Have I forgotten anything? ... please add, also better component selection/matching will be appriciated.
The setup will be used for surfing, chatting, documentation, trading, monitoring business TV channels, music, home photo/video editing, cutting CDs and DVDs for civic activism and watching some movies. Gaming is very low probability.
I am planning for a Dassera commissioning. I can be reached at snpexim[at]rediffmail[dot]com
