Creating an extremely low cost Value PC

[gxsaurav]

Yes, but then the cost of motherboard + CPU in AMD config will cost more then the Intel Config.

The Intel Configs costs Rs 5,700 in Lucknow. Can you find out the cost of AMD Athlon64 X2 4600+ & the Gigabyte motherboard u were telling about

 

[axxo]

nope..the one(motherboard) i suggested is for intel.

now for amd Gigabyte Technology GA-M68SM-S2 - 2900
AMD 4600+ -3100 that makes a total of 6k for the config

 

[amit_at_stg]

plz give cost detail of each item so that we can compute the total cost of the pc

 

[gxsaurav]

You can check the prices on theitwares.com

gx_saurav again a rocking article from u.
U r the best man.
But, y r u calling it Core 2 Duo E2180, it is called Intel Dual Core E2180.
And, there is a vast difference between C2D & Dual Core.

 

[gxsaurav]

^^^ Name fixed

 

[axxo]

actually speaking both dual core and core2duo are based on same architecture ...with the exception being the former comes with less size cache...correct me if its wrong

why do recommend APC 650VA UPS?

why not a cheap local brand like Microtech?

 

[axxo]

is that microtek? or microtech?
btw microtek sucks bigtime...their backup time is poor so as their battery life.

 

[gxsaurav]

I recommended APC because cost difference between APC 500 VA or 650 VA & local brand UPS isn't much but a clean power supply is a must for any computer.

Nice work . . . I pity myself being in such a backward place now . . . 1 gb Ram costs more than 1200 here . . .

 

[gary4gar]

I recommended APC because cost difference between APC 500 VA or 650 VA & local brand UPS isn't much but a clean power supply is a must for any computer.

As per theitwares
APC 650 3300/-
APC 500VA 2550/-
and surprisingly
PowerSafe 600VA is available for 1950/-

Does Apc really worth to spend those hard earned extra money on a extremely low cost Value PC?

 

[gxsaurav]

I prefer APC that's why I selected. A user can go for whatever he likes. The main factor when buying a UPS is stable voltage & good backup of at least 5 mins (to shut down properly)

 

[dOm1naTOr]

Hykon Beta 600 UPS for 1750/- is gud one for its price. Ive selected it for some of my friends whove been using it for 2 years now. Just the backup was reduced from 16~18 min to 8~10 min.
Me too have one, but i cant blame it for not supporting the total load of my PC [a power hungry X2 older 939 socket, a 17" flat CRT, a 5.1, 7600GT and two HDDs].
And Hykon has 2yr warranty too.

 

[gxsaurav]

Not all brands are available everywhere equally. APC is same everywhere, Powersafe, Frontech etc are also good but again not equally available everywhere.

 

[dOm1naTOr]

gud tute dude.
But its not a lowest vfm config.
@gx_saurav
cud u add more than one choices for eacg catogory with prices?

like Asus M2N MX SE mobo @ 2.3k for Am2 platform and
Biostar or EVGA 630i Ultra mobo for Intel?

And HCL 15" CRT for 3k with 3yr warranty wud be a gud enuf for real extremely low cost PC.
Zebronics MM deskset has real vfm at 450/-.

Not all brands are available everywhere equally. APC is same everywhere, Powersafe, Frontech etc are also good but again not equally available everywhere.

is frontech good?

 

[gxsaurav]

Frontech is good enough.
