@s18000rpm: dOOd! Don't go for that cab. It may look good, but for 5k you can get a bettter Antec Plusview AMG 1000 or Antec Performance TX ...Theses cases are excellent! They have lots of space...good airflow.. And are really spacious....So managing cables also won't be a prob.
If you want the ultimate case then go for CM Stacker 830! It costs something like 12k but really worth it high-end rigs.
Also if you want yo buy the cab..check if its spacious....and plz Performance comes before looks!

Re: Post what you purchased.
Antec has Air Filters, Cooling capacity - up to 5 x 80mm fans, & lot of stuffs, but what's the cost?
best thing about the Vento is its really sexy
the red one frm front looks like Ferrari Enzo.
i'll be @ Chennai this month end, i'll search for both of these. i'm selling my Nokia 6600 (just got it frm bro) to my frnd for 7k. i'll see which one fits in budget, coz i've to buy a 120/160GB HDD too. (Hitachi Deskstar)

Re: Post what you purchased.
That's disgusting man, one cant even laugh at the situation, frontech sucks we know, and thanks for info that saboo also sucks, I went to them recently for getting my laptop, but they quoted high prices. Anyhow these are the places I've been getting things from, these are small retailers...
small retailers in kolkata "highly competitive/great support", I dont know exact adress, I'll post later
1. BMS Infosolutions, near hotel embassy, chandni chowk, kolkata
2. Jain Computers, Biplabi street, chandni chowk, kolkata
3. Vedant Infosys, near Jain Computers, (50M distance), chandni chowk
I've mostly got things from first two, jain mostly, so much so that even if you mention my name "Rohit Patel" they'll recognise (maybe this can help you with support, they cant refuse me to replace things, I am a big customer to loose... Hell i got things replaced from them that my friends bought from other shops in kolkata...lol...I got like 5-7lacks things from them, and get PC's regularly). And they offer good prices.
A little info about retailers:
The owner of "Jain Computers-- Sandeep", is technically a very sound person, more than you will imagine from my post here, just try to talk to him about processor architectures/cooling/whatever... and u'll know, as it seems he is owner of the "chirag" brand in kolkata, a local PC brand, so u better talk to him.
The guys are "BMS Infosolutions--Rishab" and "Vedant Infosys -- Rohit" seem salesmen, but who cares, we have the info, they have the price/support.
I'll post the adress later after enquiring, as i dont have any info on them, so if u guys want just let mw know.

Re: Post what you purchased.
@sam9s, i guess i confused you, sorry.
its the old problem. i still havent been able to use the new mobo & RAM (to see whether that RAM works or not).
i did connect the mobo+RAM +Display, but when i turned ON the main power(switch), the cpu fan spinned for a moment, & after turning the CPU switch ON, NO Effect.
NO Beeps or anything, b'coz in m/b manual, its stated "if we use a non supported RAM, m/b will beep THREE times".
i was getting scared (as i'm not pro), as the PSU & mobo were not even earthed.
So i just backed-Off at that moment.

@ajayashish Yes, you can extend the warranty by calling their customer care. I had it confirmed it at the time of buying. Also When I had once called, Buying Extended Warranty was on the IVR menu.*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/member.php?u=21299

Re: Post what you purchased.
Ok, I have people asking about the drivers for 3155, so I though I'd better post it here and also how to download.
DATE:
02/01/2007'
ITEMS:
Compaq Presario V3155AU Notebook - 34500
Specs: AMD Turion 2.0Ghz
Nvidia nforce 6150 integrated graphics.
512Mb DDR2 667
80Gb HDD
WiFi/lan/card reader
512 Mb Transcend 667Mhz DDR2 Laptop RAM - 3650
Retailer:
BMS Infosolutions
Chandni Chowk
City:
Kolkata
Other Products considered:
Compaq Presario V3137 - Rejected because little costly and with WINXP OS inbuilt. I mainly wanted to use Linux.
Lenovo A-35 - Rejected for same reason as above
Also this helped me decide.
*forums.amd.com/index.php?showtopic=89173
Problems/Suggestions:
Had a hell of problem finding the drivers for audio and chipset, HP website does not list all the drivers and read many forums but no help. Finally found them in HP's ftp server. a post on sum forum helped, i cant find it now. but ask me if u plan on getting one and have similar driver problems.
How to download from HP's ftp server:
the ftp is "ftp://ftp.hp.com"
all the files that I am talking about here are present in "ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/"
all the files are named with numbers, like sp33549.exe, sp33471.exe etc... kept in folders in groups of 500, for example al folder named "sp33501-34000" will contain any file named between sp33501.exe - sp34000.exe. so if u want to download suppose sp33549.exe, it lies between sp33501-sp34000, so go to folder sp33501-34000 and u will find the file, in this case "ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp33501-34000/sp33549.exe" will be the file. Now below is what u have to download.
The drivers:
I suggest you download and install them in the order they are mentioned here, you cannot just install the last thing first, or things will not work.
1. nVidia nForce chipset driver
sp33031.exe
2. nVidia GeForce Go 6150 Graphics Driver
sp33549.exe
3. AMD Processor update for Windows XP
sp33499.exe
4. Microsoft UAA Bus driver for high definition audio
sp32646.exe
5. Conexant High definition audio
sp33470.exe
6. Conexant HDAUDIO Soft Data Fax model with SmartCP driver
sp33839.exe
7. Ricoh 5-in-1 card reader host controller and driver
sp33020.exe
8. Broadcom wireless LAN driver
sp34152.exe
9. Synaptics Touchpad
sp33751.exe
Here ends the necessary drivers for V3155, but let me complete the list for all Compaq Presario V3000/V3100 series notebooks.
9. Software and Drivers for HP integrated module with Bluetooth
sp32883.exe
11. Yuan EC300 DVB-T TV tuner driver
sp33703.exe
Other utilities for these laptops
-> HP Battery check
sp32299.exe
->HP Quick launch buttons
sp33035.exe
-> HP Wireless Assistant
sp33575.exe
-> System Default settings
sp32784.exe
I hope this helps all the V3000/V3100 series users there. You can ask any questions u have.
