    PC Peripherals Need recommendation for a 60k notebook urgently

    Yup, the Inspiron 6400 matches all your criteria. I'm using an E1505 and I've been using one for the last few months with no problems. The build quality is excellent, absolutely no flex on the screen, solid hinges, takes a fair amount of rough treatment. The only thing is it's a bit bigger and...

    Looking for sub 10k amplifier

    Anish: Yeah I have a pair of Lithos bookshelf speakers. No idea what model. They're pretty decent for music and movies, more than enough for me but I doubt they'd make the stereophile grade. No idea of the price but they should be pretty reasonable. And NAD makes some of the best amps and CD...

    PC Peripherals a desktop and a lappy please advice

    A laptop will be at least 40-50% cheaper in the US, and you'll most likely be able to get a far better configuration for your money. What costs around 65k here will cost less than 40k there. For your desktop, why stop at 80GB? You'll get upto 200-250 for just a little bit more and you'll...

    PC Peripherals Dilemma - buying stuff from the US

    OK... new issue. I just got a mail from someone at Dell asking which country the credit card I used is from, various other details including the billing address and shipping address etc and explicitly saying he needs to know whether or not the laptop is going to be exported or whether it will be...

    PC Peripherals Tv Tuner Card Query

    Make sure his cable provider doesn't require using a set top box. If it does, the tuner will be 99% useless. The one TV tuner I've used wouldn't display what's coming through the video inputs like they display tv channels, it could only capture through them. The only other issue I had with the...

    PC Peripherals Dilemma - buying stuff from the US

    Hmm... as far as I'm aware any person coming back into India can bring upto Rs. 25k worth of anything with them, customs free. Whether or not Dell honours the warranty here, it's a damn good price. A similarly configured machine here will easily cost more than 65k, and for what I'm paying I'd...

    PC Peripherals Dilemma - buying stuff from the US

    Once again, thanks to everyone for your suggestions and help. With less than four hours before the Dell coupon expired, I ordered an Inspiron E1505. I just recieved the confirmation email which says it will only ship on the 19th and then take another 5 days or so to reach the address. This is...

    Introduction

    Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I did post in the General Hardware > Purchase Recommendations section but I was hoping a brief outline here wouldn't be out of place. Sorry if I've managed to mess up with my first post.

    [D]igital [D]eath - edealinfo.com isn't a shop. It just publishes deals and discount offers it finds. It's up to you to take advantage of those offers at the respective websites. Links and ordering instructions are given in each listing.

    PC Peripherals Dilemma - buying stuff from the US

    Wow, thanks for the quick replies. [D]igital [D]eath - If I do buy the graphics card, I won't open the box till I know whether or not I'm going to use it. Hopefully that will be an advantage. Chaos - Thanks so much, your information is really useful. Are you sure I can expect the package to...

    PC Peripherals Dilemma - buying stuff from the US

    Hi, I'm pretty new here. I posted an introduction here briefly describing a problem I'm facing. My parents are going to the US tomorrow. Basically I have the money to buy either a budget laptop or a graphics card and other components for a medium-range gaming computer. Unfortunately, I finished...
