    Monitors 32" Monitor for Programming/Gaming

    Hi, I use a dual 24" setup at work (developer) and have gotten pretty used to it. So much so that working on a single screen setup simply seems annoying now. Unfortunately, the computer table at my home isn't big enough to house 2 monitors so I have opted to go for a bigger screen so I have...

    Exactly! Although I do prefer it on the left side while coding because I like the extra vertical space since much of the horizontal space is not utilized (PEP8).

    Ubuntu Fan thread

    I've been working on Cent OS at office and now have Win 10 / Ubuntu 16.04 LTS dual boot at home and I'm loving it. I'm curious to know why people dislike Unity. I know it's all about preference but I wonder what it is that they don't prefer about it. I've personalized it to my liking with the...

    Budget 71-90K Hardcore Gaming/VFX/CGI Setup

    Hey guys, I'm posting from the new machine now :) Unfortunately, I had run out of time for any further discussion and simply HAD to place the order by thursday. So it was too late by the time I read Eddy's suggestion for the HX650, buying the less favored TX650 instead. It's probably nowhere...

    Budget 71-90K Hardcore Gaming/VFX/CGI Setup

    Hey guys, I spoke to Sanket from Cooler Master. The VS650 isn't available in India yet, won't be available for another couple of months. So that's out of the equation. Sanket suggested the V700 but said that's close to 10k, twice my original budget. Bar that, what's my best bet?

    Budget 71-90K Hardcore Gaming/VFX/CGI Setup

    Hi cyber, Thanks, is there any possibility of me picking up the PSU by tomorrow by any chance? If yes, I'll go for it eyes closed. I did consider the Asus Gryphon but I avoided Asus and MSI because of RMA issues with MSI shutting down its operations in India and Asus being handled by Rashi if...

    Budget 71-90K Hardcore Gaming/VFX/CGI Setup

    Hi, I'm sorry for all the indecisiveness, presently I'm like a kid in a candy store who wants every thing. I got a quote from Prime for the Gigabyte Z87-D3HCP board which is about 1-1.5k more than the GA-Z87M-D3H. Worth the extra? I also checked for the CoolerMaster V650S, and that too, is...

    Hi, Sorry for the late reply, I don't have a machine at hand presently as you already know :arghh: I have already ordered the i7 4770k processor so it's too late for an AMD config.

    Budget 71-90K Hardcore Gaming/VFX/CGI Setup

    Hi, Thanks for your reply. I have already maxed out my budget, actually stretching it a bit more than I should have. So replacing any component with anything that costs more is off the table for me. I actually have my eyes set on the Zotac GTX 760 Amp edition too, so I was wondering where I can...

    PC Peripherals Roccat Kave in Mumbai?

    Hi #Gannu Thanks a lot for your response. Although I could not get in touch with Mr. Sudhir, I did drive down to lamington road in search of what turned out to be a highly elusive headset. I walked the entire length of lamington road, asking shop by shop for it but was met with the same couple...

    PC Peripherals Roccat Kave in Mumbai?

    Hey guys, I'm looking to buy the Roccat Kave locally in Mumbai. I called up Prime and they don't have it. Any suggestions about where I can buy one from? Also, can anyone who's bought it recently give me an idea about the price? IIRC, when it was launched it was retailing for 5.5k but now the...

    Battlefield 3 - Discussion Thread

    Here's something interesting (or not). Apparently if you're tied for the MVP spot, neither of the top scoring guys get the MVP ribbon! Me and a medic in my team tied for top player in terms of score but I got ranked higher because of more kills, both in the scorecard and the battle report and...

    Need urgent help with Android update!

    Nope I don't have any data monitoring apps as android has that built-in. If I reset the phone, I'll lose all my contacts, data, songs, movies, messages etc. right? Would really like to avoid that if possible... I have around 80 apps installed... Installing them all over again would be a real...

    I have all those options selected already, I'll still have another crack at it at night. And I keep getting that message whenever I try to check for updates, have gotten it like 7-8 times now though I never tried it over wifi. In order to not receive calls during the update, I put the phone in...
