Hi Vardhan: Welcome to Hyderabad http://www.twincling.org/node/178 Here is a configuration that you can look at: . Intel Core 2 Duo . Intel Original board . 1024 MB DDR2 667 RAM Transcend . Seagate 500GB, Barracuda 7200.11, 32MB Cache, NCQ (SATA II) ST3500320AS . Viewsonic 17" LCD monitor . Sony DVD Writer . Pinnacle TV Tuner Card . iBall iTower Cabinet . TVS Gold keyboard . IBM USB Mouse Since you are staying at Rain Tree Park which is on the western end of Hyderabad, you may want to try at Kukatpally. However, i'd recommend, buying the items from CTC Park Lane, Secunderabad. Sorry, i've no idea about system integrators, as i've always assembled and repaired my systems myself ! If it works out, i can help you out with assembling the box on Sunday, 10th Feb after 5pm. Appreciate your thoughts about contributing to the Society. Happy republic day ! thanks Saifi.
