Yup, low-tech beats high-tech in such things.

How would you protect the camera itself? I feel most CCTV cameras along with power delivery system look conspicuous and invite trouble. If there is a provision for camera protection, you might be able to use old hardware (or buy it cheap second hand) : 1. An old wireless router in repeater...

Far from wasting an SSD for the OS, simple cheap USB stick should suffice. It's not windows we are talking about. For soft- RAID, variety of hard disks is a better bet. Since the problem with RAID (soft or hard) is the high probability of array failure when rebuilding, a bad batch in case of...

Being a developer, I think you can identify the bottleneck in performance of your current system. Do you see processor cores (one or more) pegged at nearly 100% for long periods when you are developing / compiling? See the processor usage that is not I/O related. I can see how 6 GB RAM is not...

What do you mean "if" ? Read the first post. And reading the starting post of the thread you are replying to is not that much in fashion here, I see. And I should care because ?

Well the vitriol wasn't directed at you, sorry if it appeared like that. But I can't be polite to Wintel. OP mentioned Ubuntu 12.04 as the intended OS. AMD is not getting its due on this forum, even in the narrow niche they are good at. Without AMD, Intel stops innovating and you get P4...

Then show a freely available tree having at least 130 leaves worth rupees 3k each. Or give an Intel alternative. Atom is not fit to lick the dust off the boots of E350. E350 is really enough for the use case mentioned by OP, I have an E350 laptop (you would call it a netbook) and I intend to run...

Gigabyte E350N Motherboard: Flipkart.com With well known high flipkart prices - 4100 shipped. There is only 4k to be spent, so no point comparing 7k goods is there? Where do you get extra 3k from? How long? No known significant performance effect of age on processors Is CPU Performance...

Strongly disagree. If you have 4k for processor + motherboard + graphics, Intel gives you atom and amd gives you 4 times x86 performance and 20 times graphics performance in last generation fusion combo with higher RAM support and typically higher number of SATA ports and lot better Linux...

Attitude of being on topic? I agree it is more convenient to post on random topics. The user db6mg has joined TE after me, and has more posts than me. If this is called stopping you, I shudder to think what would happen if you were encouraged to post on "Indian forums. (sic)" [sic] by some...

Antec Basiq BP350 350W Power Supply Problem is, for the PSU alone, shipping kills the price advantage. For OP as well as other buyers of full system, thus might make sense.

I didn't say that. If I said that it would have been irrelevant to the topic like your post. And ALPHA17 above is spot on for the technical explanation.

Replace CPU + motherboard with AMD Fusion combo @4k. Save 3k. Performance will suffer but still vastly better than any ARM CPUs that you were looking at. Replace PSU with antec basiq 350. Save 200. Replace hard drive with 250 GB, save 200 more.

You say you will moderately overclock. Then why so worried abou 3-400 MHz? Overclock upto 4.0 or so.

yes and no. [Phoronix] What Linux Users Need To Know When Holiday Shopping For PC Hardware AMD recently fired hundreds of Linux developers so expect things to worsen.

Trying to buy from shops / ebay is useless. If the regular computer shops started selling second-hand computeres, they would get too many customer complaints, reputation issues, and too much work for too little margin. You can see the market thread on TE (and other Indian sites too) - there is...

I confirmed with hardwire.in, and they say their fan is r4-l2r-20cg-gp. This is also the silent fan. If CoolerMaster has discontinued sickle flows (doesn't appear on their website any more), only old stock can help us. Or we can wait for good reviews of the Xtra-Flow fans and see if it lives up...

7-8 years ago, network cards (NICs) started coming with most motherboards. This integration of CPU with motherboard will be similar. So if onboard NIC fails currently, what do you do? Replace motherboard. CPU failure is very uncommon already (as long as there is no overclocking) so motherboard...

This is confusing. Following the part number from COOLER MASTER R4-L2R-20CR-GP 120mm Red LED Case Fan - TheITWares, R4-L2R-20CR-GP, it leads to the silent fan. I heard silent fan doesn't move any air, so is truly silent :). The legendary sickle flows are R4-C2R-20AC-GP as reviewed here 120...

Parts of the PCB cannot be soldered on. So e.g. if integrated graphics is screwed up, whole motherboard has to be replaced. Charging port can be damaged in various ways. If only the external part is damaged, it can be completely resoldered, as good as new. If a integral part of the board is...
