Monitor: Samsung 17-inch 794MG (Rs. 4,850) Under Rs. 5000, the 17-inch Samsung CRT offers excellent value for money. And 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 794MG 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. 800) Microsoft builds excellent keyboards and mice that are sturdy and are ideal for long hours of work. At a cost of just Rs. 800 this is considered to be an excellent buy. To top it, the set comes with a three-year warranty unlike other brands which offer only one-year warranty. Case: VIP-755B with 300 watts PSU (Rs. 1,400) Among the zillions of entry level cases and power supplies, VIP offers good quality with a reliable 300 watts Power Supply. It has a slot for front USB ports and allows you to hook up 80mm fans (the standard size) at the front, back and side of the case, facilitating good case ventilation. The fans don’t come with the case and you will have to buy them separately. If you haven’t observed, we have chosen all the components in black, making for a good looking desktop computer. The black case follows the rest, with the silver front panel further alleviating the looks. Speakers: Creative SBS 370 (Rs. 1,175) This has been our favorite for a long time. The best part—it comes with a woofer to give you that thumping bass and gives you good sound quality for the price. The satellites are powered at 5 watts RMS each and the Subwoofer is powered at 11 watts RMS. |
