I have a Samsung laptop R-540 bought from UAE, i got it cheap at abt AED2000 = INR24000
Specs:
3GB RAM,
intel Core i3,
280Gb -HDD,15.6in LED screen,
1024MB video memory [intel HD]

The laptop is very good,silent operation and does not get hot[? yup it doesn't] the keyboard is very good ,chiclet style with good feedback and seems durable since i am playing CS so the keys get ownd So it was a good buy and with the laptop i got mouse,antivirus,carrycase,mobile worth Rs1000 FREE
Only the screen sucks it gets dark when u look from the side ,only the user has a clear view not very heavy but the size 15.6 is big[i dont carry it much]

other features: WLAN 8.011g,No bluetooth,Good wooden finish which i personally like but prone to smudges.Hope this helps
Could play RE:5,Mass Effect,Crysis1,L4D2.

Hi Guys,

Planning to build an amd rig, however was planning to get MB and Processor first. I currently have a ancient setup with Intel 845 MB. Is it possible just to change MB, Processor and Ram on the current cabinet. I am planning this coz i am planning to get rest of the things later.

Main question are cabinets board specific or any MB can be fit on any case.

Thanks guys

not necessarily. cabinet sizes vary like micro atx, atx tower etc.. but most home-use mobos fit for micro-atx ones.

anyway, the cabinet doesn't cost much, unless you're planning to get something fancy.

In case you ever plan to install a GPU, do not buy a cabinet that comes with a PSU. those PSU's suck.

@Elik: Thanks brother.....
got few things figured out in the meanwhile and the point you said about psu was one of them .
one thing which concerns me is the psu which i should be getting....
some say get a powerfull one like 650 to 800 watt
But official recommendation says a different story...
If you can suggest wht would be best for
AMD Phenom X II 1090T
Asus M4A88T-M USB3 .... and may be after few months Radeon 6850

Cheers....

For that setup, personally, I would go for a Corsair VX450 at around rupees 3.2K. It's officially rated at only 450W, but as any computer enthusiast knows Corsair has a tendency to underrate the the power ratings, unlike Cooler Master who does the opposite and bloats the actual power that their PSUs can supply. Further information on the VX450 can be found here Corsair VX450
and for the Cooler Master Extreme Power 500 Plus Cooler Master Extreme Power 500

At the lower end there's the Corsair CX430 for around 2.2K. Further reading on it at Corsair CX430

Go for Corsair vx450/vx550. Stay away from Cooler Master PSUs. These are over-rated .. Even i m using VX550 for my AMD setup , and trust me , the VX550 is worth every penny. I got it for 5.2K here .

My dad got his new laptop a week back. He is now looking for a wireless internet access solution for office use. As network availability is limited around his office, Idea NetSetter is the only option I see.

1. How is this NetSetter..? Speed and performance..?
2. What are the tariff plans available..?
3. Is there any wireless internet service from BSNL..?
