I want to setup a 15 person classroom with each person having their own system. Budget is tight (less than 1 lakh). If it won't do, will have to decrease the number of systems.
1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans:
The systems will be running:
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: < 1 L
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: Nope.
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Dual Boot maybe, but primarily Windows.
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: Minimal. Anything >= 40 GB would do. Just for the software and some files.
6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention which screen size and resolution do you want. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, again mention the size and resolution of monitor you have.
Ans: Want monitors. Nothing high res, just standard 1366x786 or similar. 15" would do.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: -
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: Dec. 2013
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: Will be building myself for the first time, if it comes to that. Have experiencing in disassembling and assembling desktops and laptops.
10. Where do you live? Are you buying locally? Are you open to buying stuff from online shops if you don't get locally?
Ans: HP. Prefer offline but open to buying online.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: Given the requirements, is it possible to have an alternate arrangement such as thin or zero clients (used ones available cheap) creating terminals and a powerful central server? That would seem to ease up maintenance. Open to any other alternatives.
With PCs, can I get bulk discount for 15 pieces? Assembled or built?
Are used systems (2-3 years old) dependable?
