[QUOTE="terence_fdes, post: 1714599, member: 39628"] TO START THE DAY TODAY - I've landed at work without my spectacles (damm, damm, damm ....:3806fd2b: ), must be this final excitement..... so will not be able to get back to you guys until tonight.....plz bear with me :happy26: Thanks mate for your inputs -[B] Regards PSU[/B] - I think 650/660W would be sufficient for my needs (apart from what I have suggested, I would most likely be adding a few more HDD's ) 750W might be an overkill. The GPU that I would be adding later on (sticking to a budget of upto 15K) is not gonna be a drainer on the PSU, and neither am I ever gonna SLI. So by the time we take to finalise my decision I will stick to 650/660W...... and if it's a must then 750/760W. I will not hold back my budget for this core component.

Basically, I woulld'nt want any extra cable that I would not be using to just hang around the place. And the AX Gold Series is I think more expensive than seasonic & not easily available. The debate of Corsair vs Seasonic Service in India is really very sad. In case I lock onto seasonic (fully modular), I guess I will be willing to take that risk hoping that being a premium product, the likelihood of it ever malfunctioning would be nil. Now about the WD RED or Seagate Constellation - I really do not have any gyan about them (How advantageous / price-to-performance / failure rate etc / I want to avoid RAID based config)..... need more HELP Harryboy ....wots happen'd to your own monstrous rig. Is it up & running ? GPU will come later and a modest Nvidia one upto 15K ....... unless I get some extra moolah from the Koyla-scam :bleh: regards[B] CPU Cooler[/B] : Preference is for an Air Cooler & [B]Why C-14 vs D-14[/B] D-14 is a proven Beast (I have no doubts at all), weighs 1240 gms - now unless it's mounted on a robust metal case OR the whole cabby is kept sleeping, I wouldnt wat to take that risk C-14 (or the single fan C12P-SE14 ) is a more revolutionary design - weighs at 850/1000gms with 1/2 fans (although elsewhere they mention 750 gms) ....

I plan to buy as soon as I am through with all this final round of decision making .... 2-3 weeks max thanks to @[USER=40406]Jakob[/USER] too ... will get back tonight Guy's please do gimme links (if possible) to any radical (not thought about by me) components that you may recommend as also it's pricing/availability [/QUOTE]
