yes. it doesn't. But why do you need a writer in every terminal of internet centre?

and also, what's the max budget for each system?

Is it okay to use thin clients.

is my hard disk going to crash.....what is with the yellow bar...

Does it look like this?? Then its OK, its a seagate bug and shows with every Seagate HDD(SATA), if other fields are yellow then its a problem and it can crash.

My friend wants a gaming PC around 40k, DX11 is not needed and he also needs a small monitor(17"-19") so this is what I suggested:

Athlon II X4 620 2.6GHz @ 5k
Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-UD2H @ 5.5k
4GB DDR3 1333MHz Transcend/Kingston @ 5.5k
Zebronics Bijli @ 1.3k
Microsoft Multimedia Keyboard/Mouse Combo @ 0.8k
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB @ 2.4k
LG 22x DVD @ 1.1k
LG 17" LCD Monitor @ 6.5k
Corsair VX450W @ 4.1k
Sapphire HD4850 512MB GDDR3 @ 6.9k
APC 650VA @ 3k

Please comment and make suggestions.

He's a total idiot, what about the rest of the rig?? I've never used a GB mobo myself, so wondering about the quality and lifetime.

 

[azaad_shri75]

GB main boards are good and sturdy, my first one was from it and now with my friend, still in use and its almost 7years old.

My suggestion is
Phenom II X4 965 3.4GHz B.E. C3 @ 7.7k
MSI 785GM-E51 @ 4.6k
2 GB Kingston 1333 MHz DDR3 @ 2.4k
Zebronics Bijli Cabinet @ 1.4k
Gigabyte 80 Plus Active PFC 460W @ 2.2k
XFX HD4870 1GB GDDR5 @ 9.4k or Zotac GTX260 896MB GDDR3 @ 9.5k
BenQ G2020HD 20" LCD Monitor @ 6.5k
Seagate 500 GB Sata @ 2.3k

total is 36.3k

Now you can reduce your price by goinfg for the below mentioned alternatives
Phenom II X4 925 2.8GHz @ 6.7k
and XFX HD4850 512MB GDDR3 @ 6.3k

 

[Krow]

Better buy a better PSU like Corsair VX450W @ 4k. GTX260 and 4870 are seriously power hogging.

 

[topgear]

^^ +1 or else get HD5770 which consumes power less than even a 9800GT

 

[techmaniack]

AMD phenom2 X4 965 BE @7.7k???
10 days back it was 9.6K!!!
