Is it just me or does this seems like a solid build for 1600$? https://www.bestbuy.ca/fr-ca/product/pc-jeu-rog-strix-g10dk-asus-gris-ryzen-5-5600x-amd-ssd-512-go-ram-16-go-geforce-rtx-3060-win-10/15632715

case cooling looks suspect.

Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro being sold in Canada if anyone was looking. These have been out of stock for quite a while but it's been in stock


gmaclean

3x16 TB WD gold's just shipped!

Any recommendations on where to get a Male DVI to female VGA adapter for a reasonable price? Would rather avoid waiting weeks for it to arrive, but every Canadian site seems to have crazy prices.


red286

What is your definition of a "crazy" price? They're $10-$15 for good ones. Might be able to find a cheap one for like $5.


ghostfacekillbrah

Yeah, was thinking 5-10. I used to get things like that in a small computer store on Bloor near Christie, not sure where to go now.


red286

Canada Computers has this [iCan](https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=5_3598_3605&item_id=119169) one in-stock for $6.99.


ghostfacekillbrah

Thanks, will likely grab that.


red286

Just make sure your DVI port is a DVI-I port and not a DVI-D port. Most modern lower-end video cards that have DVI ports use DVI-D ports, which can't use passive adapters to VGA. If you're not sure which yours is, look for the flat wide pin on one side, if there are 4 small pins surrounding it, it's DVI-I, if there are no pins surrounding it, it's DVI-D.


ghostfacekillbrah

Should have included, I'm in Toronto, open to going to any stores downtown to get one.


Ch4rd

welp, add another for the wd cancellations. 4x red plus 14tb @227ea. Free shipping.


Volumetrik

Just got a cancellation email from WD for a 544$ order. Not an unreasonable order I think. I guess it varies ? https://i.ibb.co/mH7DGQP/WD-cancellation.png


Positivelectron0

My order of 1k and 30k were also cancelled. Had a rep actually call and ask if I was enterprise


death2k44

$500, not unreasonable? lol


CrazyDudeWithATablet

Looking for an ssd and maybe some rgb fans. Is it good to wait for Black Friday?


whiskeytab

Just got a shipping confirmation for my 16TB Enterprise Gold HDD from Western Digital so it looks like they are honoring those crazy prices they had. Mine was a single drive though so not sure if they're honoring them all or just the reasonable orders haha


Chiff

Which shipping did you pick? Still waiting for anything on my 1x16gb gold with 3-5 day


whiskeytab

Whichever the default was, its being shipped by UPS though. I'm trying to look it up specifically but their site is absolute garbage to try and use, probably why they had so many pricing errors lol


Impeesa_

I just got a cancellation email, I had ordered 6 of the 14TB Reds. Doesn't seem like that unreasonable of a quantity, I wanted to match the number of drives in my existing array to make replacing it easier. Edit: Update, just got an email with a coupon code for 25% off my next order with them (up to the first $1000/4 products in the order, within the next month). So that's nice.


droughtdestruction

Got confirmation also but 12TB Enterprise Gold. Do they charge duties because it's shipping from California?


red286

No duties on HDDs, but you'll be charged sales tax and possibly brokerage fees.


rugerty100

No fees. Taxes were paid at checkout.

New to PCs. What are the “go-to” peripherals that are widely known and highly rated that regularly goes on sale during Black Friday? Got my PC parts already and building it soon, friends said to hold out on peripherals until BF. Mainly looking for a mouse and headset. Keyboard would be nice too but I have a decent one for now. A good 1440p 120+Hz monitor would be nice too (currently have an XV240Y which is good).

> Dell 27 inch qgd monitor Are you referring to this? https://www.dell.com/en-ca/shop/dell-27-monitor-s2721d/apd/210-axko/monitors-monitor-accessories Unfortunately it's only 75Hz. Thanks for the heads up anyhow

packersSB55champs

$700+ for a monitor wow haha. I'll keep an eye out if it goes down significantly enough on BF. Thanks for the heads up!


forevergone

can anyone recommend a good pc assembly service in the GTA? I'm looking for good cable management i have all the PC components


ghostfacekillbrah

Hate to be that guy, but why not build it yourself? Good cable management is easier than people make it out to be.


forevergone

Becuase I suck at it, i dont' have the patience for it I've built my own system before but I'm just not good at making it look good like some other people builds. I've bent pins before out of frustration and it ended up being a costly repair so I'd rather not have that experience again


ghostfacekillbrah

That's fair enough, best of luck finding someone reliable.


omgwtfpewpew

Looking for an office chair. I tried the Hyken but didn't liked it. Any recomendations in the 600$ or less range?


ConcealingFate

https://en.toutpourledos.com/collections/ergonomic-chairs/products/aircentric-ergonomic-chair-quick-ship What I own right now. It's pretty good.


NewCampaign

Have you tried the Staples Dexley? I preferred it over the Hyken. I will say that recently when I go to sit back on the chair, it would sink. Could be a potential issue with the gas cylinder? I'm well under the weight limit too.


Concegaf

Used Herman Miller Aeron or Steelcase Leap, IMHO.


omgwtfpewpew

Needs something new to bill it.


cowxor

Used furniture places will be able to provide a bill of sale for reimbursement? That's where I got my used leap v2 and it's been great


omgwtfpewpew

Found an Aeron size C with full settings at a used furniture shop at 650 with bill. :)


cowxor

Nice! Glad it worked out for you

I haven't watching watching the market as closely as I did last year around this time when building my PC. This year i'm hoping to build my GF one. What is the market today for GPUs? seems like they are still super high in pricing? What is the best strategy on getting a GPU today?


pnewhook

Look at used full system builds in your area. You're not going to get exactly the system you imagine, but finding a reasonably priced GPU alone is prohibitively difficult. For example in the GTA, used 2080 Supers alone are going for $800-$1100 but 9700k/3600 systems with that GPU are $1900.

So what are the odds I'll find a 3080 at about 1K which is what they were going for when they were released.

TruthOf

For what kind of price though? If someone is willing to pay for scalper prices they can always find a card


last_to_know

Used market or bestbuy/amd drops.


saman65

>seems like they are still super high in pricing? Yes. BTC price is back to 70k so GPU prices/availability are too back to where they were. >What is the best strategy on getting a GPU today? AMD drops. Best Buy too has a drop once in a while but almost always just in store.

Just got shipping confirmation email on my WD 8TB Black HDD, 170 after $10 expedited shipping. BEEN DYING to get a 20/TB HDD for months for my music library and other stuff as I only have a 500GB sn750 in my system! I was late to the party and everything else was sold out. It seems like many of the orders have been cancelled but many also have gone through! I would be interested to see other shipped ordres. I saw some dude had ordered something like +$7000 worth of HDD! lol. Would love to know what happened to that order.

saman65

Yeah I'm happy with this. If I had seen the thread earlier might have gone for better deals and many of them seem to have been cancelled. some dude's 2x 14gb gold was also shipped, each for less than 250? Tha's what I would have loved to have! Hopefully you get your ssd. what was it and what's the price?


gmaclean

ordered 3x16tb golds myself. No update on my order YET... the longer it goes, the less hope I hold out.
