Should come within 12k. However you have to purchase a D-Sub to HDMI converter since budget PC setup wont going to have a direct HDMI out.

The following comes with Intel Atom D425 (HT processor, single core) and Intel GMA 3600. It supports Windows XP, so operation is smooth and trouble free with Windows XP.

In faxt OP can use a small VGA to HDMI converter

Motherboard + Processor - Rs 4446 AMD/MSI AMD 2.8 GHz AM3 Sempron 145 Processor and MSI 760GM-P21 (FX) Mot Combo Motherboard - AMD/MSI: Flipkart.com
HDD - Toshiba 320 GB Internal Hard Drive (MQ01ABD032) - Rs 2700
RAM - Corsair Value Select 2 GB - Rs 750
Cabinet - Generic (iball Foxin etc etc with smps) - Rs 1250
Webcam - ENTER WEBCAM WITH NIGHT VISION & MIC (12mega pixel)- Rs 450

Rs 9596/-

Using D-sub to HDMI or D-Sub - HDMI converter is a very bad idea. They may work or may not. Worse part is even if it work, nobody can assure whether it is going to wkr flawlessly or not. Cause? Analog to digital conversion isn't correctly done with those converters.

Instead get a motherboard with DVI port and use DVI to HDMI cable. Nowadays, most of the descent motherboards have DVI port.

thanks everyone....

It can be used, however depends on resolution.

But regarding eye, no, there would be no extra effect

get intel pentium G based config as suggested in post#2.video chatting requires on the fly encoding & now-a-days h264 is becoming standard for video streaming so a decent processor like intel pentium G620/630/6xx is recommended.monitor or tv,for human eye its same so if one is harmless then other is also harmless.

thanks everyone...

I have decided the final configuration:

Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2H Motherboard Rs 3000
Intel dual core g645 Rs 3400
2 Gb DDR3 RAM Rs 650
Toshiba 320GB Internal HDD(MQ01ABD032) Rs 2700
iball cabinet with PSU Rs 1400
Webcam - logitech Rs 750
-------------------------------------------------
TOTAL Rs 11900
-------------------------------------------------

I am planning to install Win7 on this system. Is 2 GB ram sufficient ?

Pls give ur suggestion n inputs. Planning to place the order today afternoon.

N, get 4FB Ram. Corsair 1333 MHz 4GB single module will cost you around 1.2K. It also comes with 10 Yrs of warranty.

Please note,m since you will run with iGP hence a lot of RAM (min i guess 512mb) would be shared by the GPU sub system hence available RAM for OS would be 1.5GB or so.

Pay a little more, (Rs. 1,100/-) to obtain a 4GB DDR-III stick.

thanks will increase the RAM to 4 GB..

Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2H Motherboard Rs 3000
Intel dual core g645 Rs 3400
4 Gb DDR3 RAM Rs 1100
Toshiba 320GB Internal HDD(MQ01ABD032) Rs 2700
iball cabinet with PSU Rs 1400
Webcam - logitech Rs 750
-------------------------------------------------
TOTAL Rs 12350

^^^ if you are buying locally, try for a 250GB HDD, i guess they are at Rs. 2200 / 2300, that should save some bucks there

hmm...
changed my mind... now planning to buy a TABLET instead.... with a WIFI router for my cable internet connection.

rs 1000 will go for the Wifi router..

budget for tab : 8000 rs. for a 8" to 10" tab (3G sim not required)

looking for a tab with gud service Center in mumbai.. may be micromax ...

pls suggest a TAB.

Regards,
AH

Please avoid Micromax, it has huge problem list, especially Battery related. Also if you have determined to get a Tablet then create a thread in Laptops and Netbooks section.

Let me know and I'll close this thread.
