Hi, my current PC is no longer functional, it had some heat sink issue for a while, and now it's just dead; time for a replacement I guess. I would like to setup a media server system 4-5 months down the line, but for the moment am looking for a basic PC since I don't have the cash to splash. Details below.
- Q: What is your budget?
- 25K
- Q: What is your existing hardware configuration (component name - component brand and model)
- CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo
- Motherboard - Intel something
- RAM - Transcend 1X2GB
- Monitor - Dell 22"
- Hard disk - Seagate Barracuda 7200 - 500 GB
- Q: Which hardware will you be keeping (component name - component brand and model)
- Monitor - Dell 22"
- Hard disk - Seagate Barracuda 7200 - 500 GB
- Q: Which hardware component are you looking to buy (component name). If you have already decided on a configuration then please mention the (component brand and model) as well, this will help us in fine tuning your requirement.
- Any CPU
- Any Motherboard - any compatible motherboard
- Any RAM
- Any Case and SMPS
- Any UPS - 10/15 mins backup is sufficient.
- Q: Is this going to be your final configuration or you would be adding/upgrading a component in near future. If yes then please mention when and which component
- I think i'll leave it as-is, and build a new pc for a media server.
- Q: Where will you buy this hardware? (Online/City/TE Dealer)
- Chennai - probably Delta
- Q: Would you consider buying a second hand hardware from the TE market
- No.
- Q: What is your intended use for this PC/hardware
- Browsing
- MS Office 2010 (Word/Excel/Powerpoint)
- downloads
- Q: Do you have any brand preference or dislike? Please name them and the reason for your preference/dislike.
- not sure about asus. Would like something that's compatible with the data on my existing HDD - it's loaded with windows 7, and i'd be happier if i could load in my hdd into the new build and just have to update the drivers instead of reinstalling the os. The reason is I have lots of data on my os drive (C drive) - i realise that was pretty stupid of me - and i would rather not go through the trouble of having to backup the data.
- Q: If you will be playing games then which type of games will you be playing?
- None - got a ps 3, and the only game i play is FIFA, so..:happy26:..
- Q: What is your preferred monitor resolution for gaming and normal usage
- Not sure. The higher the better?
- Q: Are you looking to overclock?
- No
- Q: Which operating system do you intend to use with this configuration?
- Windows 7 32 bit (should i be going for 64?)
