NZXT Gamma PC Cabinet Review

March 5th, 2010 gaurav 4 comments

Cabinet is an integral part of your rig. Not only it houses all the components but also helps in safeguarding them. Most of the folks don’t think much when it comes to buying a cabinet. Often the cabinet is purchased from the amount left after spending on hardwares. While getting a new rig, I spent considerable thought in getting a decent cabinet. A search in local shop revealed that most of the good cabinets fell in the price bracket of Rs.4000 INR plus. I was willing to spend Rs.2500 at the most. I decided to rule out cabinets from iBall, Circle and other cheap brands as they are nothing more than a pile of plastic. Their construction is very poor and don’t look pleasing either.

Dell S2409W LCD Monitor Review

My old CRT monitor had started to show signs of ageing & so purchasing a new monitor was on cards. Today, the heavy CRT monitor’s have become extinct due the cheap manufacturing costs involved in LCD technologies.

November 4th, 2008 gaurav No comments

My old pc received another upgrade yesterday in the form of a new hard disk. Till now, my computer had only 40GB HDD, which by today’s trend is nothing. Modern games, operating system, software’s etc take up a huge amount of space of the hard disk. We download so much from this World Wide Web. Then we have data from mobile, digital camera and other gadgets which need to be backed up. Also due to such small capacity, I faced difficulties in dual booting my pc.
