    Airtel broadband tariff hike.......

    I called Failtel to terminate my connection in the hopes of getting ACT broadband, and yet again they brainwashed me into taking their 16Mbps plan costing Rs.1500 + tax. FUP hits me at 60GB, up from previous 30. 60GB is not anything spectacular, but definitely an improvement.

    ALPHA17, The Indian customs duty for computer peripherals (not applicable for printers and the like) is 14.71 percent. But I also got to know from one of the distributors that, most of the time they don't pay this figure. Something like 5 percent is paid under the table and the shipment is...

    Suggestions required for a ultra-compact but powerful desktop

    @ALPHA17 There are 4 3.5" bays in the vulcan, 2 at the bottom and 2 at the top. And there should not be any heating issues with mini ITX as OP has no intentions of overclocking. Fact that Silverstone has produced so many mini ITX cases and its wide acceptance by enthusiasts should give us an...

    Suggestions required for a ultra-compact but powerful desktop

    I just want to add something here. The Silverstone SG02 may look small, but it has a huge foot print. Almost 11 inches wide and 16 inches deep. If you really want to buy a case similar to the one you have short listed, buy a mini ITX board and a mini ITX case. They have a smaller foot print, of...

    CPU/Mobo General purpose, low cost PC components

    Just checked with a couple of shops in SP Road and nobody seems to have the 555BE, they suggested me Athlon 560 at Rs.4200 + vat. So this is ruled out. The other day I was discussing about E350 based board+APU with Dinesh and he said it would work out much cheaper to go for Athlon II x2 260 at...

    Airtel disconnection tactic

    Normally with Fail-tel, the day you request for the termination, the billing freezes until the retention team calls you with all their useless free goodies that they are ready to shower upon you. Your incident is one of their classic billing department blunders, or a tactic to leach out more...

    Wordpress : Adding custom links to Menu

    Just did a wordpress local install and they seem to have limited the menu links to two. You can create the menu in the menu creator but it does not show up. I suggest you use a different theme, or adding code to the theme after every update is the only way.
