Need to assemble a really cheap printing rig with UPS backup as good a B&W laser printer as possible for less than 20k. I'm hoping to get the entire thing up and running for 20k - so that includes the monitor, input devices, etc.

If anyone in Delhi has a used system for sale, I'd be willing to take a look at that too.

Also need a cheapo wireless router - but that's excluded from the 20k budget.

PS: Is SMC still the best place to get stuff from in Nehru Place, Delhi?

P.S: Do u need to include a printer too in the 20k budget?
 
Yeah, that's the thing. The printer needs to be included in the budget.
And the computer will be used solely for Microsoft Word and possibly some accounting stuff - to basically it needs to be really really basic, but good enough to run stuff without any trouble. So the monitor and gpu need to be as cheap as possible.

As for the router, that's just for my personal use so I just need something with a solid range and trouble-free.

U can try to get a used AthlonII X2 240/245 or a new Sempron 140/145 and save ~1k. U can omit the ODD if not needed and save 1k and also u can go for a 15.6" for 4.3k. U can also try getting a 160GB/250GB used HDD in warranty for 0.8k-1k.

These would save u about ~4.5k-5k which could be invested in a basic Laser BW printer. (Prices starts fro 4.5k-5k ri8?)
 
Thanks mate. What's a good B&W laser printer? You don't seem to get Brother in India else I would've picked up an HL2140.

And would you go with the configuration you suggested above or the 14k one in the Nov buying guide?

Yeah thats a decent rig for ur usage, but i would suggest a good PSU like the FSP SAGAII 350w ~ 1.5k and a UPS would add another 1.5k. Not sure about printers. Wait for others to comment on that.
