No longer bringing in.

saw on the pricelist, cause i saw that the powercolor 7970 has been reduced to 380, if the msi lightning (if have stock) goes around the price of the msi r9 280x I might hoot

edit: i know there was a clearance sale, and i missed the boat

 

[ctstalin]

If you can buy the 7970 powercolor at $380. Might as well top up powercolor r9 280x at $404. Although it is a rebadge lah. But im sure you can bargain your way thru for the r9 280x to be somewhere lower.

Went to PCT just now. They do have stocks for MSI R9 280X and Gigabyte. Asus only left one V2.

Awesome. Is the MSI one a good buy at $499?

Main reason I'm considering only MSI is because Corbell is near me.

SRP is $479

Go tradepac see got stock or not. $440 is one of the price you should be able to get.

Dealing with tradepac I realized got to very alert & careful. I changed my requirements a dew rimes during the purchase. Their price is good but if any discrepancies only they will makan you, don't expect to have any accidental discounts.

The standard case is some ugly Vios thing with orange bits. I changed to inwin 644. The case upgrade cost $50 more after a trade-off. And finally $20 for assembly.

The packaged system cost was $300. My final price $370.

Should be no service charge as we chose based on their package system. I upgraded to a different case only. Did like the vios case with orange parts.

When I think back, it's I open my big mouth.. I was there half hour & working out different options. Stressed already. The guy talk to me every 2 sentence attend to someone else. And he told me got to wait 2 hours for assembly. The price actually finalized already. Don't know why I blur blur asked assembly how much. He said $20 & I just went with flow & gave $20 more. Although I stupidly offered to him he could have said no

That's why after payment I keep feeling something is wrong until I realized now.

$432 is a decent pricing lah. They didn't chop you. If I were to quote all this things it is still the same price.

CPU+mobo ~ $226
4gb ram ~ $43
500gb HDD ~ $60
Lg DVD ~ $24
Classing with PSU ~ if you claim is inwin actually $70.
Assembly fee ~ $20

Total $443. He gave you $10 discount for bundle. Although there's no room for much bargaining. So yes the price they gave you was right.

Standard reply lol. When there is no stocks for certain stuffs. Even how good the item is, they will say its lousy. I have a friend whom went there ask for seasonic platinum series. They also say the same thing. Lousy PSU, on already booms.

Those 2 boards, only the Asrock H87 performance is value for money. And the features they offer i have to say is good.

sometimes u gotta be fierce and firm with them so that you wont stand there and waste your time waiting.

 

[Umbrella Corporation]

can get parts from them , mostly cheapest you can find . Make sure you check the packaging and the seal are not broken . They are famous to open up items for customers to see see touch touch , put back and resell .

And do not assemble your PC there , very rough work .
My friend fix her com there and the direction of a intake fan was position to output ...

Best is you fix yaself or get some other service .

Lastly , ALWAYS ask for best price , they can really discount even further more ..
