)
Sapphire HD5850 1GB GDDR5 - 16.1
Corsair TX750W - 6.7k
(prices mentioned above are including all tax)
The shopkeeper of the shop IT Gain told me to wait and give him a call this weeknd so that he can confirm the availibility of CM 690 II Adv). So I came back and just waiting till weeknd.
There are other small items like Coolermaster Hyper N520 and 7*120mm fans for the cabinet. I didnt check out there prices. Will buy it directly when i go next time
Total - 13.5+10.3+9.5+4.1+16.1+6.7 = 60.2K
(Big hole in the pocket)

Buddy a piece of advice , stick with your dual 9600gt cards for now.
Since you're gonna be waitin for 3-4 months it will be best if you go for nvidia's fermi which would have been launched by then.
The architecture looks promising and will definitely surpass ati's 5 series.
The thorn in the bush is pricing but ati also might drop its prices by then and it will be worth the wait.

Hmmmm..thanx for the info...Didnt know dat actually...I can definitely w8 for 3months nw. Lot of work nwdays so less time to play
Sure dude, no probs at all....the lens is for both wide angle as well as long range shoot. for long range it has zoom for 11x and wide angle at 27mm. So a decent lens overall. But the lens is damn costly if you buy it new (as much as the total i7 config without the GPU
) so got it 2nd hand instead. N i need the lens more than the CPU. More passionate photographer now dan a gamer Cheers,

If you going to get the accelerator after three months, then do not pick any equipment as of now. Not making any promises, or showing you silver lining in the clouds, but the FERMI refresh might change things pertaining to GPU. And since the accelerator will be the most expensive component (yes it will surpass the CPU too, how ironic), better to wait.
Best is when you are absolutely sure, you are 2 weeks away from purchase (i.e. Fermi has released you have decided), then start to source your cabinet FIRST. That seems to be an issue. So when you pick the whole bundle, the cabinet is waiting all ready at home.

Guyz,
The CM690 II Basic version is available here in Bangalore as informed by my vendor today Wud cost me 4.1k including taxes.
The problem is dat that CM690 II adv is still not available in India and my vendor can't confirm any release date also...Can you guyz let me knw whether it is available in your city or my vendor is bluffing?
I googled the differences between 690 II basic and advance version and found the following items or functions missiing in the Basic version:
- No External SATA X-dock
- No 1.8" & 2.5" HDD and SSD adapter
- No VGA card bracket (supports triple GPU card)
- No top fan and the front fan is 120mm(front fan is 140mm in case of Advance)
- Partial tool free design in the mounting slots of DVD drive and HDD
So wat u say guyz go wid dis one or wait!!!!

Hi Guyz,
Finally bought my rig yesterday.
Core i7 i920 D0 2.66GHz -13.4k
MSI X58 Pro-E - 10.5K
Corsair TR3X2G-1600 XMS3 C9 6GB - 9K
Corsair TX750W -6.4K
I couldn't sell of my old Zebronics Antibiotic cabinet here in Bangalore so i didn't get the CM 690 II Basic version.
However i installed a lot more fans in my current cabinet. Now my Zebronics cabinet has:
1 X 140mm
2 X 120mm ( removed the top 80mm fan and replaced it with a 80mm to 120mm fan adapter )
3 X 80mm
I am planning to install one more 120mm fan at the back. Just doing some R&D on the placement. If this doesn't suffice a good airflow, then i will get my room air conditioned
Nywaz, thnx a lot guyz for al your help and advice....U really r great.
Cheers,
Cosmos
