Hardware price list/spec sheet

The Sorcerer

oh wow...Xenforo!!!
Well a friend checked it out in Prime ABGB but didn't buy it because for the price it was not really worth it. Its somewhere around the price of 600T.

I searched but didn't find a single store link, even on ebay there is only imported one that costs 20K. Have anyone bought Carbide 500R in TDF?

I got a Corsair carbide 500R for my friend, but not in india. Its from germany, cost almost 90euros.

^^thanks for a rapid reply tkin !!

here's the 1tb HDD [have 10% discount coupon] the listing says 03 yrs warranty...I'll confirm with seller..anything else I need to know or any other HDD to go for even if its ± 500/- ??

this HDD in discussion is 7200 rpm/32 mb/3.0 gbps interface -- is this OK or should one get better specs keeping future in mind ??

****SELLER JUST CONFIRMED ITS 03 YR MANUFACTURER WARRANTY****


Shall I go ahead with the purchase ???

what future?no 7200 rpm drive can even fully utilize sata 1(1.5gbps) let alone sata 2(3gbps) & forget about sata3(6gbps).future specs only matters when buying SSD.this is older model seagate barracuda 7200.12 series which had 3 yrs warranty.newer 6gbps models have 1 yr warranty.

why not?a 3yr warranty against 1 yr on newer models & with almost same speeds(both can not even fully use sata 1 100% so sata 3 newer drive feature is useless).however seagate warranty starts from the date of selling by the seagate distributor i think.it means that if the ebay seller is a person who bought it from an authorized seagate distributor/dealer then 3yr warranty starts from that date & not the date on which he sells you.check this with the ebay seller or better ask him the serial no. then you can enter that serial no. & model no. in seagate warranty verification link to check if the disk has already been sold by a dealer(will show warranty expire date)or not(will not show anything).

^^ that's really good but even then HDD is and will be still the cheapest mass storage device but with 1/2yr warranty how many will consider it as a good and reliable solution for their data ?? - with SSD price coming that much cheap it will make room in most pcs at-least as a boot drive for sure.

Kingston 64GB SSDNow V100 Series SV100S2/64G 2.5" SATA II @ 4.5k - a good VFM boot drive replacement IMO ;-)
