Re my system upgrade: Thanks to all of you guys for your encouraging comments. Re: anirbandd (1st post) and CyberKID - It is not a new build but just an upgrade, as I have mentioned in the intro, and I have only replaced or added (an SSD) the components I listed. As for the GPU, you can see in...

My ancient rig, built around Aug 2009, has been due for an upgrade for a long time, but I have been too busy to get the time to do the necessary market search and, of course, the time to do the actual purchase. Last month (10/02/2016) I finally took the plunge – egged on by the need to upgrade...

Can anyone please tell me where in Kolkata (North or Central) I can find transparent Perspex sheets cut to size specified by me?

Thanks a lot for such a prompt reply, and that too including such detailed directions! Nevertheless, I would have liked a shop not that far South, preferably in the North or central part of the city. Is there any? Or, may be I should ask for home delivery, as you suggested. I know I am a bit...

I shall very much appreciate if you kindly post the address and phone number of this APC shop/service station. I need a similar battery urgently.

Made the following purchases over the time a while ago: Corsair Force GT 240 GB SSD, 1TB WD Black, Epson L355 MFD, D-Link DWA-525 WiFi Card (for my Epson MFD), D-Link DIR-600L Cloud Router and D-Link DSL-2520U ADSL2 Router (for BSNL Broadband service), Windows 8 Pro x64.

Oh, NO! Then I will be banned too! :cry: Please, please, don't do that!:wah:

Both. In the sense that, as I have mentioned in the "Post your latest purchase" thread, I have my own priorities ("satisfaction", if you will), but I shall never go over my present bank balance even if I am drooling over a gadget. I don't believe in the strategy of "beg, borrow or steal"...

I have been following this series of posts debating the merits and demerits of expensive watches with all sorts of bells and whistles, versus the relatively inexpensive ones! So I thought ... ... let me add something to it! Well, while I have nothing against very expensive watches or, for that...

I have two 120mm fans in push-pull configuration for my Noctua NH-U12P cooler on socket 1366 i7 processor. I have one 120mm rear exhaust fan, one 120mm front intake fan (near the HDDs), one 200mm intake fan on the side panel and 3x120mm top exhaust fans and one 120mm intake fan at the bottom of...

I wonder why so many people are refraining from quoting the price of their purchases straightaway! Every time someone has to ask for the price, is that the idea? Sunny4691' HTC (original post), Gollum's Watch, DeadCode00's purchases; what gives?

Please explain/elaborate.

Me too, but "with USB 3 and/or SATA 6Gbps ports".

Hmm, looks like most options are a bit iffy! May be someone who is using Seagate Backup Plus for saving system image through Windows 8 can share his experience. Nah, that sounds too restrictive a request! May be I shall continue to use my old 500GB WD Caviar Green HDDs for saving system images...

Thanks mate for the elaborate explanation. :-?

Yeah, that's exactly is my point too! It's working fine on my existing WD Green HDDs (used externally). But I am out of luck with Seagate Backup Plus (1TB) if I use Windows to do the job? I just don't get it!

I use the Backup option in Windows 8 itself, curiously named "Windows 7 File Recovery", which you can use to save system image, data files, or both. In my case "system" is comprised of the partitions C (OS) and D (Applications Software). Following your post, if Acronis disk image works, windows...

I have one question. I heard that Seagate Backup Plus series of drives can only be used for data backup, and that it is not possible to save system images on them! Could that possibly be true, or that's true only when using the included backup software from Seagate? I understand you are using...

Hmm! Talk about batteries on a High! :wink: Let's call it a PortaLap, shall we? :wink::wink:
