I got one through chat for 1280 including a storage upgrade. Transaction details say liquid cooling.

Does anybody know how I can go about customizing some of these options? I'm looking to add a couple of things and then try to call in and see about getting a reasonable price as I'm sure these things will fly as soon as they can become available.
My chat agent offered RAM and storage upgrades.

Hey guys, late into mining cryptocurrency bitcoin and eth, I am able to get 20 Mh/s with my 1060 (6gb) card on my gaming laptop.

Which will net me $2.298 per day or $68.955 per month. pretty good eh?

I was looking into the antminer s17/19 but they are either sold out, or expensive....

So I wonder what If I just pick up several of these desktops giving me about 60.5 MH/s each. or buy several of them and part them out? take the graphics cards, put it on a motherboard with more express slots and the rest will be sold with a cheap graphics card for $400-500?

Chat agent Asim, after wasting half hour of my time told me he has to submit price match request as its a door buster deal. Got a call back two hours later with "approved price match" of $1299.99. I politely asked what happened to $1200? Rep said "ohh its only $100 more than door buster deal" umm no thanks!

Okay I'll make a slickdeal everytime there's a GPU on eBay for $50 off whatever you think the "market price" is.

These cards are still being manufactured and sold at existing retail price. That's the market price. It's irrelevant what they are being sold on a completely different (after)-market.
Go for it, as it would help people. And to me it sounds like you don't even fundamentally understand the concept of a market, so you should probably stop trying to argue for argument's sake.

Just because shit is hilariously inflated and being scalped right now doesn't make something that is normally overpriced as hell a "good deal". Because a PS5 is $1,000 on ebay, if best buy were selling it for $700 that would be a "good deal"? too?
Why don't you tell us when things go back to normal then?

I hope you sold on eBay. 4790k still get $120 there. Which makes me think the last and best AM4 processor will hold it's value for a long time.
Totally did sell on ebay, that 4790k fetched $200 when I sold it. It was time to move onward though as my mobo died and replacing the mobo with a compatible one was more expensive than just moving to a new architecture Frown

Had I not had to do that though and rebuild... I think I would upgrade with this rig, for the price it really isnt that bad.

I also had to chat with several agents before getting the liquid cooling package for 1230. If the agent can't give it to you just end the chat and start a new one.
What did you say? The agents getting keep pulling up the deal page and telling me liquid cooling isn't included on the 2/11 deal
