hi guys,

One of my cousin needs a new PC, the PC will be used mainly for Internet surfing, Voice/Video chat (Most Important) , a little music & video applications,word processing etc, Not intended for gaming.

The cost should be less than 20K + ~4000 bucks for BSNL dataone & webcam.

I recently have no touch about the current processors (preferablly AMD)and motherboards available in the market. So please help me out guys.

and i also want to know if dataone registrations is currently available in BELLARY, karnataka (if there are anyone from there)

Thanks
Charan

Dont go for VIA Chipset motherboards.They suck in performance.

AMD Sempron64 2600+ Socket 754 CPU (Rs. 2,600)
ASRock K8NF4G-SATA2 Motherboard (Rs. 3,400)
Transcend 512 MB DDR-400 RAM (Rs 2,200)
Zebronics Cabinet with 400 Watts SMPS (Rs 1,100)
80 GB 7200 RPM SATA Seagate Barracuda Hard Disk (Rs. 2,600)
ViewSonic 17" E70 Monitor (Rs. 4,900)
Lite-On/LG 52X/32X/52X/16X Combo Drive (Rs. 1,800)
Altec Lansing ATP3 Speakers (Rs 2800)
Logitech Spill-resistant Standard Keyboard (Rs 300)
Optical Mouse (Rs 350)

Total (Rs 22000)

You will get

nVidia 6100 onboard Graphics (Good For moderate gaming)
Onboard Realtek ALC850 8-channel audio

THis config will rock in all departments :twisted:

thanks for the update dude_...... I can take out the ATP 3 speaker as the users are no big fan of music. Basic speakers are more than enough

They will become fans when they hear ATP3
It will vibrate their hearts :eek:

And dont go for those AVS200 speakers.Instead take any frontech model.It will be cheaper and better.Altec low cost solutions suck.
