Thanks a lot desiibond, that is the advice I was looking for... Let me concentrate for Intel/NVidia stuff only and not AMD/ATI. I know my budget is pretty low, but only looking for a file server (only will be running CVS on it), and occasionally will use it for browsing, and torrent download...

Can somebody please help...???

I am looking to build a new desktop system, which Consumes very low power (<40W for CPU+MoBo desired) Cheap (<5k for CPU+Graphics-built-in MoBo) Extremely stable (looking to use as server 24x7) Ubuntu Linux compatible (Not being a Linux-pro, I am just looking to do a vanilla Ubuntu...

Does anybody now, if D945GCLF2 (Dual Core Atom + MoBo with Graphics) is available in Kolkata or not? I asked several shops in Chandni, and all of them are saying "Intel distributor in Kolkata hasn't heard of it".... :cry: If it is available in Kolkata, can you please tell me where to get it...

Thanks for the suggestion, sounds excellent! What is the cabinet I should buy for this? Is the normal ATX cabinet good? I believe normal ATX would be bulky, and the local SMPS itself will consume quite a bit of power, and make good noise... but what about prices? :-? Thoroughly confused...

Hi, I want to assemble a new budget PC, in which I want to setup a Linux server. Budget is a constraint, as less as possible. For Mobo+Procy+RAM, not willing to spend more than 6k, if possible. Also am looking for a cheap LCD monitor, which supports minimum 1024x768, if possible @6k or less -...

Excellent, thanks again. I'll probably buy the system in next few days, and will post the prices in the other thread. Quick question, few of the shop-keepers were saying, price increases during the Puja-Dussera season, and I should wait till Diwali... Is that really so?

Thanks a lot Choto Cheeta, for the suggestions. You are dead right with your guess about my budget :). I just have 2 questions, may sound very naive, or illogical, but please help :(. As my CAD design simulations would be very graphics intensive, do you think I should go for 512MB XFX 8600GT...

Hi, Need your advice in building a new AMD based PC, which will be used mainly for 3D-CAD design, and simulation (SolidWorks, AutoCAD etc.), and 3D-animation (3D Studio Max). Hence, definitely would need a good grfx card, and would need a good MoBo, on-board grfx not required. Probably would be...
