Well I would like to share my experiences also. First of all I have seen a lot of dirt being tossed on Seagate HDD ands PSU's by companies like Frontech etc. I've been using a 400GB Seagate SATA HDD for last 2 years and recently added another Seagate 160GB HDD to my system. Also my Frontech cabinet had a 350W Frontech PSU bundled with it and till now I haven't got a single glitch from the two. You might call me lucky and in PSU's case I might be but I use my machine for downloading purposes(HOME 1350 UL) so my system is practically ON 24x7 so acc. to some of you Frontech PSU should have gone kaput by this time but it hasn't and proving to be quite sturdy, but I'm gonna change it soon(Better Safe than Sorry;)).
Yeah on Burners front, my initial Sony DVD Writer burnt out just in a year. Since I had replacement warranty on it so I threw in 150 bucks more and got myself a Samsung DVD writer which is working very good right now.
My T6060 is all boom boom bang bang no chhun chhun. Also its wired remotes cable has already got itself vasectomies and since no shitty replacement is available for the remote alone gotta do with some desi jugaad :x

^^^hmm. 8400GS is definitely better than the Intel IGP. as suggested by keith, take it to the service center and get it checked.

I have got my friend a netgear USB dongle, will check if he is gettin any issues with this. If it is then its really bad. I actually went by the name netgear, they provide good wireless solutions, my sis' system has got netgear wireless card(not USB) it is working alright.

Deal all, reading your posts one can guess we should not buy any hardware of any brand. Please don't quote all this. Whenever you buy some hardware look the company background, quality and service. This can be better judged from past experience, online & magazine reviews.

Thats' the reason why I am updating the list in the first post (based on multiple inputs).

there are some posts in the thread that are subjective to the user. That doesn't mean that the product is bad. But there are some products like Mercury motherboards, local made speakers that really really sucks. That's why this thread is. At least, people will know what's good and what's bad.

Dear friend...

May I also help you updating the basic list, as I'm also very serious about the bad and good companies. And my opinion regarding a brand will be Yes or No.

I don't no if ppl. here will agree with me or not but i feel that Intex products aren't that bad and i say this purely on my experience.The intex products i use are: mouse,keyboard,cabinet,psu,2.1 speakers.I've never had any problems with any one them for the last 4 yrs.However i feel the the speakers aren't that good but that's coz i chose the model that was very cheap.My friend has recently bought intex 2.1 speakers at Rs.750 (a little expensive than mine) and they work fine.However they won't give u audio experience that u can get from "creative" but at that price what more could u expect.I would say that Intex provides good(not great though) products at low prices,ideal for a budget pc.

Intex psus r the worst of the lot.had to replace psu 5 times when under warranty.all these local psus r good only for powering the most basic of the pcs.also these psus hav pwr jitter probs.

Supercom ups r not good.u can get 1 for bout 1.5k for 600va.my vendor mostly sell this ups and these r the ones that come back for repairing every other day.
