@ Faun, Vickybat
I called up microtek and they sent a technician now who put something in the UPS which he says will regulate the fluctuations better. I dont think I want to get another UPS especially APC as I...

@ ico....
So what do you suggest. i would also like to upgrade to a Radeon 58XX series graphics card and atleast a 2TB HDD in the near future.I have a budget of around 5k. Which PSU should I opt for? Also are Belkin surge protectors worth it? I was looking...
What shall I replace the CM 400 with? Will a different PSU be enough to protect the PC? I was under the impression that it was primarily the job of the UPS to regulate power to the PC and protect the components.
I live in an area with chronic power problems. Outages and voltage fluctuations are common and I have lost two computers (blown capacitors, fried processors) to the surges and brownouts. I used an APC UPS (ES 500) on my last pc and it died before the pc (ACP guy says it needs a new PCB) I have a...

I have old pc with the following config P4 2.66, 2.5 gb ram, Geforce 6200 256 mb AGP card and 80 GB SATA HDD. The Motherboard, an Intel 865 GBF, has got some burnt capacitors. My technician says that the only available replacements are cheap Chinese Motherboards with a warrantee of a year...
I was also thinking about going the SSD way, but like a lot of us am waiting for the prices to come down. I can stretch the budget to about 6.5k but the SSD+WD Green option is still outta reach.What I need for now is space with decent amount of performance, so I have the option of turning the...
Hi am planning to add a webcam and mike. I use a Cooler Master Elite 330 case, the motherboard is an Intel WX58BP Please suggest good brands and prices. I intend to clip the webcam on top of the Monitor.
Thanks guys, I've been using WD for the past 4-5 years after a Seagate died on me, so that's why I prefer WD. And if I am not mistaken, the Black still gives you a 5 year warranty which sorta like pays for the difference. At least for me, the the performance and the peace of mind makes up for...
Thanks, just checked the SMC site, the Black with 32 mb cache is 4950 and 64 mb cache is 5000. Wonder if prices will be any different on the ground.
About WEI, I already have a score of 5.9 with the old WD Blue 500 GB HDD( model no WDC WD5000AAKS 16mb cache). Wonder if anybody gets past that...
Have run out of space and need a new HDD.
Shall I just go for a WD GREEN ( 64 mb cache) or is the WD BLACK (64 mb cache) worth the premium?
I know that the Black trumps the Green in the benchmarks, but what about real world performance?
Have any of you used both and found substantial...
