they have shot up like anything.....
Nice configs though i will be going for a amd x2 config
thanks....
2 factors in case of this...one is of course the USD - INR which is hitting all the components alike but for the HDDs the bigger havoc was created by the floods in Thailand. Globally there is a shortage in HDDs although most people expect it will be normal again by Jan end or so
And since we are on the USD - INR issue, I thot I'll add my 2 bit - I am doubtful that the rupee will hit 58 as has been predicted by many analysts. THe RBI will act much before that... there are already talks of a rate cut as early as Jan...this will definitely help the INR as well. So *fingers crossed* I'd expect rupee in remain at the current levels probably 53-55 range for a while before coming lower at around 50...which is indeed a sweet spot. That said I'd expect a drop in prices for computer components by Feb-Mar (due to some lag effect)...
