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: Development + Test Server for small s/w projects DB Servers (MySQL, Oracle Express Edition), Web Servers (Apache + nginx), Application Servers (TomCat, WebLogic, JBOSS). A little bit of movies and mid-range gaming too maybe but don't want to spend on a graphics card
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 30k - 35k
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: no
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Linux
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 1TB + 1TB, possibly RAID
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: yes, 2 x 15.5 inch LCD OR 1 20 inch LCD, possibly second hand
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: keyboard + mouse
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: in a month or two
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: no. will try to assemble myself
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: pune. locally.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: I would need a system that would provide me with a lot of processing power, and very good at multitasking. I plan to have 8 GB RAM to start with, but will soon need to go to 16GB and eventually, 32 GB. Eventually, will add a SSD when the prices come down.
Also, thanks for all replies. Cheers.
