Hi, I need a *second* CPU for under 7-8K and I needed on some input on the current known 5 starred tried and tested - no hassle - setups. My personal preference is for an AMD + MSI combo. But I do not know of the specific models. This machine does not need to be the bling machine.. just normal DTP, spreadsheets, sandbox for web/networking apps, an occasional XP testbed machine etc. Debian should run and if possible detect everything in an hour with my molecular knowledge. All hardcore stuff goes on my machine "1". I do not want to buy something and then caned for buying "closed" hardware.
So to put it simply I need a processor (anything decent enough) a motherboard (the two need to do well in tandem and not blow my roof off, no I want an AC h/w) 256 RAM (is what I'm thinking right now- manageable.) a cabinet should set me back by 1500 (exclusive of the 7-8K limit)
I have an extra LAN card that I can use. Monitor and display switch operational. Input devices AOK. I have an extra CD drive. May go in for a DVD writer later (out of money)

Xtech cabinet with smps only Rs. 1150/-, reasonably good quality.

Will cost you about Rs.6500. Ofcourse this doesnt include an HDD. The gigabyte board is very feature rich. Has onboard lan, sound, video and OCing abilities. A seagate 40GB HD (barracuda) will set you back about Rs.2500.
