    90K+ Gaming pc for 180k

    Ok, maybe not as much on the GPU front, but definitely cheaper for the monitor itself :) Also, it's more like 9%. 2560*1440 = 3,686,400 & 2560*1600 = 4,096,000. I just placed an order - http://www.ebay.com/itm/130892638671 (fingers crossed that it arrives in one piece and doesn't have...

    90K+ Gaming pc for 180k

    Or you could take a leap of faith, save some dosh and get a Korean 1440p monitor. (roughly $300-350 shipped, before customs/duties). Gets you a relatively mega sized monitor while not requiring as much GPU grunt.

    CPU/Mobo Haswell Components India Availability & Pricing

    I believe that has to do with crappy TIM under the IHS on Haswell.

    I have resolved not to buy any more games until I clear my backlog :-) <f#@k me. Never gonna happen>

    Welcome Amazon India!

    I should have clarified, regulations permit upto 51% FDI in multi-brand retail (aka JV between local/Indian entity & foreign firm). Pretty sure AMZN will not be interested in such a setup.

    Welcome Amazon India!

    Amazon does not provide 'Same day delivery', unless you are given the option of 'local express delivery' (works only when they have a warehouse in the same city, which is very rare). What has made them popular in terms of delivery model is their 'Prime shipping' option which provides free 2Day...

    31-40k Storage Mountain

    If you followed the link, you would have read that RAID is NOT useful for backup (regardless of whether you want to do it now or in the future). Aren't you in the US right? There have been frequent deals on the 650/750watters. (in the $80-100 range). that's about half of what you would pay in...

    31-40k Storage Mountain

    Why not Seasonic? and why did you just completely ignore cyberwarfare's point about just getting simple 'value' RAM? Even Corsair 'value' RAM will be cheaper than 'Vengeance'. Unless that is, all you care about is how the RAM 'looks'. I still think spending 25k on a cabinet is...

    31-40k Storage Mountain

    What is your intention behind using RAID? Also, WHS has been dumped by MS. You wont be getting any updates in the future.

    31-40k Storage Mountain

    Did you not read what I/cranky just posted? Why do you need to spend 12k on a cabinet? Another consideration is, what OS are you going to be running? Will this just be a file server (windows would suffice), or do you want all the additional benefits something like FreeNAS/ZFS provide (Would...

    Camera under $400

    I just picked up the Lumix G5 with kit + 45-150 zoom for 498/-. The Olympus EPL-3 is also getting blown out by multiple retailers. Try following 43rumors.com for deals. Lots going on since new models are getting released by both Olympus & Panny.

    31-40k Storage Mountain

    SFF can work well for upto 8 (maybe even 9 drives). Not sure about cases supporting 10 drives. Take a look at the Fractal Design Node 304, LL 354, LL Q25 & LL Q08. Make sure you get a super beefy/quality powersupply.

    Why not a SFF cabinet, since this is a storage only machine?

    The book I am reading currently

    Game of Thrones is the TV series. A Song of Ice and Fire is the book series that GoT is based upon. ASOIAF is yet to be completed.

    I've actually been liking some of the liberties the writers have taken from GRRM's version. Makes it all the more engrossing :)

    The "Everyday" show-off thread !

    Yes C1 & C2 are programmable. C2 actually has 3 submodes (accessible via the OSD after setting the dial to C2). The body is definitely smaller than your entry level T3i/D3100. However, I still plan on grabbing a EPM2 as a pocketable walkaround camera once I find a deal on it (should be easier...
