Yeah u can, just go to any computer shop and by the generic USB hard drive casing. Its very easy to install your drive and use it.

 

edit: is it a 3.5" hdd or 2.5"

I think it's 3.5". Is there anyway I can check and confirm this? The HDD model is WD5000AAKS.

Hey guys,

Wanted to get a mid budget rig..

Need it for some casual gaming and 1080p playback with some PS thrown in..

Had a look at the PC Buying Guide on TE..

Went to the local market ( in Lucknow ) for the same.. Was surprised to see great price fluctuations and no love for AMD.. :panic: ..

Willing to spend max 25k..

Need:

Proccy + Mobo + RAM + HDD + Graphics Card + Cabinet + SMPS ..

Already have a Dell S2409W + Philips SPA5300 + KB/Mouse..

Was looking at the options available and found out the following are the only things available locally:

1) Proccy + Mobo:

a) AMD Phenom X2 555BE + Asus M7N68AM = 8100/-

b ) AMD Phenom X4 925 + Asus M4A78EM = 12200/-

c) AMD Phenom X2 555BE + Asus M4A78EM = 10300/-

d) Intel Core i3 + Intel DH55TC = 10700/-

e) Intel Core i5 750 + Intel DP55WB = 15700/-

 

2) RAM:

a) 2GB DDR 3 ( No Kingston/Corsair etc available ) Simmtronics/Irion = 3000/-

b ) 2GB DDR 2 ( Same companies ) = 2300/-

 

3) HDD:

a) 500GB WD/Seagate = 2350/-

 

4) Graphics Card:

a) ATI Radeon 5750 = 9000/-

b ) NVIDIA GT250 = 8850/-

c) ATI Radeon 4570 = 7350/-

 

5) Cabinet:

a) Any Normal Cabinet = 1.1-2k/

b ) CM ( Beginner model, vendor wasnt sure abt the model no. ) w/ SMPS (450W) = 4500/-

 

6) PSU (If taken extra):

a) FSP Saga 500W = 3100/-

b ) CM 450W = Upwards of 3.5k ( model no. unknown + will take a week to come after pre-ordering..)

c) FSP Epsilon 700W = 6100/-

d) FSP Everest 800W = 7500/-

 

Now my main dilemna is regarding Proccy + Mobo + Graphics Card + PSU.. :(

Also should i go for DDR2 4GB ( 2*2)..??

 

Please help guys..!!

TIA.. :ranting:

Ok while I await my new PC, I am having a few problems with my current one, I was using a AGP Nvidid 7600 graphic card and 1.5 GB RAM [ 1 GB + 512 GB], but all of a sudden, both the graphic card and 1 GB RAM failed together. When I started my PC, the monitor would just show a black screen, so I removed these two failed components and plugged the monitor cord into the motherboard slot and the PC worked..

 

So, I am wondering, have the two things really failed and its just a coincidence they failed together or is that by mistake somewhere some settings have been changed which is causing this problem??

 

PS- This happened without any warning and everything was running fine till it hapened.

Well i used this setup for over 1 year without any problems, its just now that this has happened.

even i used to run 256mb n 128mb together... :(

but it is not recommended for performance purposes... not that it would cause any problems
