    75k build, need suggestions for monitor, cabinet and PSU

    I wish to stay away from Intel. I've had a really bad experience with the last three Intel machines I had. OCing is not a strict no for me. I just don't have enough cooling capacity for over clocking. I might do so in future. 2x4GB or 1x8GB? I was thinking about ZEB U1000 Plus (it'll save me...

    In 12th right now, need help planning ahead

    Whoa! Slow down little buddy! Most of us never perform good during +1. Even I scored a 67% in 11th while getting 82 in 10th. So, its nothing much. If you're good at atleast two of P/C/M(Phy./Chem./Maths.) then don't worry, your 12th percentage isn't going anywhere but up. Now, first of all...

    Intel DX58SO and 1600MHz RAM

    OK, got 2 of them replaced just yesterday. Seems like all 3 were corrupt(some probability :| ). The third one will be replaced within the week. Those two are working fine. At first, they were @1066 MHz. Clocked them to multiplier 12 and tCL etc to 9. Working fine for now. Still, I talked...

    Which UPS should I buy

    It is always good to get a higher rated UPS. A 600 VA one will do a decent job, but considering the possibility of upgrades, 800 VA wouldn't be a bad choice either. Spike guard only if you're unsure of the wiring in the location you're using your system. Otherwise, I don't think you'll be...

    It's a ZION 4GB DDR3 PC1600 Dynamic RAM(that's what is written on it). The webpage mentioned is either out-of-date or something. The nearest result I could find regarding zion was this: Zion RAM - CompareZion RAM Price Online India

    Need a UPS for my rig, please suggest !!

    I bought the UPS just today, Microtek's 1050 VA. My config is the same as yours, except that I have DX58SO board, and 2 HDDs of 2TB and 320GB. Normally, a new UPS has an efficiency of 0.80 and later it decreases to 0.65 to 0.60. So, 1 kVA UPS will initially be capable to run 800 W and later...

    Supplementary in 12th board

    Sir, you have earned lvl:9000 respect from me. :) As saswat said, getting CS branch is quite easy these days. But, seriously DO NOT opt for IT instead of CS. There are companies which differentiate b/w the two a lot. Instead try getting a mathematical and computing branch.

    Yep! The installation stops(kind of) at around 95% for 40 or so minutes and then suddenly it says installation completed. :) I installed Backtrack on my USB drive using UNetBootin and another 8 GB temporary USB drive with the ISO. :)

    Intel DX58SO and 1600MHz RAM

    The RAMs came, and I tried using them. When I installed the modules on the board and started the system, the system remains on with no activity. There is nothing displayed on the monitor either. What could be the problem. Under normal circumstances, the system atleast proceeds to BIOS. I...
