Hardware price list/spec sheet

yah, checked on ECS website. its SB850. damn. 880G + SB850 (i.e. native Sata 6Gbps) for below 5k. Asus/Gigabyte/MSI should be shamed of it.

they are shameless creatures..........even the old p45 chipset boards are sold very costly even today especially Asus ones always too costly..........and shameless creatures like me :lol:do buy those stuff:lol:

Hey man, internal BD drive was costing around 6-7 k couple of months back.....I dont know why it is not available now.......Also i guess this model u have said is pretty old.. not even able to find in ASUS web site...

*www.techenclave.com/storage-solutions/how-much-does-blu-ray-drive-143234.html

So why don't you go for the models mentioned on ASUS's website like this one- ASUS BC-08B1ST, but i don't think you'll get a Blu-Ray internal writer in less than 8.5K...

yah. well company invested money so they want profit. its like "pay the price & get it. else get lost......" oops. however the new ECS motherboards that been listed, looks like a ugly circuit board rather than a 2010 AM3 mobo. first got impressed by the price, looked at pictures & i told myself, "even if i get it for 4k, i'll think before buying it". it was damn ugly. looks like crap :-x

Both of them will cost around 7-7.6K :p

COST TO COST price update 06/05/2010 :-D

OMG! just take a look at the price list :

9800GT 1 GB DDR3 cost is only Rs. 3K !

- this must be a fake brand - if anyone interested in buying one from them make sure of it's brand name first.

On the mobo list they are selling Mora mobos - just stay away from them.

Biostar formerly made mainly the lower end cards, upto GT240. nowadays have started involving in bigger names too. i just hope they don't mess up the cooling & port placement as they do in their motherboards.

I think 9800GT should be added in the price list coz it performs better than HD5670 and the the price is almost identical though it draws more power.

Most of 9800GT is available around ~5.5K

and Palit GTS 250 512MB GDDR3 is available @ 6K - which should be added in the list as well :p

BTW, Powercolor HD 4670 512 Mb @ Rs. 4K - The most VFM card upto Rs. 4K :p
 
I'm saving up cash for a bunch of purchases this summer, one of them being an external HDD.
I'm gonna either go for an intenral drive with external casing or just a normal external drive.

Since I need a sort of data vault which will be in my cupboard, out of sight of visitors and never shared with friends, I realized that its pointless to go for 2.5" drives so am sticking with 3.5" drives.

Its gonna be mainly used for CD Rips, DVD Rips, ISOs and similar data which I need to copy into the drive once or twice per week only so I don't think speed matters a lot. But if something goes wrong, my whole world gets screwed so I just need reliability for atleast 5-10 years.

Please suggest the cheapest option I have. I have time till august (when college reopens and data starts falling faster than my laptop can take) to make purchase so waiting is not a problem at all. Should I wait for 2TB drives to get cheaper and fall under 6k ?

External: 1TB WD My Book Essential Edition should be around Rs. 4650.

Internal: Seagate 1TB 7200.12 is for Rs. 3700.

Get 2x1TB and use one drive for backup of your dump drive. To be on the safe side.

WD Internal Drives, newer batches especially have developed high failure rates, so I'd avoid them. Oh yeah, in case you are buying an External drive, Seagate now offers 5 years warranty as against WD's 3.

I will not recommend WD hdds. I heard and witnessed lot of problems from their hard disks. My Roommate's WD HDD got crashed 2 times. So better go for Seagate. For their external as well as Internal HDDs, they are offering 5 Yrs of Warranty, whereas most of the external HDD models from WD are having 3 Yrs of warranty.
My Suggestion buy a Internal Seagate 1 TB and then buy a SATA casing @ 0.6k and placed the Internal HDD inside it to convert it into an external one. I am using it for myself for almost 3 yrs and no problem till now.
 
I don't want 5 year warranty if it means they will replace my hdd if it fails after 4 years. It shouldn't fail in the first place.

How is Hitachi ? I'm considering it since both WD and Seagate are having loads of complaints.
I noted mostly +ve reviews for it...

Hitachi, Samsung etc. being sold in very small numbers, complaints about them too will be rare. Between Seagate and WD, complaints regarding each are seasonal, ie., varying with models, batches etc. With Seagate, there were lots of complaints regarding their 7200.11 series and now it is the turn of WD, especially with their Green models.

good but costly. as janitha pointed. their sales are far less than the 2 dominant players in the HDD game. do check Samsung before finalizing anything.
