:p Thanks fr the big welcome people! Really appreciate it. :eek:
Sorry I keep posting after huge intervals. Trust me I am really enthus'd about a Calcutta forum where geeks like me can knock heads and be understood. So I read each and every post in this thread from the very beginning (including all the branching links) to catch up on everything.
I'm largely surrounded by folk who judge a Computer by how many lights u have on the cabby:( . So it feels good to be here.:)

@Choto Cheeta:
I hv heard a lot about u frm Booby, and was really eager to meet u. Tried waiting as long as poss that day. Anywaz i'm sure I'm not gonna miss the next G2G:D . U've gotta b the best person to gv me sm serious download on all that I've missed in the last 3 years >> Counting on you fr that.

Brethren,
(Please lemme know if I am posting this in the wrong thread.)
The last PC I was using was a P4 2.4Ghz; Intel 865GBF; 512MB DDR 400Mhz; XFX FX5600XT. There was no way i could upgrade this dinosaur(in the extinct sense:p ).
Somebody offered to buy it off for 13.5K;) and could not help but accept it:rolleyes: .
:( But I had sold it off b4 I could research for a new one on the net.
And now my only sahara is the office net :( which is highly restricted, so I have to bypass the blockades n chori chupe use it to post here. (So please bear with me if I take a bit too long to reply).

Anyways, now I need some serious suggestions on what would be a good buy within a 30k(+-3k) budget.

I did a bit of Digging and come up wid this:

AMD X2 5200+ (2.6Ghz with 2MB L2 Cache)
Asus M2N-E (non SLI)
Transcend 1GB DDR II 800Mhz
Seagate 160GB SATA II
ASUS DVD RW
Zeb Bijli+Zeb Platinum 400W PSU (or probably CoolerMaster Extreme 500W if I can afford it:) )
Viewsonic 19" Wide VA1912wb with DVI input.
Will add the Gfx card later when I can afford an 8800GTS:p

:D Eagerly awaiting comments and suggessions:D

They between 700 to 900 !!! :) as depends on the brand and shop you are in...

Where as a 80 GB Palm Drive (Lappy HDD with USB Casing) would cost Rs. 2400/- + TAX so a exact 2500 incl TAX :D

Great info Sourav, thanks.

Now you are tempting me to buy a 80 GB one :D

Basically I am planning to use Linux as my second OS, but I would not like to install GRUB in HDD, you know how touchy Windows is about MBR and I had burnt my finger once. :)

The latest Ubuntu allows to install the GRUB in a USB stick, so is my hunt. :)

BTW, which one is for Rs 700 and where to get it? Chandni shops are notorious about price variation so if you know any shop that will be helpful. Is there any 2 nd hand one available for cheap?

^^most of the time u'll come across Transcend old stock...so check the model number before u buy, n as Saurav said, u can easily get a 80gig lappy hdd with case within that budget.

as for getting Ubuntu to run off usb, rv_kaustav a.k.a Kaustav here, got Ubuntu to run off his 40gig usb hdd flawlessly

No garuv, I do not mean to run Ubuntu from an external HDD, rather I just want to install the GRUB in USB stick. :) The main nstallation will remain on my internal HDD.

most of the time u'll come across Transcend old stock...so check the model number before u buy

can you explain this in a little more detail?

Thanks for your reply.
