Thats true.. But no other go.. am actually waiting for the Intel quad core duo's prices to come down ..

why dont u search for a shop that gives you the lowest prices?then get it assembled by someone.you can get the config of your choice plus the cost of assembling will be very low.my friend did this and it cost him only a few hundred rupees.he got a quad core pc some 9 months back.it cost him 40k.

it's best to find a computer hardware guy who you can trust... as you are likely to need warranty related support in the future.

 

[vivekindia]

true.that is a must for any person owning a pc.for warranty support these guys usually refer you to the company.they would come remove the component and give it to the company.

 

[Sushubh]

exactly. that is why i don't mind paying a bit extra to my long time hardware guy. i have never had warranty issues with him. he often gets the stuff replaced outside the warranty itself.

 

[vivekindia]

but i feel we can get a better deal this way.one ends up paying a few thousand rupees to an assembler..
