Hi,

{Apologies for creating a dual post. a couple of fellow members had PMed me sometime back regarding current prices of components, and lest they dont miss my earlier post, am creating a new one here, with slight editing. had created the earlier one in an amalgam of haste & excitement. kindly bear with me :)}

got my new PC built a few weeks back. after much contemplation i moved ahead with the idea of getting a new build, after a considerable time of gaming on consoles and satisfying my PC & net-needs on my laptop. started on a lowly budget of ~30k, and 'seemingly' there seems to be no end :grin:

An important thing - i would advise anyone AGAINST buying those liquid neon tubes, or perhaps cathode ray tubes too, reason being one of those tubes of mine went kaput a few days after the purchase (and they didnt carry any warranty too), and a couple of days later, its small control unit, i found was burning hidden under the PSU cover 'joyfully' inside the cabinet, with smoke emanating from it. my nostrils did their job and caught the scent, but the foolish brain first thought that since i had started my comp after a gap of 4-5 days, must be the paint-work of the cabinet smelling, but when it intensified, i decided to play Sr. Inspector Daya & 'bust open' the side-panel, and there it was ! quickly took action (slapping the culprit hard :grin: ), and took out the non-working as well as working neon tube too from the cabinet ! now everything's at peace inside the tank's belly :grin:

@ nipun & d6bmg - the laser-LEDs arent very powerful in the first instance, plus the build-quality is terrible ! one might need a minimum of 2-3 pieces of those for proper lighting in a full-tower cabby. i would be better off now with some LED strips. sunbeam has disappointed me again :-(

okay, so i havent 'fixed' the LEDs per se, just secured at the top of PSU cover since THAT was only the place where i found it could somewhat properly lighten up the dark underbelly of the mobo ;-) had tried some other configurations too, but everywhere the lights from fans caught the light from these LEDs by its collar....hehe....

see if you could suggest anything from the pics...and sorry for their, err, 'sorry' quality:oops:

The Table and the accessories are awesome...BTW u didn't mention the monitor in the specs..and it looks brand new in the pics.
How do the headphones sound like? as in music and games.
I see you are an Iron Maiden fan..is the bass any good in the headphone and does it provide multi-channeling ?
