    CPU/Mobo Comp needs 4-5 restarts to start....help plz..

    Ack! Just noticed your specs in the sig. I op-ed the link and got a ~225W recommended output for your machine. Umm... the cheapest name brand PSU I could find online was the CoolerMaster eXtreme Power 390W. And that's at 1.75k minus shipping. That's probably overkill for your system... And...

    CPU/Mobo Comp needs 4-5 restarts to start....help plz..

    Random restart is a typical response of damaged / failing / overloaded PSU-s. eXtreme Power Supply Calculator Lite v2.5 The above link is a very good indicator of what anyone should require. But note that the power value they state should be applied ONLY to known-brand PSU-s. Super-cheap...

    Graphic Cards Want To Buy A GFX Card

    KMD (katmandude) is a user on this forum who can import stuff from the US. But I don't think you have to bother him in this case since 4670 is easily available here. Check the link below: http://www.techenclave.com/dealer-s-paradise/go-palit-hd4670-512mb-ddr3-super-120573.html 9600GSO also...

    PC Peripherals Suggestion for my new rig

    HDD - +1 for the WD640 WDC 6400AAKS Monitor - Since you're into video editing, I'd suggest going for max possible resolution. These links look interesting: Viewsonic VA2226w L222WS Cabinet - Methinks the Nvidia Edition will be unnecessarily costly when compared to the vanilla CM690. The...

    Graphic Cards Alternate Graphics Card (No Stock for what I needed)

    What exactly do you mean by 'The stores in town have Palit-s'? You're looking for a 4850, right? What's wrong with a Palit HD4850? <confused> Most probably, the Palit will be based on the reference ATI design. So it should work perfectly well. <shrug>

    Graphic Cards XFX GeForce 8600 GT 512 MB DDR3 Price

    It's unlikely that you'll find it at that price here (I'm from Trivandrum too). This is about as horrible a place for computer goods purchases as it gets. I'd seriously suggest stepping up to a 8800GT. You should be able to get it via KMD for around 7k. TONS more performance than an 8600. PNY...

    Graphic Cards Upgrade - Which Graphics Card (and others)

    Ok! Buying the GTX 260 and keeping current PSU! I suppose I'll go for the EPS610 if... er... the Antec blows up or something, I suppose. :D Thanks for the help guys. :)

    Graphic Cards Upgrade - Which Graphics Card (and others)

    Hi all! I've currently got an E6300 coupled with a 7900GS doing duty on a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3. They're powered by an Antec TP2.0 480W (36A across two 12V rails). I want to upgrade my graphics card and am considering the 9800GTX+ and the GTX 260 Core 216 (No ATI because CUDA support is a...

    Ipod nano 8gb... advice...

    I have the iPod nano 4GB. It's got a UI to die for, and it plays music well enough. As for video, I use Videora Ipod Converter to convert whatever format I have to an iPod compatible 320x240 form. I've even watched whole movies on it... turned out to be much better than I thought it could be...

    Graphic Cards GTX Prices Slashed

    MSI and PALIT GTX280-s, yeah. Just noticed. In any case, I find the $299 GTX260 more interesting. Lower prices are always a good thing! :hap2:

    Which gaming mouse for less than 2K shipped?

    Refurbishment is just minor repair at most, right. And that too, done by Razor. I don't know anything about their life expectancy, never used one. I have an MX518 (and it's pretty good). Just thought I'd point out what looked like a great deal. :D

    Which gaming mouse for less than 2K shipped?

    Hey, I don't know whether this is still valid, but I guess it's worth a look. Refurbished Razer Copperhead at Rs. 1750 from KMD http://www.techenclave.com/dealer-s-paradise/miscellaneous-items-for-sale-114605.html Scroll down. It's third item from top in list. It's retail for new is >3k at...
