And that big grin!

I would love to purchase through E-business, but I am not very sure about the security. I think they should have more payment gateways.
Also I am not very sure about RMA offered by them.

security = basically how much you trust them, the sellers I buy from are folks I know on TE, so i can trust them, much like I can trust an ICE distributor here.
the mode of payment is ICICI cash transfer , which usually works out
and the RMA is the stickiest bit - the only bit I've run into trouble with so far - is by the local distributor, so not a big issue

Did you find difference in quality of parts available from local distributor and that offered by Net retailers ?
Have you experienced any damages during transportation ?

Which one, 7200.10 or 7200.11 ? Again price is much lower in that what I get here.

Nice graphics card at bargain price.

The price is VFM.

What is the size of fans ? 80mm,92mm, 120mm ?

I would like to say that the entire set up in my city will cost me 10K more than what you have spent.
SJP Road, Bangalore, the prices are always up to date here. There are a few shops to avoid in SJP road like the ones which says are ISO standards etc...

Fans are 80mm non branded. 120mm Cooler Master Fans cost Rs 350 each.

Now I am suffering from minor heart attack.

The price I got for non branded 120mm was Rs. 2000.

What I forgot in previous posts : Congratulations to you for this CPU.

no difference. transportation is an issue for sensitive parts like motherboards, gfx cards and monitors. other stuff is fine

lets you view multiple windows at once without having to switch between them.
example: you could be surfing the internet on one monitor and playing NFS on the other monitor. when you want to see if you have new main, just look at the other monitor instead of pausing the game and alt-tabbing out.

my config:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 [each core operates @ 2.4 GHz]
Gigabyte 6 Quad S series motherboard [don't remember the exact model number and too lazy to pop the hood]
2x2 GB Kingston RAM modules
XFX Nvidia 8800 GT Alpha Dog edition video card with 512 MB dedicated VRAM
4 DVD burners
320+250+500 GB Seagate hard drives. total: approx 1 TB.
Gigabyte case with CoolerMaster SMPS
Razer Lachesis mouse [resolution of 4000 dpi]
Razer Lycosa keyboard
Creative 4.1 speaker setup
Samsung Syncmaster 2243nwx 22" monitor

that's all for now.

Got a Compaq Presario v2620TS laptop and just bought a new system (It's actually a server )

CPU : Intel Xeon 5405 (2 Ghz , 1333 FSB , 12 MB Cache)
Intel M/B : S5000 XVN SATA
RAM : 8 GB FB DIMM Transcend 667 MHZ (32 GB Max supported)
HDD: 500 GB Samsung SATA* 2
Monitor: Benq E2200 HD (21.5" Widescreen)
Graphic Card: Palit 1 GB 9500 Super +
CABINET : VIP With 600 Watts CoolerMaster SMPS
Standard wireless Logitech Mouse and keyboard.

The best part is I don't have to think about upgrading for few years to come and the worst part is I will have to get use to the noise it makes :(
