    What is pcstudio.in like?

    Could you share why you didn't want to go with Vedant/MDComputers? I would have personally preferred local shops since like you mentioned there were several parts to be shipped. Pricing-wise I have noticed even Vedant/MDComputers are usually similar.

    Best places to find working cheap digicams in Banglore?

    You can try jjmehta forums classified, but it's a classified similar to the one here, so might take time. Another option, try calling Jayesh Mehta shop - Foto circle - https://g.co/kgs/BLRF4CP. This is a pretty old shop and has been a reputable one, though prices when I had last checked several...

    PC Peripherals Mechanical keyboard to purchase

    Currently using a Skyloong SK87 with Gateron Brown switches, pretty happy with it. Not much of a gamer, mostly typing/productivity use. Using with 2 different systems (mac and pc) simultaneously, speed of switching is ok as well. You can lookup similar config keyboard maybe, since believe this...

    What is pcstudio.in like?

    I have bought multiple items from them a few times so far, my experience has been decent. When I had bought very high value items earlier like GPU, they even called to confirm and shipped fast within Bangalore, and packaged the items well. Their local shop is called Ankit Infotech in SP Road...

    Cheap psu recommendation on my cheap build

    Would reiterate the suggestions above. Either save for future upgrade or go with a good used PSU, though you might have to wait. If you are particular about getting a new PSU right away, these could be few options - or can try for same PSUs during amazon/flipkart sales. - MSI MAG A550BN -...

    CPU/Mobo What's the best possible cpu for gigabyte b760 ds3h ddr4 (atx)

    Would be tough to recommend something without knowing budget. There are various good options at various prices. And what is your primary usage, gaming or productivity? And knowing rest of your rig specs including monitor resolution, will also help. Last point - 12400f is a decent processor for...

    40K+ Suggest a flagship (S24 Ultra - Pixel 9 Pro - iPhone 16 pro?)

    Currently Pixel 9 XL Pro user here, not liking it. Previously used S20 / S23 (still have them) and I might go back to S23 / S23 Plus. My personal opinion about Pixel 9 compared to last gen Samsung flagships - photos are bland (honestly dont want to spend much time in post processing, so liked...

    How do you clean PC fans ?

    One decent option is using a paint brush like this (about an inch wide) available at hardware stores - can reach narrow areas of the fan/fan blades to a decent extent, and since the brush isnt too small, makes the work a bit easier - Option I just started using - a powerful air blower - with...

    0-20k Good 4k 120hz supported hdmi cable

    Just get one of the HDMI ultra certified cables from a reputed brand - Honeywell, Bluerigger if the budget is not an issue. Since using with a tv, even in future no need to be concerned about full compatibility about possible future uses like PS5 or soundbar upgrades etc.

    I got this - "BlueRigger Ultra Series 8K HDMI to HDMI" - few years back, decent quality, works well with 4k @ 120hz with 4:4:4 - https://www.amazon.in/dp/B08GLW3NND?th=1

    21-30k Refurbished or Reused - Lenovo ThinkPad with good build quality, and good upgradability

    It was a Thinkpad Yoga X1 3rd gen, it has been 4+ years actually. Lately feels slowish because of the limited ram and no upgrade options & older gen cpu, and I am not too mindful with my chrome tabs always. :) Although at the time worked well and did not face issues. Lately has started showing...

    Amazon Deals and Discounts - 2025

    Just bought this - XPOWER A-2S Multi Electric Computer Duster, after speculating to get it from sometime. Might be bit overkill for some, but should help a lot with cleaning pc case quickly. Price usually is at 3.99k, now at 3.39k. It has gone to lowest of 2.99k earlier but not very frequently...

    21-30k Refurbished or Reused - Lenovo ThinkPad with good build quality, and good upgradability

    In my case, the seller I bought the laptop from, also assured any future repairs if needed and parts availability from him. Even for the laptop, initially I was given 3 months warranty and turned out to be fine.

    Shocking 5G mobile data consumption on Jio.

    If the device allows, try forcing it to use only 5G network. Or there are some workarounds to get this done on some devices, but it's flaky. Jumping between 5G and 4G happens a lot for me too though in a metro city and near city center.

    Online PC Component sellers

    An Indian version of Microcenter / Newegg would be so good to have here. Especially when it comes to warranty claims, things become tedious. Especially for companies which service the warranty through thirdparties - so guess majority of the companies. The thirdparties which I had dealt with in...

    21-30k Refurbished or Reused - Lenovo ThinkPad with good build quality, and good upgradability

    Usually should be easily available through similar refurbish laptop dealers, but Thinkpad parts will also bit on the expensive side compared to HP/Dell counterparts.

    Anyone using FTTH with their own SFP based router instead of CPE provided by ISP?

    Could you share how you sourced this SFP module. And is it XPON or GPON/EPON variant? Any idea how this one compares against HSGQ SFP module. I am using one of the local ISPs in my city, so not entirely sure whether they would be compatible with all SFPs and even whether it's possible at all...

    0-20k Budget Case and Cooler

    My previous suggestions still stand. Regardless, since budget is a constraint here, few options from the offers I can see right now - - Case already suggested earlier - do not have much idea about cases below/around 2k, and think their quality might not be good for the money. Perhaps might be...
