Hardware price list/spec sheet

It says Rs.5299. :-|

[I used a 10% discount coupon] before paying for HDD I asked seller about 03 yr warranty and he confirmed it BUT just after I paid for it the seller sent me an email and gave crap reasons and said warranty will expire in Nov 2013 and not 03 yrs so I've cancelled the order.

^^ it was there from Nov 2011 ( they said the APU was not available that time ) - when I asked about this a month back they said the price is 5.9k - look at the price of FX-8120 there Rs. 12740 but current price is around ~10.6k - MX-518 is still on their website but it's not available on the shop anymore - G400 is available though but it's not listed.

so the reason is obvious - they are just too lazy to update the website ;-)

I've won a bid for 1 TB WD caviar black with a 5% discount coupon the landing cost will be 4845/- [this's a RMA'ed item and warranty expires in Sep 2013]

Can someone please confirm if it's a good buy ??

New ones with 64MB cache and 5 year warranty come at around 7k. You are getting one with 32MB cache and 1.5 year warranty. I would say it's a OKish deal. Nothing outstanding.

As I have already said, it's a OK deal. Less than 5k for a Black drive looks good, if you don't look at the warranty.

as of now desktop Internal drives are still overpriced and has only 1 or 2 yrs warranty but so it would be just great if anyone wants to buy an 3.5 inch external hdd with 3 years warranty and less price ;-)

For Example Seagate 1TB drive costs 5.2k now but 1TB seagate Expansion drive costs only 4.95k - so if anyone interested can just remove the drive from the enclosure and use it and they are getting the USB 2.0 enclouser along with it as a free gift ;-) The external drive may have less rpm but with lower price and longer warranty they are still worthy as a storage drive IMO.

I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them
Increase by 2 %!? Damn.

Can anyone give an updated price list as of this week or month in bangalore? Some websites are giving the wrong info. And different too every time.;-(
