A Budget PC Under Rs. 25,000
By: Jayesh Mansukhani   |   Jul 19, 2007


Monitor: Samsung 17 '' Flat 798MB (Rs. 5,600)

Under Rs. 5000, the 17-inch Samsung Flat CRT offers excellent value for money. And even though LCDs are hot nowadays, there are still certain areas in which CRTs do better. They can output at different resolutions and give excellent viewing angles.

As with CRTs, the 17-inch 798MG has a viewing area of 16 inches. It has a maximum resolution of 1280 x 1024 at 65 Hz refresh rate while the optimal resolution is 1024 x 768 at 85 Hz. The maximum usable resolution is 1152 x 864 at 75 Hz. Maximum usable resolution defines the resolution at a refresh rate of 75 Hz or better. Anything below that will give a flickered output.

Keyboard & Mouse: Microsoft Optical Keyboard and Mouse Set (Rs. 800)

Microsoft makes excellent keyboard and mice which are sturdy and can be used over long hours of work. At a cost of just Rs. 800 this is an excellent buy.

Cabinet: I-Ball i648 ATX Cabinet with integrated 400 Watt Powersupply (Rs 1,450)

Prices of cabinets have risen since we last did a roundup. We were forced to drop VIP here and replace it with an I-Ball cabinet that comes with a 400 W PSU and is available for cheap.

Speakers: Creative SBS 370 (Rs. 1,200)

This has been our favorite for a long time. The best part — it comes with a woofer to give you that thumping bass and gives you good sound quality for the price. The satellites are powered at 5 watts RMS each and the Subwoofer is powered at 11 watts RMS.

Thanks, great article. It's a big help, but maybe you should also write an article on how to put it all together properly. that wud be great!
joshua @ Sep 16, 2007
Hi, thanks to your fine article I've embarked on the ambitious project of building my PC. I've bought the configuration suggested by u with minor variations of monitor, cabinet and speakers due to availability. I'll finish assembling it by tomorrow.
Since I've never assembled a PC before, i have no idea about the initial setting up of the computer once i've assembled it. Once i power it up for the first time do i have to configure a lot of things like BIOS settings etc.? Do i also need to update the BIOS? What else do i need to do before i load the OS?
I apologize for so many queries but i realize that the initial setting up will define the overall performance of my machine, and so i don't want to goof up on that. I shall truly appreciate any advice or instructions from you.
Thanks in adv

Naseem Ahmad @ Aug 15, 2007
what about building a PC under Rs. 30,000 with an TFT monitor and also ready for directx 10.
I think with the prices of peripherals going south it can be done, with the use of some imagination.

A good article, but I want to suggest that u try with different combination(in processor, mtrbrd , gpu, etc) as ppl rqrmnt is different so it may really helpful
sandeep @ Jul 20, 2007
A good article but I beg to differ on a few points. Especially the cabinet - I have been using an i-Ball Benz cabinet for more than 1.5 years and I'm not satisfied with the quality of this cabinet. This is not particular to my cabinet... These cabinets have a low quality sheet metal which is a bit too thin to make it sturdy enough. I can just hope that i-Ball guys have improved their quality with time.

Also, the Basic Optical Mouse that comes with the keyboard-mouse combo has to be the worst mouse I have ever used. The optical sensor is too buggy and the mouse pointer often jumps to random corners of the screen. It really is very irritating. I returned the mouse to my dealer the very next day. I'd rather use a ball mouse if an optical mouse has to be this buggy!!!
Raunak Mehta @ Jul 20, 2007
Thank You Mr Jayesh
Why you didn't go for core2duo and intel 945 board. It is costing almost same. And more easily available.
Please pleeeeez clarify.
Raju Anand @ Jul 20, 2007
IT is ok but if the processor is pentium then what will be the cost and performance.

I have the M2A-VM HDMI - which is an excellent motherboard. However this board was released very recently and so important BIOS updates (especially regarding display) are still being made. Make sure you download the latest BIOS version from the ASUS website and flash it using the ASUS update utility provided in the Motherboard CD.
Simba @ Jul 19, 2007
