I have my nice little APC 800 VA UPS which I guess is pretty much sufficient for my coming rig.
And yeah,I won't be buying Samsung 2233 as the current Samsung T220 I have has much better specs than 2233. And I don't think HD would look much better on 22". It needs at least a 30" LCD. As for GTX 295 I'm buying it because I want my PC to be
future proof.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Damn!the carpenter messed up my computer table. Made the place for keyboard on right and made a drawer in mouses' place. WTF!
Will get it fixed tomorrow.
Want everything to be perfect before my i7 rig arrives.
And yeah I wanna buy a WiFi card for my PC. Any suggestions?

[amitash]

^Go for linksys....
And btw, another gfx sollution which will perform equal and sometimes a little faster or slower would be 2xgtx260 SLI...I got a quote from KMD at Rs 11,600 for one evga gtx260 core 216...So only 23k for two....Im just saying this, cus GTX295 is one of the worst vfm cards ever.

[SunnyChahal]

No way I'm buying anything less than GTX280. But man GTX295 is teh beast!!
As for the WiFi card, will it support Linux?

[ashu888ashu888]

^^

yup, tat Linksys is really good as told to u by Amitash..

also, my plans for the LCD Samsung 2233 hv also been postponed, as not having any money now to spend more on my rig, maybe in future i'll see..
----------

Hey Amitash, any new games u tried on ur Rig.. ??
yaar, kabhi games ke baare mein bhi likha karo..
----------

Cheers n e-peace...

[amitash]

i will be trying games now... On my brand new zotac gtx295.... actually i was going to go for 2xgtx 260 sli but my dealer had someone coming from U.S so i got gtx 295 for only 25k... Only 1k mord than the gtx260 sli... I still say that if u are paying 35k, its not worth it, 25 however is... As for the card, its HUGE... 12" and it just barely fits in my case... Will post pics of it soon.. Also will post pics of the water cooler.... Also has a beautifull smooth matte black finish... Also got free racedriver grid and 3dmark vantage.

[ashu888ashu888]

^^

woow... tats awesome.. :O tell me the next time u ar eplanning to buy any cards from the US... i will pay u in advance.. (seriously)...
-----------------------------------------
Posted again:
-----------------------------------------
btw, im planning to get another gtx280 SSC (of Evga) if u hv any1 coming from the US, do tell me Dude..

[amitash]

someone keeps coming once a year atleast so i may be able to get u... Problem is that u dont get warranty... I got the card thru my dealer itself, but from us so he can pull a few strings and get me replacements... I dont think gtx280ssc is available as i cant find it in stock anywhere... So u probably have to buy for 22.5k again.

[vikrant333]

someone is coming frm US in nxt month so i also thinks get good gfx card & TRUE 120 for my rig

what is the idle temp. with stock cooler?? my rig always shows 40 c and at 25% load it will
show 51 to 53 C ?(NO OVERCLOCK)
is it right or i shuld chnge my cooler??

Congrats for your purchase.

I'm looking at it buddy. Can you post some pics with those coverter cable connected.


BTW, I doubt the ups you bought is overpriced though I'm not sure.

check out this webpage :
http://www.deltapage.com/

They are selling APC 1500VA UPS for Rs. 9950 only. Can you call them & confirm which model is this ? Coz the price diff way too much.

[ashu888ashu888]

^^

well, i got this UPS from APC themselves, a lady from APC bangalore called me up and asked me if i was on the lookout for a UPS (as i had mailed them 15 days back, hence the call came), so i said yes and questioned her that wether they hv any APC distributor in Mumbai from where i can buy that UPS (related to my needs), so got that shop's name along with the concerned person.. so i think if PAC gave that number to me, it must be a trusted source..

Anyhow.. i saw that link of Delta Peripherals, the APC UPS is jus mentioned 1500VA (no wattage, not even model, also those ppl are offering jus 1 year Onsite warranty, whereas mine is 3 years warranty from APC, so i guess the catch is in the warranty period)

My model is: SUA1500i (its a 1500VA, 980W UPS with 3 yrs Onsite warranty)
----------
This is the lkink to my UPS: http://www.apc.com/resource/include/...total_watts=50

I'll post pics by this afternoon.. (by 12 or 13.00 hrs)

Cheers n e-peace....

[amitash]

@vikrant: those temps are correct... The stock cooler sux... The vcore might be set to 1.325v automatically by the bios.... Just change it to 1.22v for better temps... Will post my water cooling results soon.

[ashu888ashu888]

^^

-----------

Cool pics amitash. cheers buddy....

[ashu888ashu888]

^^

topgear: sorry yaar was not able to post the pics.. so my apologies...

Neways, since i purchased the UPS from APC directly, Along with the UPS, i got the following:

1.) 2 power cord cables (IEC320 C13 to IEC320 C14) i.e male lart at one end and female part at the other end. (so those 2 i used one for my LCD to the UPS and the other for my PSU to the UPS)

2.) one spike guard (especially made for us, indian users) which has a IEC320 C14 (i.e the male plug which ill go into the back of the UPS and then in the 3 sockets of spike guard, i hv my Router, Speaker connected to it)

3.) 2 CDs (one a powerchute installation CD and other, the manual..)
----------

the spike guard was faulty (as i started using it) so called up APC, Mumbai's main distributor and the spike guard was replaced within 2 hrs at my home.. along with a proper bill for that spike guard..
-----------
also, that UPS weighs an enormous 24.5 Kgs...

Cheers n e-peace....
