Some speakers I saw..PROMAX speakers.

Totally useless. Picked up a 2.1 set. Cables were bad..did not work...one channel suddenly stops working. Will soon throw them out my balcony. What a waste of money. The demo sounded so nice in the shop..!!!

its not always that we are very lucky that our hardware keeps on going on long.
@asigh how much did you loose on this speaker and did it had any warranty.
we get 2.1 speakers from altec lansing and creative for 1200-1300 what made you think of promax

Now I (we) know what PROMAX is. Though not alien. It is manufactured in the hills of the himalayas (similiar to mineral water) :) ..thats what the box said....will take a pic tomorrow and attach here...(how do we attach images here)....

I guess I had my bout of craziness...! Gosh...!

RS 650/---- ( el cheapo = el bad)

They said they have warranty...but I called and told about the channel issue..they said...cables could be faulty. I put in new ones (the original ones never worked)...still same issue.

Learnt my lesson. Dont go the cheap way.

Another addition--

Cooler Master 600W EXtreme Power PSU..
This has no 8pin CPU connector which is recommended for all new motherboards.you can run everything on stock but during overclocking u will encounter BSODs and ultimately look for a good PSU.This issue is more with Quads and E8 series.


9800GTX - Until and unless u planning to do a Tri SLi dont get this card.9600GT and 8800GT are way ahead and the new ATi cards will be better.

NEVER opt for WD external or internal drives. I had my internal replaced 3 times within warranty and finally exchanged it the 4th time with a Seagate which I have been using for the last 5 years. The WD used to have problems with data getting corrupt at regular intervals. Sometimes all my songs would be corrupt, sometimes my dad's data and sometimes even windows itself!!!

The external drive has issues with heating up. It does not have any data corruption problems. But they tend to blow out within 3-4 years of use which is quite little. Samsung's externals can run for more than 5 years.

Seagate sucks man......atleast in bangalore (nearly 8-9 of my friends have seagate and all of them have got their hdds RMAd atleast 3 times). WD rocks on that part...my internal 250 GB WD and External 500 GB WD both are running just fine.

Guys, please stop this seagate sucks and WD sucks. These are the two best HDD manufacturers. The problem is just subjective. Someone never faced any problem with Seagate and some had lot of issues with seagate. And same is for WD.
