:D ,

500 diffeence is ok, coz rates differ from city to city ! the only thing you should remember is that you get a motherboard which is future proof ( well, there is no thing thats future proof :D , but for coming year i may say )

get a motherboard with PCIe 2.0 and atleast 4 ram slots ( which is alsmot in all boards now )

as you mentioned before you budget is 30k, you might wanna go for ASUS 780G with a AMD X2 4800+ or if you can get get a X3 :) ,
ups is must for your purchase :)

22" might be form 15k or so..
Creative 5.1 rocks , but if you want for music its altec :D

I got it From Kukreja Electronics in 3rd Block Jaynagar.

In my opinion you should've got yourself a Samsung 943NWX LCD which was costing only 9400/- in hyderabad CTC.

I think if he is in for a relatively low budget PC, he should instead go for a cheaper Gigabyte or Zotac 780G motherboard, or, even lower, a Zotac GeForce 8200 board. With the last option, he can manage to wriggle out enough money to get a X3 :D

no mate. I think that Viewsonic display is better. It's resolution is 1680x1050, 2ms response time, has DVI and VGA ports. Samsung 943NWX lags behing this particular model by a mile. It's a shame that samsung does not include a DVI port on most of it's current gen LCD's.

Checked few models online and they say that this viewsonic monitor a good performer.

another question: do you need express gate ?

some1 suggest me which g31 mobo i should use to pair my e7200 with it .abit ip35 e has issues so not going for it now. max budget 3.3k .no intel originals plz.
 
Dude congratulations. I have NO idea about synthetic benchmarks since I am so used to doing things the old fashioned way:

see the time taken to encode Digit Don DVD (ah... those were the days of digit mag) to XviD high quality 700MB video with Vorbis ABR 128kbps using Handbrake

Play Crysis and at the same time browse in IE for cheatcodes

While doing the above ripping, also browse firefox with 20 tabs open and listening to audio from music player

etc

Hadrcore old fashioned but most realistic. If it satisfies you, consider the result positive ;)

I guess only hellgate or darklord or similar benchmark guru can help you... :(

I suggest getting an Intel Dot Station computer. It is a small computer with everything built into the monitor. It looks quite good, reminding us of classical iMacs. It has 64mb RAM, 300MHz Celeron, Intel 810 Motherboard, 10GB HDD and a 14" Colour Monitor. It has TouchPad within the keyboard instead of a mouse and comes with a phone on top for calling and dial-up.

It costs Rs. 3640 including taxes.

This is definitely one of the weakest computers ever by today's standards, but it fits his needs and Windows 98 perfectly. :)
WOW!
What and Idea yaar
Thanks Gautam

Actually my Uncle who lives in Our Hometown want a Small PC for Typing and Little Internet work
So this suits perfect
and I can also give him this low budget PC as a Gift :D

One Question

Can we connect Printer and PS/2 in Intel Dot Station ?

I don want a graphics card if itz too much expensive and crosses my budget . if u can fit it in within 35 k itz fine..
let me repeat again : i am not that serious gamer. i pleay only fifa, CS,GTA kinda games. and i use pc for much of multimedia like watchin tv, movies n listenin music.

then i dunno watz express gate.
