Hi,
I have to build 2 rigs this weekend. Would need suggestion and rough price guide (Bangalore)
1. For myself. It will be mainly used for running vmware/vitrualbox instances. I need dual core as my q6600 is already killing my UPS. Might also watch HD movies over weekends.
I only need -
Motherboard - Suggestions needed with IGP and DDRII
Processor - Possibly PII 550 (Any power efficient alternative, but still has some punch in performance?)
HDD - 500gb (Have a diff HDD for storing instances)
Cabby + PSU - As cheap as possible but should have stability
Optical drive - Think will go for cheapest of LG/Samsung/....
I already have -
DDR2 ram
22" Monitor
KB + Mice
What would be the cheapest possible config for the above??
Budget - ~13-14k ideally, but pretty ok with stretching as long as it provides some value.
2. For my cousin -
Usage - MS office, Downloading snaps from digicam, minor photoshop work, printing documents and photos, playing music, part time gaming for 4+ year old kid
His aim is to keep this setup for next 3-4years
Needs -
Mobo, proccy, RAM, HDD, Optical drive, Cabby (think cheapo PSU should do), KB, Mouse
Already has - Monitor and printer
Budget - 10-12k ideal, can stretch to 15k
TIA
