    Office PC for 15K - Advice needed

    Hi Sunil, my friend feels that he'd be better off with a motherboard with an HDMI port. He doesn't mind spending 1-1.5K more for it. Which one would you recommend in that case? Thanks. I'd recommend him to get a WD blue. WD green only if the budget turns out to be extremely tight.

    Thanks Sunil. Will discuss with my friend and come back. Thanks DK_WD. WD Green is a power saver drive. Could you let me know why you are recommending that over WD Blue?

Kindly let me know if some...

    Nice review Vicky. A friend is thinking of getting an Android One. I know the phones are identical. But which company has the best after sales service among the three?

    Thanks for the info. I contacted theitdepot and got to know that the 280X that they have in stock comes with factory seal. So, I think the MD guy is lying. What say?

    Thanks. But 280X is way out of my budget. 15K was my original budget. Thanks. I looked at his recent feedbacks. They are not that good. Some people have complained of poor packaging, tampered MRP stickers etc. Not sure what to do. BTW, I asked the MD Computers guy if the Sapphire R9 280X 4GB...

    ^^Thanks guys. I started looking around and got to know that Asus R9 280X DCII Top has severe artifacting issues. So the chances of it making it to R9 280 are high. Knowing how much of a pain replacements and RMAs are, here in India, I thought of getting something different. I thought of...

    The wait may be a problem. I have been on opboard GPU since last Dec and have got tired of it. Bought loads of games during the recent Steam sales. Wanna play some of them. Based on recent history, how long do you think it might take for the price drops?

    The air shipping costs around 200. Almost everywhere, R9 280 is 19K+. Oops. Thanks for the link. But would the price drops really reflect here in India? BTW, if I decide to wait for the Tonga, it won't come to India before September right?

    Thanks for all the replies guys. Never expected so many replies in such a short time. The explanation by the dealer that the box is opened for testing itself reeked of dog $#1T :D Why would they put it in the box in the first place if they want to test? LOL Revolution I can understand what you...

    Hey guys, I'm planning to buy a Sapphire R9 270X Dual X. The dealer said that all Sapphire cards come without sealed box/come with seal opened. Is it true or is the dealer BSing me? Here are the dealer's words, Sapphire owners, please help. TIA

    Need UPS for Corsair VX550

    OK. Thanks. I'll consider the UPS then. Regarding the RAMs, I have Ripjaws bought in June 2010(not Ripjaws X). They are throwing up a lot of errors. So, considering RMA. But the dealer is saying they only carry 3 years of warranty. Is he BSing me?

    Need UPS for Corsair VX550

    OK, thanks. Thanks. Would the PSU be in too much trouble if it is run off the UPS for 2-5 minutes everyday? Also, which one is more risky? Not connecting the PC to the UPS(ignoring data loss) and letting it turn off automatically <OR> Feeding active PFC PSU through stepped up sine wave power...

    Need UPS for Corsair VX550

    Thanks. I think 1.1kVA is better as it'll provide more headroom. My PSU takes in 625W when it outputs 500W. It may provide more headroom if I overclock the CPU. The price difference is not huge between the two. Is there any better alternative for the APC one under 6k?
