I was getting 9200/- for P5Q Pro at Nehru Place, Delhi and in that price too I knew dealer was keeping his full cut 'cause the final quote he gave me was for 9150/- for ASUS P5Q Pro! I bought P5QC for 10K.

I too have Lightscribe capable DVD Writer from ASUS but the media isn't easily available so no use of going for one unless u get media bundled with the drive.

what do i do bro.... these dealers in chennai talk about stupid TN VAT.... so even if i get it shipped from some other state... it works the same price for me.... so 9550 is the best price i can get in chennai.... :(

actually it has more to do with the price increase ...u will get everything costly ..and plasma snake bought it ..it wasn't that costly ..since last week prices are soaring sky high

so wats the best bet i get...?? is it that if ur spending a 40k today it means that you could hav bought the same at 35k a week or 2 before..??:-(

yups something like that cos

most of processor prices have gone up by 600 to 1k
mobo prices have gone up by the same amount
RAM is almost the same ...
gfx card prices have also gone up by 500 rupees or more
same is with PSU ...

so u can add up those things ...i m talking in very approimate terms ..but still i think if u assemble a system it could well be atleast 3k costly today

yes but @ 10 k MSI P45 platinum is awesome performer ...while P5Q deluxe costs 12k ...support is always a great issue with MSI ...even at my place i don't get MSI mobo cos of its bad support ..but if support is good

again can't compare asus P5Q deluxe ..but sometomes in certain price range MSI steals the show ...there is no replacement for P45neo in 6k range ...in 8-9 k Asus P5Q is best ...

10k -P45 platinum is cool and

@12k is awesome ...

but again @ 13.8k X48 C platinum is simply the best ..i mean X48 chipset mobo @ such price is steal

hence i said MSI mobo ...are good ..if u get the support ...

hey already had read the tomshardware review, thats what I added Zalman coolers they will keep system hell a lot cool, that is why Platinum is better in package. To get to that level the cooler + Asus P5Q Pro cost goes high. P5Q Pro is great performer but to keep it cool you will need a good cooler.
In long run all mobos get heaten up until and unless kept in constant cooling options.
