    Storage Solutions 4 TB CMR HDD

    Thanks. I did check Amazon but not sure how good the sellers are. Are StorageBiz / TPSTech on Amazon reputed sellers?

    Flipkart deals

    I have this one, this has absolutely horrible audio quality. Better to get Logitech c615 if FHD is needed, else C270.

    PC Peripherals PC Speakers 2.0 / 2.1

    The sales are here, and can't see any sale on the Swans M10. While the edifier 1280Ts is available for 8k with 10% off. So now again in doubt

    Recommended router for BSNL Fiber

    Put BSNL's modem in bridge mode and use any router of your choice. Archer A7 is a good but boring choice. Depending on the layout of your house and location of your modem, once router may not be enough to cover 1500 sq feet.

    WiFi router purchase Advice

    If you don't need Wifi 6, and if you don't have many devices then you don't, get TP Link Archer C7 for INR 4k. Supports WDS / AP mode / Router mode. I use a C7 in WDS mode and it works flawlessly. You can also get an Archer A7. I believe the Archer A7 is the same as C7 but costs 1k less due to...

    Storage Solutions 4 TB CMR HDD

    I am looking for a 4TB CMR HDD to store movies / data / games. I already have 1 TB SSD, this would act as a secondary drive. I would prefer a 7200 rpm one. WD Red Pro / Seagate Ironwolf Pro are 7200 rpm CMR, but can't find any of those in stock. Anywhere I can buy one? Or a WD Red Plus /...

    Suitable method for Backup of Data

    I have been looking into this in some detail recently for backing up my files. Please note that I am still researching this topic, the following may not be entirely correct / up to date. I was primarily looking at backing up to OneDrive since I already have a subscription. There are two threats...

    PC Peripherals USB Back Panel Brackets

    Haha. I did think of DIY methods - putting the wires in a sleeve or a heat shrink tube or just tape over the wires with a black electrical tape - but want to see if there is something readymade. Sleeve seems to require the least effort so will probably do that if there is no alternative.

    PC Peripherals USB Back Panel Brackets

    Any idea where I can buy a USB 2.0 back panel bracket in black? I bought this one from Amazon, but it looks pretty odd inside my case. Also looking a USB type C bracket for a type E header. This one seems to cost a lot more for some reason :(.

    Swans M10 looks the best fit in my budget, now waiting for the Amazon sale. Unless Edifier comes up with some last minute deal in the sale.

    21-30k PC Components advise

    I chose B660M Mortar over Pro A because it has a USB 20 Gbps type C port and ALC 1200 audio. Also 2 extra Sata ports are good to have, especially since one Sata port becomes inoperative if you install a 2nd M.2 drive. The CX650 is 5.6k and the Adata Core reactor 750W is 7.1k. So 1.6k difference.

    PC Peripherals PC Speakers 2.0 / 2.1

    Thanks a ton for all your suggestions! I have very limited idea about speakers and your suggestions are extremely helpful. I don't mind a soundbar, but not sure how to accommodate one on my desk - they seem to take a lot of space. Unless I can mount it to the monitor. Nope. I have a Fiio...

    21-30k PC Components advise

    Good to hear the vote of confidence in Adata. I checked prices with ITDepot and MDComputers. I don't want to order from too many places since it gets hard to coordinate shipments and ensure everything arrives at the same time so that I can test out the PC within the return window. Neither...

    21-30k Should I buy 12600k for 25.6k or wait?

    Motherboard is definitely failing, thats for sure. This has been happening since the last 2 years and progressively gotten worse. Sometimes one pair of RAM slots work and sometimes the other. CPU seems to be fine, hopefully the RAM is okay, at least 1 stick. I wanted to buy a new mobo and...

    21-30k Should I buy 12600k for 25.6k or wait?

    This is the exact same way my 8 year old PC is failing - Gigabyte mobo and i5 3500 processor. PC will refuse to boot up, I have to remove the ram and CMOS battery and leave it alone for a few hours. Then I reconnect everything and it works. And it also doesn't boot with more than 3 USB devices...

    Need Suggestion for Headphone

    Headphones are often a very personal choice and depends on a lot of factors. I personally use a Sennheiser 598 SE for the last 5 years and I can recommend it wholeheartedly. You will get the updated version 599 SE on amazon for 10k, so if you wait for the upcoming sale you can get if for 10% off...
