PC for 10000

[NucleusKore]

Hi
I would like to know if it is possible to assemble a NEW pc for Rs 10000 with parts available in the market. I live in Mangalore.

Rough Configuration:

Processor (anything PIII equivalent or above)
Motherboard (integrated graphics, audio)
RAM 256 MB
Hard disk 40 GB (or 80, the price difference is not much)
Cabinet with SMPS
Speakers
CD-ROM drive
15" Colour Monitor
FDD 1.44"

Any advice will be much appreciated. Here PCs cost a bomb :-S
I'll get the parts from Bangalore and assemble myself if required.
Thanks in advance

The cost of a UPS@ Rs. 2000 will add to the cost. So I don't want to add 4000. A PIII equivalent will do, this pc is not for audio or video encoding or gaming. Do you know what a market is there for such PCs! There are so many who just want a PC for word processing and mail and surfing.

You know I remember reading sometime back hcl offering a basic pc for Rs 10000, tax and delivery extra, no UPS. Why buy a P4, new or second hand when you don't need one

Local hcl dealer had no idea

On my local cable TV channel (which shows new pirated movies) they air an ad in which PCs worth rupees 8K are available. They are P3s + 80GB + 15" CRTmonitor. Rest I am not able to recall.
So I think a sub 10K PC should be possible. I dont think they give a UPS with the main rig.

Sounds like what I am having in mind. Like I said there are people who only want a pc for word processing, web browsing, listening to music and maybe reading a book, and are using celerons, X2s, core duos and what not to do just that!

Sempron 3000+ (AM2) : Rs 1450
Mobo MSI-K9MM-V : Rs 2500
256MB DDR RAM : Rs 950
80GB Seagate HDD : Rs 1800
CD ROM : Rs 700
FDD : Rs 280
Speakers : Rs 300
Keyboard : Rs 200
Mouse : Rs 150
Cabinet + SMPS : Rs 800
UPS : Rs 1600
15" monitor : Rs 4000

Total : Rs 10730

Thats the lowest I can think of.

Getting a second hand one will be a better idea. You can get a higher config at less than Rs 10K.
