A Budget PC Under Rs 25,000

Monitor: Viewsonic VA1930WM

This is a 19-inch widescreen monitor that has a native resolution of 1440x900, offers an excellent response time of 5ms, and has a great 700:1 contrast ratio. It is among the cheapest widescreens available and is just right for our machine.

Microsoft makes excellent keyboard and mice that are sturdy and can be used for long hours. At just Rs 695, this is an excellent buy.

Cabinet: Zebronics Bijli With 400W SMPS

Zebronics is an Indian company that offers a variety of PC components such as PSU/cabinets, co-branded motherboards, and graphic cards. The products are a cut above the normal budget range, and far more reliable. The cabinet we have chosen comes with a 400W PSU and offers adequate cooling, all in a sturdy design.

Speakers: Creative SBS 370

This has been our favorite for a long time. The best part, it comes with a woofer for 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.
