| 742407 | 2009-01-27 09:18:00 | How much exactly of a rip is this (www.trademe.co.nz) and this (www.trademe.co.nz)? | Blam (54) | ||
| 742408 | 2009-01-27 09:21:00 | Both a rip off in my opinion. That first one especially! For the first, check prices on Pricespy. It does seem too high though - look on the comments: "Sorry I wouldn't take 10 grand but I would take 12 grand." I don;t think a machine, even that one, is worth $12k. With the second one, if they had a Core 2 processor and a better graphics card for the same price it might not be such a rip off. Neither come with a monitor. And they say "All warranty claims to be directly to the manufacturer." Good luck getting through! :p And the old "don't buy computers from TradeMe" applies here too. |

| 742411 | 2009-01-27 10:04:00 | Well, the first one says 'everything', so that includes a ridiculous price. And the second one couldn't even get the pic right - auction says a Cooler Master case but an Antec 1200 is shown. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 742412 | 2009-01-27 17:12:00 | Someone should go through the list and get their own figures, then post the lot. See if the idiot replies | Myth (110) | ||
| 742413 | 2009-01-27 19:09:00 | Well, the first one says 'everything', so that includes a ridiculous price. And the second one couldn't even get the pic right - auction says a Cooler Master case but an Antec 1200 is shown. The auction also says, "Photo for refence only. The actual product is different." I presume they can put what they like in the system and you will have no recourse. |

| 742415 | 2009-01-27 19:34:00 | Someone should go through the list and get their own figures, then post the lot. See if the idiot replies Thought thats a good idea - so I did - built it as if getting the parts from Ascent - with the exception of the sound card, and the TV tuner they didn't have - other places did. using the same Components from Trademe as listed price from Ascent $11165.95 Just so anyone wants to see how the prices fall - heres the spreadsheet (www.imagef1.net.nz) BUT if someone was going to build a PC with those spec's they would build it them selves. Edited: Those prices in the spread sheet - I didn't put in the cents on all components. Wholesale prices were not looked at - may do that later. |

| 742416 | 2009-01-27 20:43:00 | $1647 for the case WT?...I think I'm gonna piss myself laughing......oops, I did!..... I thought Lian Li pushed their luck with pricing...If anybody wanted to buy that awful pimped case, they deserve to be ripped off.... I would prefer a Silverstone or Lian Li any day, understated style does more for me than over the top pimping... |
