I thought it was a great deal until i found out that most of the parts are proprietary. Correct me if i'm wrong but even the GPU is their own custom GPU which means you can't just replace it with a full size 4070/5070 next time. There's also people complaining of thermal issues. That being said, ts a fantastic price @ $1199 for a 3070 but be aware of the limitations.
Considering the street value of even a used 3070 is north of $800 right now, this should sell out in all of about 6 seconds.
7 replacements? Your persistence is commendable.

Ugh I'm being quoted $1330 due to this being "offline" pricing . Feel like the rep jacked the price up on me for being nice.
Spoke with a different rep and snagged one with liquid cooling for $1230, definitely worth it!

I used the chat. I didn't upgrade anything for the extra $30. That was just the price. However, it looks like I'm getting the liquid cooled CPU while the deal on the 11th does not include that.
I used the chat option and am also getting the liquid cooling for the extra $30. this will par nice with AW3821DW Smilie

Quote from muchwow :
well i didn't say anything about any 3070, but that's besides the point. but going off your example anyway, let's say that the cheapest 3070 you could find anywhere was $800 and that it's been that way for quite some time. now the price has reached equilibrium (where supply crosses demand). if that price suddenly drops down to $700, then by definition that is a bargain.

now, that's different than if the price were to fluctuate heavily (say, between 600 and 1000 with the average being 800), and it's only been $800 for a short period of time. if it then drops down to $700, while that's still below average, the high variance would suggest that you could do better.

it doesn't HAVE to be below MSRP for it to be a deal, because basic economics (supply vs demand) will trump any MSRP.

so my point is that prices and "deals" are relative. similar to the way stocks or assets work. if someone tried to sell you a bitcoin for $10k in 2013, you'd say they're nuts, and you wouldn't buy it. but if someone tried to sell you a bitcoin today for $10k, you'd still say they're nuts but you'd buy it in a heartbeat.

you can stick to your understanding of economics if you want, but if you're trying to purchase something that's in extreme demand and low supply at the price that YOU deem fit, then you might end up waiting for quite some time. not that that's wrong, but that's just the reality.

and you calling all the components essentially garbage does not detract from the fact that anyone can have an excellent gaming experience with this pc at this given price.
Why the hell are you comparing this to stocks and bitcoin lol. Those prices inherently fluctuate on open market based on public interest.

The retail price for a 3070 is the same price that it has always retailed for and will continue to retail for unless it gets cheaper. YES i know tariffs happened and the price technically did go up but that's a completely different and entirely unique situation. Asus, EVGA, nvidia themselves, and any other brand HAS NOT increased prices due to supply and demand.

Stop talking about economics when you are completely clueless. Consumers are not setting the market price for these cards. Whatever you want to pay after market from a third party unauthorized vendor is simply for convenience or just idiocy.

Stop alking about economics when you are completely clueless. Consumers are not setting the market price for these cards. Whatever you want to pay after market from a third party unauthorized vendor is simply for convenience or just idiocy.
Consumers are, in fact, setting the market price for these cards because there is a finite supply of these cards, and demand far outstrips that supply. The market price for a good is the price at which it is readily available for liquid purchase - and that happens to be the price on third party marketplaces like eBay, set by the few sellers who still have supply, who have accordingly adjusted their price upwards to such a point through a process of price discovery that supply won't immediately be depleted by demand.

Whatever price you can buy a 3000 series card for right now with immediate availability is the current market price. That's the price at which supply and demand have reached an equilibrium and the cards don't sell out immediately.

The true inefficient, non-free-market determined price is the MSRP, which is so much lower than demand dictates that it sells out literally faster than a human not aided by a computer can purchase. That is not the market price, unless you're really able to buy as many cards as you want for that price - in which case, if you are, let me know and I'll pay you a 10% markup/profit on literally as many of those cards as you're able to get me for the 'market price'.

Literally read this: https://www.investopedia.com/term...-price.asp

"The market price is the current price at which an asset or service can be bought or sold. The market price of an asset or service is determined by the forces of supply and demand. The price at which quantity supplied equals quantity demanded is the market price."

The price at which there is sufficient quantity to supply to meet quantity demanded == market price. MSRP is so low that there isn't remotely close to enough sufficient quantity to supply to meet quantity demanded. The real market price is the eBay price. Learn some economics yourself before blasting others for not understanding economics, buddy.

I think if the RTX 3070 isn't so inflated in price, this would not be a deal.
The problem is after 6 months or so, there should be much better deals available.

I got killer WiFi 6 and liquid cpu cooling both added bringing total 1233.54 pre-tax and free shipping. Pulled trigger on it.

I logged in to my Dell.com home account from mobile phone. Clicked chat icon from mobile Dell website and referenced the deal door buster link.

Thanks! Gladly pay an extra $50 for not waiting for a loading page and similar heartache. I still have PTSD from all my PS5 attempts.
This is such an insane heads up - thank you so much. Just did this and still on the chat with the rep, but the rep says it's doable - "$1,229.99+tax is the today price we are offering", verbatim in their words. What an insane hack to front run this deal which will 100% sell out. Thanks a ton!

nah, more like at least 2 years.

too many things are squeezing a single foundry to make their chips, plus the stupid trade war with world's largest manufacturering country, no way it is going any better soon.

You probably got it as well if you check your specs.

I was just able to order for $1230 as well. I just said I wanted to upgrade the cpu to water cooled, and the rep said

"Dark Side of the Moon chassis with High-Performance CPU Liquid Cooling and 550W Power Supply"

and it came out to the $1230 price

Yes, I noticed mine said it came with the 550w and liquid cooling. The rep told me it wasn't liquid cooling. Guess I'll see when it gets here!
