Help me in Building a Download Rig

[Cool Buddy]

I also wanted to add that atom config will consume less power which is good for a download rig as it can stay switched on for a long time.
regarding remotely controlling it, you can search for it in google, there are various softwares available for this purpose. Or you could do one more thing, if your monitor has both DVI & D-sub, connect this rig to the same monitor & buy a cheap mouse. done.

but is it easily available in India, i mean Intel Atom D410PT, i am not able to find it in my city

 

[SlashDK]

its available online at *www.bwindia.net (its bangalore based)
and as for the cabinet, zebronics anna with SMPS as i previously suggests is good
as for the ram go for 1 gb ddr2 as the motherboard doesn't support ddr3 (my mistake earlier)

 

[vineetrocks2005]

I do not buy computer stuff online as it is not reliable, will it be available in Nehru Place (Delhi). Also I am not able to find zebronics anna cabinet on the official zebronics website.

Vineet, I am from Mussoorie, and believe me in Dehra it will be impossible to procure stuff. You could come to New Delhi and purchase the stuff. But NP is extremely dynamic. There could be a day you reach NP, and even a basic CPU or RAM you want is not available.

Not forcing you to buy stuff online, but it is a good option --- sitting at home. People here have ordered stuff from Mumbai/New Delhi to Guwahati (Sam you are from there right..?). Else you can call SMC, send them a DD in advance, and have them hold onto the stuff, so when you reach it is there. Your choice.

 

[vineetrocks2005]

How can I contact SMC, do you have any number or email address ? Will they ship the stuff to Dehradun if I order it online, or do I have to go to Delhi to pick the stuff by myself

i too ordered proccy, ram , mobo, cabby from smc now only
go to smc website and see the contact button...mail them then

 

[vineetrocks2005]

Just to confirm, SMC International - One Stop Shop for all your Hardware Need ! is this, their website

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

yes asigh, i am from Guwahati. and the stuffs reached me in well under 5days (from ND) and on its way from Mumbai.

one good thing about SMC, on most of their stuffs, carry charge already included. but not on heavy fragile items like monitor. also do remember, not everything on display is available. give them a call first.

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

almost everything is available sammy.....just ordered cm elite 335...
the best thing i like about smc is that all the taxes and shipping price are included in the mentioned price...and the prices are good.

If you are uncomfortable buying online, you can go with Sam's first config (sempron) replacing the mobo with Jaskanwar's suggested one. That will fit in your budget. or even a DDR2 board + RAM as you don't need any future proofing or upgradability. But I think online purchases are very reliable if done from a reputed site/etailer (no I haven't missed the 'R')

 

[vineetrocks2005]

Thanks for your suggestions and comments, I have ordered the MB from SMC International. But I am now confused with the cabinet. I have searched and found these two cabinets from Zebronics. Products - Zebronics, Top Notch Infotronix Pvt Limited, Head Phones & Stand Mic, Chennai, Computer Case, NVIDIA Graphic Cards, Computer Distributor, SMPS, Whole Sale Computer Cases, Computer Manufacturers,  Web Camera. What say?

sorry for going offtopic

but is it really advisable to run a PC for 24/7...I am mainly concerned abt the overheating of mobo and proccy and constantly moving mechanical parts like HDD
