Power Supply
Remember Powersupply from Power Safe only @ 400W its Gold Plated

since he is already going for xpensive comp.....and someone mentioned 500w only 500 bucks mor xpensive(ard 2000)(i guess the guy is correct)...shouldnt sid go with that????

@magnet

its not like that there is a reason why i havent recommended a 500W
power supply.

For saying its very easy 500Rs more for the 500W Power Supply get it.

But let me tell you Why?

His PS has to feed the Motherboard,CPU,6600GT GPU,1 or 2 HDD's,1 or 2 DVD-Rom or DVR-Writer
for this much a 400W Power supply is more tha enough

Thats it.

A 500W power supply can feed
Mobo , CPU , 2PCIx16 GPU, 4-5 SATA HDD's , 2Optical Drivers
or even more devices
If this much amount of power is not utilized that power is converted to Heat and hence the PS gets heated and hence the PS Fans rotate at a high speed since the temp is high in the PS so it is need to cool.But the Heating
of the power supply is not good sign.and also wastage of power.

So i told him to go for a 400W PS

I hope this answers your doubt

Even the RAID solution is not recommended Because all the current available raid on mother board setup are the software type so linux has a problem with it also the speed increase is not that much. I actually learnet it the hard way i have a seagate 160GB SATA disk so to set up raid i got a si 3112A card and a new 160 SATA disk on setting up the disks i found out the reality about the raid setup (that it is a sw raid) so i ran back and trie dto return the card Rs2100/- and the disk Rs 5450/- but the dealer refused to take back the disk as i had opened the packaging thus now i am stuck with an additional HDD and no RAID.

thks quad.......i used to think mor the power supply...mor helpfull it will b(i never thght if it isnt used it will b lost as heat)............thks for clearing my doubt..................

 

[sid311]

btw how much should this system cost approx as nehru place site is not a good indicator.....

 

[magnet]

well someone frm mumbai(most of them active frm here)..post the total price........and then the difference frm my point of view will b hardly 3-4k less......

 

[sid311]

just for my knowledge.... is an agp card better or a pcie card keeping the future in mind...... take for eg the 6600 gt it has an agp ver aswell as a pcie ver.. is there any diff in the performance of these cards...

 

[quad master]

Hey sid311

I think you still are confused.

PCI-Express is new technology AGP is old now.

AGP has a bottleneck @ 8X
PCI-E x16 functions @ 16X more speed than AGP.

PCI-E x16 is faster than AGP8X and is indeed better compared than AGP

Go for a XFX 6600GT PCI-X 16 Card not a AGP.

I hope that you have got it now.

The powersafe 400W Psu is a real vfm product ! I am using the same and can vouch for its performance. Overall a good product.

Btw i am not all too sure that u will get the hyperx memory modules in India that easily. If u getting from abroad then its a different story..........

[sid311]

thanks guys !!!

 

[sid311]

btw how much does a HyperX ram cost....

 

[darklord]

Good question Sid.
I was about to ask that one.

 

[quad master]

I have given you the contact numbers for New Delhi and Mumbai
branch just give them a call and you will get your answer.

I also actually dont know the cost.

Give them the correct DDR Module number "KHX3200ULK2/1G"as there
are 2 versions of HyperX 2x512B Dual Channel Kits i have recommended
you the best one with Ultra Low Latency rates for fast performance.

 

[blade_runner]

Well the Hyper X 1 Gig Kit cost arnd 11-12K internationally, so if my guess is correct and given most greedy channel partners out to earn some cash from us enthusiast; i'd say the 1 gig kit will cost u in the region of 15-17k. Still call them up and get the prices ..........I'd like myself to be proved wrong :whistling:

 

[sid311]

i have been qouted 66,800 for the above system.. do u think it is reasonable or more... Pls comment..
