graphics Card (Redeem Assassin's Creed Shadows) $435 Delivered @ Centre Com

... and they've removed 'Dishonored 2' from the store without remediating the issue. Absolute amateur hour.
11/02/2025 - 18:31
I was tempted, but the price has increased to $719 ($705 with coupon code **MINGLES**).
10/02/2025 - 19:10
Yeah, Humble Bundle's payment backend is broken. Oddly, I could purchase a book bundle, but nothing from the store.
10/02/2025 - 01:19
Doesn't it work out cheaper to simply buy the 'XCOM 2 Collection' (which includes the base game) for $12.19 AUD from Steam (unless Steam…
09/02/2025 - 17:40
Use the coupon code **MINGLES** to save an additional $14 (effectively removes the credit card surcharge).
08/02/2025 - 22:18
Starting to piss me off that Amazon won't delivery any of these items regionally anymore. Currently, the Prime subscription doesn't feel…

I churned my FTTP service from Leaptel to Superloop at 11:40PM last night and the service was active within 40 minutes. The whole process…

Fingers crossed there will be an equivalent deal for Black Friday. Would I be stupid purchasing these now if I don't need them for another…
19/11/2024 - 22:47
Great deal (relatively speaking). I was waiting for the 'Origin' edition to go on sale for approximately $474 (which was the previous ATL),…
19/11/2024 - 18:33
I've previously purchased both the Quest 1 and Quest 2, but sold both a while ago. I recall the experience with the Quest 2 being a bit…

Thanks for that. I believe I have an unused Amaysim somewhere, so hopefully that can be temporarily activated instead. Doesn't look like…
