Cool Buddy
Wise Old Owl
Hi all. My laptop has stopped working and since I have an office laptop, I thought I might go for a desktop which will give me better performance for lower price. And I'll also get to use a 22" monitor which I have lying around. So just trying to get a sense of what's out there in the market these days.
1. What is the purpose of the computer?
Ans: Primarily data analytics, mostly using Python and R.
2. What is your overall budget?
Ans: 30k +/- 10%
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: No
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Ubuntu
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: 1 TB should be more than enough. I have external HDD of 2 TB, so I won't be storing movies or games on the PC. I actually wouldn't mind not having an HDD if I could fit an SSD in this budget by ditching the HDD.
6. Do you want to buy a monitor?
Ans: No. Already have a 22" television which I use as external display with my laptop. It works fine for me.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: I don't need keyboard, mouse, speaker and monitor.
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: In a couple of months. Don't plan on buying immediately
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: I have built one before.
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: I live in Chennai, most likely will be buying from Ritchie street. But I don't mind ordering online either.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: Not into gaming, probably would never play a game on this machine. So I definitely don't need a graphics card.
