piper Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I'm currently using this sim card based solution. The range is OK and battery life gives me about 2-4hrs but maybe out of his budget. But you can look at this or for a little bit more this I've suggested this one to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) A colleague is looking for a 3G dongle (he has 3G SIM). Primarily to be used on a single laptop, but is intrigued by Wifi hotspot possibility. Budget Rs. 1500. Here are all your options @flipkart, obviously, local purchase will be cheaper. I have a Huawei piece on me (E303F), bought for ~1300/- from Nehru Place. Works fine on laptops although on my desktop it drops to 2G. I've suggested this one to him. Theoretically supports faster speeds than the cheaper models. I'll keep an eye out around that time. thanks Check out @onlyssd.com. It is a Bombay based enterprise. anyone know where I can get an hdd bracket? Can't seem to find the one that came with the cabinet You will have to scour eBay. Or contact shops at Lamington Rd. and see if they can deliver a couple pieces to you. Edited July 21, 2014 by ALPHA17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonCore Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 A small point to mention to Comrade Plasmakid, if you are going to purchase an SSD, either get it on a Black Friday offer or else purchase local. Yeah bought it locally, 250GB Evo for 10k something. I don't think importing SSD (even with sale) is worth it, local prices for storage are pretty competitive prolly because vendors get them directly from SE Asia. Also thinking of adding another 290 as crossfire, should I go with Corsair RM 850 or RM 1000? Its only 2k difference between the two.

Its only 2k difference between the two. Seasonic X series or Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold equivalent instead of Corsair's RM series, 1000W, just for peace of mind.

Black Friday actually is the only time I suggest you pick up a SSD from abroad. Better options (brand and interface) and depending on the offer, absolutely crazy prices.

I can't find 1000W version of SP Gold, only SP M2. Seasonic 1050XM looks interesting, will check that out. I just like the way Corsair ones let you monitor your PSU load and temps using their software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No good if the guts are not the best in business. Plus, what exactly do you gain by observing temperatures on the SMPS. Unless you plan to test the efficiency of your air-conditioning. I can't find 1000W version of SP Gold, only SP M2. Where are you looking for it? Anyway, the Silent Pro Gold is a Seasonic unit slapped with a Cooler Master sticker.

He says since lot of miners are dumping their AMD cards in market the retail prices are dropping to 300-350$ for new cards. If he comes to India I just tell him to bring one wrapped in a towel or something in his suitcase No good if the guts are not the best in business.

ALPHA17 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) I though RM series was regarded as high quality stuff? Google it. Corsair has been a bit shady off late. Retiring trusted lines such as the VX series and replacing them with VS series which are only 230v capable (so that no reviews from reliable sites like Johnny Guru). Severing ties with Seasonic who used to be their OEM when the entered the market, now I think only the HX and AX lines are in Seasonic's hands whilst the rest are outsourced to other OEM's. Cooler Master on the other hand has started improving its offerings, Seasonic is Seasonic and they are just as reliable as five years back. This is the review for the RM850W (from Johnny Guru), Wolf clearly mentions the sub-par capacitors used in the SMPS and they expect you to pay a premium. Even though the review closes with a recommended, I would suggest a Seasonic X / Platinum series or Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold for piece of mind and reliability's sake. If you want to stay with Corsair, the AX or AXi should be your aim. Edited July 21, 2014 by ALPHA17 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALPHA17 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) ^ Yes, any 1000W should be more than enough. I thought about recommending the 850W but realised you were importing the piece, so in-case of a mis-match it would have meant a lemon. Use this site to figure out how much power your PC guzzles. I have already done a rough guess-estimate, do one for yourself and see. P.S. -- Sent you a STEAM friend request (same handle as here), please accept it.

I get about 720W, but with OC (+100mV) each GPU jumps almost a 100W, so I guess its still under limit. Plus I guess with crossfire there won't be any need for aggressive overclock at least for now.

Ethan Hunt Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I've suggested this one to him. I have this one - http://www.flipkart.com/huawei-e8221s-1-3g-data-card/p/itmdusfryrxjukeg Cheaper and better than D-Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it lacks a memory slot as well, for all that is worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memory Slot is something i didnt notice - yes that gives the D-Link one a added advantage. From what i have seen around - Huawei cards have been generally better than D-Link in terms of After Sales / Heating / Support etc - plus this one is cheaper as well.
