Dear All,

A neighbor of mine intends to purchase a 'branded' desktop PC for his son who is currently in Std. 2. It will be purely for educational purpose and should run until Std. 12 :)

Please suggest me some good shops in Kolkata and the recommended brands like HCL, HP etc. It will be nice if they come with bundled offer like Printer etc. His budget is 30K.

Thanks,
Tanmoy.
