Yeah. I saw that. Good option but I don't want to spend on a Windows license yet. I'm probably gonna insall Ubuntu.... And its got a 15.6" screen. Also, at 44k it's beyond my budget. Sorry, forgot to mention that in the OP. Any other suggestions?

Hi, I recently joined university and plan to buy a new laptop. Here are the answers to the questionnaire: What's your Budget? (e.g. >30K, not more than 50K etc.) 30k was the original idea. Then it extended to 35k. But i can go upto 40k if the there is significant benefit. What will be...

I am currently ill. Will go to market next week and tell you what's available. If you can suggest more models it'll help me further... Thanks

Great! Thanks. :) I went to Nehru Place (Delhi) today and they told me the following models were discontinued: 1. Corsair CX V2 430W 2. Cooler master GX450W Instead of those the following replacements were available: 1. Corsair VX 450W @ 2.5k 2. Cooler Master GX550W @ 4.7k So...

I'm replacing the PSU and re-positioning one of the fans on the side panel. Will report temperatures afterwords. Currently my Q6600 runs at 90 deg. C :( Okay, okay I take the blame on my head.:5da69969: But what do you expect from a 15 year old first timer who has had NO advice from...

Not yet. I'm just procrastinating till I buy a new PSU. So I can use ANY vacuum in blower mode and that won't cause any static damage to the components? (It will just spread the dust around :P) Please confirm as then I'll not buy those cans of compressed air... Just confirming....do you mean...

I was thinking vacuum/blower would be safer, more powerful and cheaper(in the long run)... don't you think?

Okay. I get it. I'd read several reviews before going for SP2008WFP but alas! I have relatives in USA whom I can ask to bring me parts but the question is "what needs to be replaced?". Apart from that I was considering buying a Samsung S22B370 22" monitor right now. It's not got the...

Lol! Yeah...guess I'll have to change the PSU. Yeah, I know it seems a bit overkill but I had plans of setting up all kinds of servers (samba/LAMP/ssh tunnel/proxy server etc) and playing the latest games apart from making it future proof. Hence, I thought of it as an investment. I never...

I was considering buying the compressed air cans when I though would it be good idea if instead I got the small USB vacuums/blowers easily available at Nehru Place(Delhi). It would turn out cheaper as an investment, I guess. What do you guys say? Will the small USB vacuum/blower also create...

Thanks everyone for the replies :) After reading I have found these options for cleaning: 1. Electric Air Dryer Portable Blower Vacuum vaccum | eBay ^recommended by Arjun 2. Vacuum Cleaner. ^ Most people recommend against this so I'll probably not go with this. 3. Small hand operated air...

Okay guys, thanks everybody for replying. Here's my story. It's neither very short nor very interesting but I'll post it anyways... I bought my PC on 24 December 2008 to replace my old Compaq SR1235IL desktop. Specs: Intel Core2Quad Q6600 MSI P35 Platinum Combo XFX 8600GT Transcend 2GB...

My CPU case images: Can you suggest where can I get cheap and safe to use IPA in delhi? Are there brands I should consider? Will surely watch videos and report back! Thanks Also see my CPU/mobo pics and please suggest better (specific) cleaning methods for my config...

Doesn't this dryer cause the static electricity problems like others? Actually, I'm the PC maintenance guy/friend for all of my circles. :P Just that I've never done this before... Will upload PC cabinet pics as soon as I get get home. You are suggesting SMPS with same or less...

I have a really dirty CPU case and now the system has started to become unstable due to heat. It restarts after every 2 hrs. Also, my core 2 quad Q6600 runs at almost 90 degrees C. Please suggest me how to clean the case and fans etc. I have seen guides online. Some mention compressed air...
