DX11 cards are coming out in a very short time. So any graphics card you may buy right now will become obsolete in no time. It might be wise to buy the rest of the components right now and buy the graphics card later. Microsoft doesn't do computer hardware like CPUs/GPUs etc. And you can't...

Nah, he didn't pay. Got it done for 4k from the company Dell sources maintenance work to. Mentioned this in my previous post. Come on yaar, not too many people can afford to blow 17k for a HDD replacement. That too, he was given an estimate of 4k by Dell as fitting charges. So he was asked to...

Sorry for the double post, but here's the actual bill my friend got. For those that haven't read my previous post, this is an official bill for replacement of a 160GB hard drive in my friend's 1.5 year-old Dell XPS M1530: (And I know my taskbar's a mess. Lol)

Yeah, my friend was smart and tracked down the company that Dell outsources maintenance work to, and that guy charged 4k to fit a 250GB hard drive in my friend's lappy. But 21k for a simple HDD replacement job is just plain criminal. This is the reason why Dell gives "amazing" service within the...

They do make laptop consumers pay through the nose after the warranty period expires. They gave a bill of 17k to my friend to replace his 160GB hard drive. Fitting charges extra (approx 4k). I saw the bill with my own eyes. No shit :S

^^Ah, good to hear. Dell's the best in terms of service. Good choice :P

BenQ G2412HD for 12k is the most VFM 24" LCD on the market today. Same quality as E2400HD/S2409W. I'm getting one of these for my friend in Pune.

Re: The post your in-game screenshot's thread Arma II is out, and it looks spectacular! Crysis-killer, anyone? :P Maybe an exaggeration. But the graphics are fantastic. The vehicle models are definitely better than Crysis. The leaves and foliage are not as detailed as...

Re: The post your in-game screenshot's thread No, that's a wild exaggeration :P I just beat COJ2. Enjoyed it much more than FEAR 2. Better story, better graphics, better soundtrack. The gameplay is standard FPS fare, except for the concentration mode, which is not as awesome as the...

Re: Prototype EDIT -- Double post.

Re: Prototype Got the game today. It's dumb fun; like someone said in this thread, the destruction is totally over the top. Couple of opening video screens: This is how the game starts. Throws ya right into the action: Puts Wolverine to shame: Ground spikes. Takes out anything in...
