Desktop computers in Australia

Updated 4 November 2026

A desktop computer in Australia currently costs about A$319 for a basic mini PC and A$1,699 to A$4,400 for a gaming model, while most all-in-one and tower desktops sit between A$715 and A$1,700. The quickest way to see current prices for your exact needs is to create a free request on BlaBlaPrice, where the AI looks through local sellers' websites and shows what it finds.

Warranty and consumer rights in Australia

A common standard warranty on desktops is 12 months return-to-base, which means you carry or post the unit to the repairer. Some local builders offer 36 months return-to-base on the desktops they assemble. Under the Australian Consumer Law, a warranty cannot take away your basic consumer guarantee rights, and those rights can last longer than the warranty itself. Check the document for the period, who pays for transport and whether it covers the graphics card and storage drive.

Summer heat and airflow

Summer runs from December to February, and in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide the heat means many homes run fans or air-conditioning through the day. A desktop with a powerful processor or graphics card gives off more heat, so check the airflow of the case and the fan noise, especially if it will sit in a warm room or a study with little ventilation.

Delivery, units and how prices are quoted

Sellers quote prices in A$, so check whether a figure includes delivery to your city, whether that is Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide or a regional town. Give the case size in centimetres if it has to fit a desk or a cabinet, and the weight in kilograms for a tower, since that decides who can carry it. Storage and memory are listed in GB and TB, so write the capacity you need in those units.

What to put in your request

Start with the main purpose, office work, study, video editing or gaming, because it sets the processor and graphics card you need. Then say whether you want new or used, the memory and storage drive, the case type (tower, mini or all-in-one), what is included such as a monitor or keyboard, the warranty length you want and your budget in A$. If you live outside the big cities, add your suburb so sellers can tell you whether they deliver there.

Describe the computer in your own words in a BlaBlaPrice chat, and add a photo if you have one. The service is free for buyers. BlaBlaPrice's AI asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Australia, and shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own offer, price, terms and delivery, while your contact details stay hidden until you decide with whom to share them.
