Guys and girls I need to buy a new computer. I need fairly a good one. My budget is about Rs.150,000 ok. So pls put forward a good config to fit this budget. I need to buy even the monitor, key board and mouse. Also state a place to buy the machine you are recommending. Thanks. This is a big help. :yes: :yes: :yes: :D

hey if u rely on sri lankan market u can go for Intel C2D 6400 processor-around 21-23K,intel 965 classic series mobo for 14-17K,ASUS are also the same but its not an easy thing to find here for a reasonable price.2GB Ram in dual channel configuration is is recommended(U have a good dough,he he 150K no?).
and for graphics u can go for ASUS GF7900 or GF7950(u have to buy them from epsi or ASUS centre),ATI is also a good choice.I think u'll love to have an ASUS Casing-17K(wow).select between Onboard Audio(intel 965 has a pretty cool audio solution-HD audio) and Something like Creative Audigy series(4K and up) audio is your flavour of sound quality.Monitor hmmm go for an CRT-17(Viewsonic-philips-LG)(u know LG and philips use the same tube called LG/Philips.).k/b mouse are not considerable ne.
I recommend Barclays trading for u 2 buy,they offer a good after sale service.
(Prices may be slightly different than mentioned here)

Contact Anusha! He even knows the current prices!

Ah! If I go to buy! I first put the best things (mboard, proc n abt 2GB RAM n a good VGA card) n ask the guy at the stall to give a quatation! If it's less than my budget, well add more! 7.1 souds... increase the inches of your LCD panel, and move up! Or if you are already up.. time to cut things down! That's how I move!!

Cheers!

    I can recommend

    Machan you can buy it from Metropolitan.

    They are the Sri Lankan agent for IMB & Acer.

    I'm also working there, but not in the Computer sale section.

    But I can help you, I think.

    Call B.S. Lakmal in Metropolitan Computers.

    There no. is 4 700 200.

    Or else tell me your details, I'll tell him to help you.

    :D :D :D :D :D :D

    CRT's should be avoided with this much of a budget :yes:
    He'll have to ship the VGA card from abroad. Otherwise, it's just a waste of money - for his budget.
    I think to see any advantages of buying an Audigy card over the integrated HD audio, he has to buy an Audigy X-Fi series. But then again, Creative's drivers are having problems with Vista.
