A Budget PC Under Rs. 20,000
By: Jayesh Mansukhani   |   Oct 04, 2007


Monitor: Samsung 17 '' Flat 798MB (Rs. 5,300)

With a price tag of under Rs. 6000, the 17-inch Samsung Flat CRT offers excellent value for money. Even though LCDs are hot nowadays, there are still certain areas in which CRTs do better. They can output at different resolutions and give excellent viewing angles.

As with CRTs, the 17-inch 798MG has a viewing area of 16 inches. It has a maximum resolution of 1280 x 1024 at 65 Hz refresh rate while the optimal resolution is 1024 x 768 at 85 Hz. The maximum usable resolution is 1152 x 864 at 75 Hz. Maximum usable resolution defines the resolution at a refresh rate of 75 Hz or better. Anything below that will give a flickered output.

Keyboard & Mouse: Microsoft Optical Keyboard and Mouse Set (Rs. 700)

Microsoft makes excellent keyboard and mice which are sturdy and can be used over long hours of work. At a cost of just Rs. 700 these are an excellent buy.

Cabinet: I-Ball i648 ATX Cabinet with integrated 400 Watt power supply (Rs 1,150)

Prices of cabinets have risen since we last did a roundup. We were forced to drop VIP here and replace it with an I-Ball cabinet that comes with a 400 W PSU and is available cheap.

Speakers: Creative SBS 370 (Rs. 1,120)

This has been our favorite for a long time. The best part — it comes with a woofer to give you that thumping bass and offers good sound quality for the price. The satellites are powered at 5 watts RMS each and the subwoofer is powered at 11 watts RMS.

these prices were taken from mumbai dealers from across the place. The prices may vary from dealer to dealer depending on their margins. THese are not special "dealer prices"

Realy Good prices and configuration it is best for any regular users.I am very thankful to TECH2 that they awake the consumers for low prices with maximum perfomance configurations. This is unbelivable prices for any customers & selers. One thing is note that all selers r not happy cause "THE GAME IS OPEN" for them.
Rushi Rangrej @ Oct 05, 2007
looks good for most everyday works plus would this to be compared to AMD based notebooks Based 64X2 with almost similar config. with the convience thrown in software can be free ware/open source on both
Shailender @ Oct 05, 2007
moreover these prices are mostly dealer prices,if u try to get it from a shop..which most often u wud be doing...they might charge u a bit more..but its a nice configuration..considering the amt....and abt the crt..if u dont have one.. i wud say u go for the lcd as in the first few months u wud be using it to max..and the amt u spend for the power bills if added to ur current cost plus some addtl. 1000 might get u a lcd which looks cool and gives more space.i gues...they just left out the bacuk up ups.....????
amal @ Oct 05, 2007
What you say is certainly a reality, nay a little late as component mnfrs. have adamantly stuck to their high prices in the guise of introducing technical upgrades. But soon the prices will forge towards the sub 15K level and there will be integration bet. components. I also envision a situation where a laptop will come cheaper than a desktop...
Francis @ Oct 05, 2007
guys u wud get corsair ram 1gb 667 for rs 1750..check that too...can u add the specification of hd..like rpm and buffer.
amal @ Oct 05, 2007

Yes u can, if u r series player buy Graphics Card - Asus (NVidia Turbo series), starts from Rs.3000. Quality rocks!! and its coming with DVI-D output.
Senthil @ Oct 05, 2007
yeah, but can you get decent graphics without putting too much strain on the processor when playing Bioshock?
marco @ Oct 05, 2007
Guys, we can get LG Optical Drive for Rs.1400 and if u r ready to spend xtra 3k, u will see LCD monitor for Rs.8100 (Acer) in gray market (Riche St, Chennai). When buy RAM, check out the pack whether its box or gray. Dont go for gray piece, its a problematic one.
Senthil @ Oct 05, 2007
HEY THANKS GUYS FOR THE WONDERFUL ARTICLE
KIRAN @ Oct 05, 2007
