I know right? No modem either :( no browsing for me and my 56k modem. No Blue boxing either.

On a more serious note, no stock in QC :(
Stock at Markam and Mississauga.

Acer GPU is leaf blower unlike most other GPU in current market like from dell. Just ran Dell 3060ti at 80% fan speed, compare that with 80% Acer 3060ti, it's about 10 times more noise! Currently running Dell at 60% fan speed and GPU temp is in 40s. Acer on other hand was in 50s when mining. Also, 3dmark timespy was 9900 for Acer, should be 11800.

This one. Use code HPDAYS60 for $60 off. Rakuten 4% cashback at the moment.

Otherwise, this one is better but a little over your budget : https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/le ... i/15687868

You must have purchased an open-box item. Make sure the box is sealed.

Hope they’re able to retrace whoever stole it out of the unit. That’s low

They can but their policies are so lax I doubt that they care.

I was in a similar position as you and I ended up going with Lenovo Legion Tower 5i with GTX 3060, i5 11400, 512gb. Was about $1150+ tax from their eBay store during Black Friday.

I actually bought and returned the Costco MSI rig. Price is much higher and is still 3060 (not ti) and has a crappy cooler and hardly any case fans (I think just 1).
Whereas the Lenovo has a decent cpu cooler, and 3 or 4 RGB case fans. Also runs quieter than the MSI at idle.

Edit: and it was taken yesterday.
If it was taken then they likely aren't getting any new stock.

Costco usually keeps instore displays up if they know there will be a restock.

I tried to buy the instore model 2 weeks ago.

What are you going to do about the front panel Io?
It doesn't use the standard wiring.
