I've noticed the cheapest 5090s at Microcenter are now ~$4200. So with this deal, you're literally getting a whole PC for free w/5090 purchase.
I could only get it down to $4087 as only the 'awakenings' code worked for me. Still, pretty good!
The only thing proprietary about this entire AMD Omen is the front-panel I/O.
$6 part is all you need if you ever want to move the motherboard to a standard case.

Everything else is standard fit and ports etc. No funny connectors, no special PSU, no weird cables for fans etc. Whatever urban legends people have about HP proprietary parts.
GPU is usable in any other motherboard's PCI-E slot. Down to the side screw holes on 50xx long cards where it can be used with fancier brackets to secure the card down. Far better than a simple ant-sag stick under it. These screw holes is what HP used to secure the card down like a tank in the machine.
Lenovo has similar extra study GPU brackets. Nothing proprietary about the GPU card themselves that makes it so you can't take it and use it somewhere else. Clearly you have zero experience with these type of machines... lol
People who spread misinformation without bothering to check the facts are worse than a glitchy AI.
I see both 9700X and 9800X3D SKUs as out of stock
If you already the machine in your cart, you can still place an order despite the product being OOS. I am not sure if it will get fulfilled or cancelled later but the order will go thru. You will get an order confirmation email and you will see the order in "My orders"
This was fun! See you at the next deal. or if you just have questions.
Congrats to those who pulled the trigger! Can we emote on this message so we can get a count of how many people actually ordered? I am genuinely curious how many people got in on this kind of deal. I don't think people always hit the "I bought this" icon. I know I forget to do it many times on deals.
to the guy asking about next day, I don;'t see the option - see pic

All PC modders that are getting this - just keep in mind the following - you need to keep the machine whole in original configuration if you need Warranty Service..
Usually a setup-fee $140
May require incorporation but not aways (whatever this cost is, legalzoom used to be $80?)
Then it's a forwarding fee per package (by weight)
Roughly $50 bucks to send a PC box of this weight - sometimes you can pick your own shipper agreements for lower cost.
Tax on this deal around $250-$400 depending on your state so the cost of forwarding service is paid off on the first machine in theory.
This deal has 69 TU so far. lol.
At some point it might just be as practical to rent an apartment there. Like around the local university in the suburb that may have very affordable housing, even better with ones that has an attendant that will collect packages.

My CC bill on PC purchases will be 26K next month! Joy of 5090 hunting.
for local LLM vs.Online - the pay off isn't there for 99% of the users, you will always be better off in cost if you use online models and they are definite better than any local models. The only time local AI will come out ahead on cost will be video generation per my experience.
If you really want local AI, 27B is best. 35B AoE is next best and uses less VRAM.
Qwen 3.8 27B is the best sweet spot now overall, this will run just fine. Smaller models look pretty weak in comparison but you can run 35B MoE A3 off of 16GB RAM.
There is nothing like a 32GB (or penny's 96GB VRAM though).
You can also double up on 16GB cards for 32GB, I ran 5080+5070 TI also if you have slimmer 2 card or 2.5 card height GPUs and Mobo is enough and use a 1200w PSU.
Performance is ok and great to be able to do 32GB VRAM for around $2500 max cost across 2 cards. vs. $4000 5090
If you do dual 5070 TI, it could have been $1700 for 32GB total VRAM
I picked up a 3090 24GB 2 days ago, not sure how I want to deploy it yet. Maybe pair with a 16GB for a total of 40GB to parallel LLM and content creation. 3090 is much slower but but you can get to 48GB VRAM if you find 2 x 3090 24GB for $2000 total.
I did some basic testing on it, it feels like running LLM on a Macbook M5 Max, got more ram but it's also slower... not very satisfying.
Just installed qwen 3.8 27b yesterday, coding with claude/copitlot/codex is great. I pay 0 dollar for subscription.
uneducated folks just blindly hate AI
I did the math - ran it through checkout - and would love to purchase it. But my wife and I both already have 9800x3d with 5090 rigs that we built last year... all my kids are running 9070xt's and although they game I do not see a point in spending 4k on their graphics card.
This is a tremendously good deal given current pricing - and honestly it has been sitting in the cart this whole time - I WANT to pull the trigger but I don't NEED another 5090 in the house and that 4k might be a safer hedge sitting in savings or being spent on multiple gifts for the coming season versus a purchase...
That all said - I still might end up pulling the trigger just because I am fortunate enough to be able to afford it...and its a great deal - Buuuuuuut the person in me who is always trying to figure out where we are gonna get Disney money from - is telling me to not spend 4k on a gaming PC that will not get the kind of workout necessary and collect more dust than not.
Pretty sure a lot of slickdealers are in similar spots - recognizing it is a hell of a deal but hemming and hawing on pulling the trigger for other reasons.
Think Time is a killer. I can't stand it. I am using windows. I have not dedicated a 5090 to run Linux which will be better at serving LLM using VLLM
as for unloading them - so why don't you do just that, unload for big profit and buy a 9070XT if it is that easy. #EasyMoneyRight?
Slickdeals comes down to two types of people: those who actually pull off the deal, and those who miss out or can't buy the deal but won't stop lecturing everyone else.
Not everyone uses GPU for games. There are real non-AI applications that require GPU power as well.
