I ordered Leadtek WinFast TV2000 XP Global Media Center Edition TV Tuner card today for Rs 2,200. It is coming on order from chennai & will be here by Wednesday.

I will be using it with Windows Vista Media Center, since I hardly record TV so hardware encoding isn't required. In software encoding my system CPU with assitance with GPU due to UVD & AVIVO I can easily record in WMV format in real time from within the Media Center.

Re: Post what you purchased.

Hi,

Till now i had been using my trusted Seventeam ST600 EAD.To be honest, that thing has handled whatever sort of load i threw at it, Be it Quad @ 4.4-4.5 or 3850 in CF and Quad @ 4.3-4.4 in 3D.
Saying that i am satisfied with it would be an understatement.
Although i knew it would be time to get a better one keeping in mind the upcoming hardware.Not that the Seventeam wouldnt have handled the load but its better to be prepared.

So here it is, Corsair TX750,

CORSAIR TX750 PSU

Re: Post what you purchased.

Thanks man. Although i am happy to get this, it really makes me sad that my Silverstone Zeus 850W cant be revived, that one was a monster.Capable of delivering 1000W too

Re: Post what you purchased.

Nice SMPS for a beast machine, but Rs 7,500 is a lot.

Any good 400W SMPS U can recommend? I m using the Zebronics Platinum 400W right now & it is working flawlessly, but everest is giving wrong readings with whatever SMPS I use, should I keep it as long as I have problems or should I buy something else???

400W is all that I require. I need 260W real power for all the components of my computer.

Re: Post what you purchased.

If its working fine, leave it. In the future, whenever you are in need of a good PSU, pick up the Corsair VX450W, beauty of a PSU, i am using it in my main Rig.
Costs around 3.6k now, worth every penny i say. The thing is, a GOOD PSU will last you very long and its good for your entire system.Investing in a Good PSU never goes in vain.
