IP35E + E8200 combo will cost me 3.5k over DG31 + E6550. So I'll make the decision on spot tom :)

Samsung OEM Drives don't haf the octo-edge stickers on them.

All branded DVD writable media are Rs.15 (or at the most Rs.20). Unless you buy like 1000 of them there won't be much difference in price.

just 3.5K extra and it will last for an year or two longer. Its worth it.

and DVD media are Rs. 15 ? The reason I asked was because a friend of mine works at Amkette bangalore factory and can get media at Rs. 10(DVD). Is it worth it ?

Can this be overclocked? And how good is the performance?

I think at this price only JETWAY boards are only good.

Thats expensive man! the -E version is lighter on the wallet. However there is no SATA - achi/ide setting in bios in the E version. But apparently there are workarounds for this.

I need to buy a printer ( i have a 5.0 megapixel cannon digicam) and would want to go in for a mid range photo printer. After some research I get the feeling that Epson is good in terms of photo quality. But how is the support and availibility of cartridge/ink color ? Also anythink i should look for in a photo printer. Will check gamut and color range .. but anyother speceific things i should look ? Price budget (under 4 - 4.5 k )
Edit : Will buy the Epson R380 or Canon iP4300

Just another linux lover.
At last I decided to upgrade my system. Its an old system with Celeron 1GHz Processor and 256MB RAM. Now I want something latest. Something which can be upgraded later. I will use this system basically for experimenting virtualization on Linux(Ubuntu) platform. My budget is Rs. 7500(+/- 1000).

Here is what I want...

Intel C2D Processor + Motherboard
1GB RAM (will add more later)
Cabinet
[DVD writer (optional)]

And what I already have.

One 80 GB HDD (ATA)
one 40 GB HDD (ATA)
(I want to use both so the mobo must have two IDE connectors)

DVD-ROM
CD-RW
KB+Mouse
15" CRT Monitor
APC ES-500 UPS

Please suggest me the best possible configuration. (Here is a possible configuration.)

Thanks in advance.

Subrata Bera.

Got the components today.

Core2Duo E8200 - 7.3k
DG33 - 4.6k
1GB x 2 DDR2 800= 2k
BIG 8500GT 256MB = 2.75k
20x SATA Samsung SH-203b/d = 1.1k
Viewsonic va1926w DVI = 8.6k

The market suddenly has shortage of E6550 (or is it a tactic to push E8200?) Coz everywhere I asked they mentioned shortage of E6550.

And in just 2 dayz the price of IP35-E has shot up from 5k to 6k!!! I can't believe it.. every single dealer!

Viewsonic Va1912wb is outta market too :( Nowhere I could get the above mentioned components... Anyways I'm not planning to overclock this system as it'll mosty be used by my family for general purpose computing.

@subrata
you won't find 2 ide connectors in any modern mobo today. Best is to ditch the ide optical drive and get a sata one.
