They want to extract money from us hardcore fans twice.

Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H Motherboard - Rs 4500
i3-2100 Sandy Bridge 3.1 Ghz CPU - Rs 6850
GSkill Ripjaws 4Gbx1 RAM @ 1600MHz - Rs 1675
NZXT GAMA-001BK ATX Mid-tower cabinet - Rs 2500
Corsair VS450 Builder Series PSU - Rs 2450
Total comes at around 18k. You can upgrade with another one of those RAM modules later(as they are so cheap). Also, I'd suggest to wait till Ivy Bridge i3 processors hit the market, as their integrated graphics chipset will at least be able to perform better in older games.

And no plans for even PC?

By CPU I am assuming you mean the cabinet along with components like motherboard, HDD, PSU, RAM, CPU etc?
Oops. I thought he had those, that's why he asked for only a CPU.

Get an ivy bridge i5(worth 15k). It has Intel HD 4000 graphics which can even play most games at medium/low.

9. I sit down in protest again, clerk knows i am a drama queen so promptly gets a photocopy of the application.

No, its not constant. It varies between 470-520 KBps for me.
That much variation is fine enough imo.
-
Speaking of internet speeds, here is a screenshot of the highest I have ever got in college(it's from last week):
It's f**king 7.2 MBPS(making it 57.6 mbps) on a cumulative of 4 files. But those f**kers have banned PSN/Live in the hostel, which makes me sad.

Kankarbagh.
Oh, that's too far from my place. I am in Raja Bazar. Keep us updated on whether they have Thunder 1099 there.

Reliance BB is available in my AREA
. Going to disconnect BSNL. If Reliance can provide me Thunder 1099 Plan.Which area bro? PM me if you don't want to post here. Even I may get Reliance if it's available here.
-
@Game, I wonder if even general Reliance net connection is available in our Silent Hill area.
-
Lol same here ..
I just can recall my username because it is based on my phone number ..
Totally forgot the username
Username is mentioned somewhere if you go to your modem's configuration page(192.168.1.1).
-
I even forgot what my BSNL login info is/was.
-
@Varun,
, 
for the set-up. -
Edit : @Phenom : Yes.
What plan are you using? I come here every once in a while(am currently studying in Kolkata), and get so disappointed with BSNL. They always find a way to cut service regularly, and the speed is so sh*t(I think it's 512 kbps, with the 999 plan). Are there any better AND more reliable options in Patna?
-
LoL.
I need to check if Reliance Broadband is available in my area or not :| I really want it. Tired of using Bc_nl
You are from Patna, right?
bastid. 8mbps for 1099?
Highly unlikely BSNL will reciprocate with such offer. Will give it a try.
BSNL sarkaari zheez hai. Connection katne se pehle kuch nahi sochega.

Yup classic shell has the power to override every metro feature, we can even boot straight to desktop instead of the metro.
Go through the settings page.Will it work with the Consumer Preview?
-
And people who get sick of the metro(which I know most of you will
) get you start button back with "CLASSIC SHELL" google it and get it!I stack up all my apps/games on the metro and with a point over the start and middle click takes me to metro! Launch app from there for the rest of the work, dear old desktop!
Repped. The Metro UI totally sealed the deal for me against Windows 8 in the consumer preview. Can we click the "Windows button" on the keyboard to get our usual start menu with this?

Bad news. Brother is not coming in December. Will come in April-May. My entire rig was purchased keeping in view that I would get a killer GPU from USA. Now that I've bought everything else with that in mind, I really am in no position to buy a GPU from here. So don't know what I'll do. It may still happen if I get hold of someone else coming back from US. Otherwise I'll have to wait another 4-5 months.
In the meantime, I also looked at some7970 GHz editions, which are comparable/faster than a GTX 680, but at a cheaper price. I wanted to go the nVidia route due to it having better 3D support(for a possible 3D monitor upgrade in the future). Are there any other advantages of going with nVidia?
I think I'll buy just a SSD from Amazon on this Black Friday, since it's so light that self-importing is not much of a hassle. With the unexpected change of schedule of my brother, I don't have any choice but to postpone GPU purchase till next year March/April. Maybe GTX 700 series or AMD 8000 series will have launched by then. Till then, I can focus on my huge backlog on PS3/360.
Will buy and install Windows 7 permanently once I get that SSD, as I don't want the hassles of changing storage locations of Windows system partitions.

I want some TNA shirts.

I know that Ph3nom but there is very little I can do to change the pricing side of the story.
Are there no other ASUS cards (barring the Direct CU II edition) on Amazon.com?
Plus, Black Friday sale will shake things up, so we can wait and watch for now, along with scouting for a few other option (from ASUS and other brands). Cheerio!

Is Ivy Bridge i3 available yet? If so, then that's a no-brainer.
