buy the box packed one - it's a little costlier but more reliable and comes with all cables/screws etc.

RAM - just go for kingston/transcend other higher priced low latency ram hardly improves performance by 2-3%

with reference to hitachi drives - those 7-10 out of 50 failures are opinions of newegg buyers - go to StorageReview Home Page and read their reliabilaty survey for a more comprehensive outlook...

Yup , I agree with emil - emi might be an issue with CRTs which use magnetic deflectors and coils ( try bringing a magnetic screwdriver near ur CRT screen , if u haven't already seen that ) but it's unlikely to have any effect on LCDs Besides the earth's magnetic field is too weak compared to...

^^That does look bad - i just hope it's bearable !!! Does it cause major distractions ? And hey Eazy , how much did u buy it for ?

Hi - people , like i already said , i don't want want to mirror as it still does not provide that much reliabilaty and i would try to backup my most important data on dvds - i just want my drive to last atleast 4-5 years - without crashes/bad sectors . A little info on reliabilaty that i have...

I don't have a budget as such - just as much as a normal 250gb would cost . I don't want to spend extra on a raid/mirror . I might prefer getting a 16mb buffer WD if the price difference between that and hitachi was not too much (yes i know hitachi is winning the benchmarks) but the major final...

Can u also please mention the approximate prices ??

Hi again !! In most current reviews hitachi T7K250 has been voted the best performing 250 gb hdd but which do u think is more reliable hitachi T7K250 or Western Digital SE16 (WD2500KS) Do u also have any idea about the currently prevailing prices of these drives in Delhi ??

Hey zhopudey ^^ - I'm myself planning to go for a 740n - r u happy with it ?? Does it have any probs like backlight leaking ? And how is it with games ? Also if i'm not asking too many questions - have u tried anything on non-native resolutions ?? :) Most importantly - how much did u pay for...

thanks for ur input people - i will be visiting the dealer next week - will see what he has to say about the "exchange price"

OK...to put it another way ...(since my budget is still 3-3.5k)...will it be better to get Vip 400W + Cheaper cabinet or Antec 1650B ( with SP350 )

Thanks people....So , games do run fine - I will run everything else at native res. - the only query was regarding games... I'm planning to buy Samsung 740N - has got some very good reviews...

So , does anyone else want to add something to this or are u all still using CRTs ???

rahulhbk - i do understand that it's not difficult to become a fan of antec cabinets but my budget really is 3-3.5k - i've got better things to splurge money on

I was reading the user reviews on newegg - i read the first five pages (50 reviews) for each drive - the hitachi 250 had a large number of failures (7-8 within the first year and quite a few in just the first 2 months) . The WD by comparison had only ~2 ( I'm not counting DOAs as thats a...

Oh my god people - i should have made it into a poll :ohyeah: - as of yet , i have 2 in favour and 2 against . BTW i do not plan to OC . A major upgrade is unlikely for the next 2-3 years except for maybe a new hd (bringing total to 2) or 2 more sticks ram ( that makes a max of 25w+14w more )...

Hi people... I've almost made up my mind to buy a lcd... the only question i'm facing is just how much of a quality hit does a lcd take at non native resolutions ( wrt games ) . What has your personal experience been ? Are there any pics available ??

Hi anish - can u please mention what ur config was when u were using the sp350 ??

Hi people !! I was looking for a cabinet + PSU for 3-3.5k My planned rig : 3200+ asus a8n-e 2*512 mb ddr 7600gt 1*sata ( or 2 in future ) 1*dvd/rw 1*dvd/rom 2 pci cards ( tv tuner + sound blaster ) The cabinet i was thinking of was an antec-1650b . It costs ~ 3400 according to techenclave...
