The Best PC Money Can Buy

Monitor: Dell UltraSharp 2407FPW LCD x2 (Rs. 80,000)
A powerful machine is of little use if a great monitor does not back it up. Keeping this in mind, we chose Dell’s 24-inch monitor. This monster LCD comes with four USB 2.0 Slots and has a native resolution of 1920x1200. Its response time of 5ms (Grey to Grey) allows for fluid video and gameplay at HD resolutions. The monitor also comes fully equipped with S-Video, composite and component inputs therefore allowing you to hook it up to a video camera, gaming console and other external video sources. Hence, for a complete graphical experience. we chose to use two of these beauties in a multi-monitor setup as the perfect solution for our rig.

Keyboard: Logitech G15 Keyboard (Rs. 4,750)
Logitech sure came up with a winner with this one. With wide spaced backlit keys, programmable menus for games and an LCD that shows various machine statistics at a quick glance, this is the keyboard to own.

Mouse: Logitech G5 Laser Mouse (Rs. 3,700)
The G5 is arguably one of the best available gaming and general all purpose mice available today. With its laser tracking capability of 2000 DPI, and its weight system (allows you to set the weight of mouse through plastic weights) this mouse belongs with our roundup. The G5 is normally available as part of a keyboard mouse set with the Logitech G15 Keyboard.

Cabinet: Antec Titan 550 (Rs. 6,000) with Zebronics 730WPSU (Rs. 6,500)
Antec needs no introduction. Over the last few years, it has come to be widely regarded as one of the best cabinet makers in the world. Antec’s Titan series, has reached cult status with assemblers and enthusiasts. For those who plan to multiple raid setups this case will spoil you for choice.

For our power requirements we weighed options from Antec,Coolermaster and Zebronics. We chose to go with Zebronics‘s 730W SLI Ready Unit, which is a well designed unit and can easily power this huge rig.

Speakers: The Creative GigaWorks G750 (Rs 32,000)
The creative Gigaworks have been the standard to emulate for PC speakers for a long time now. The latest in the line of excellent products, the G750 7.1 speaker system embodies the power of speaker technology. In terms of output, it packs in a mere 700W RMS in total. Yep you read it right. 700W RMS. Each of the individual speakers is capable of putting out 70W RMS and the subwoofer 210W RMS.
