So I see no body missed me. I am back khair se. Was having a bad throat and really did not feel like coming online and updating things. Got the following for our new home computer, the budget this time for our computer was higher than the last time (4 years ago), had saved some money. Spent it all here…

* Intel Core 2 DUO E6300 1.83 Ghz
* 512 MB DDR2 533 Kingston RAM
* Western Digital 250GB SATA-II 8MB Cache
* COOL CASING
* CD-ROM Drive (From old computer)
* SONY DVD-Writer
* XFX GeForce 6200 with Turbo Cache 128MB (Expandable to 256MB)

Waiting for the following to arrive.

* ASUS P5B Deluxe (From Shing Technologies Karachi)
* Philips 17 inch LCD Monitor
* Thermaltake Big Typhoon (Through a sweet friend in the US)
* RAM heatsinks (SAME AS ABOVE)
* Harddisk cooler - Heat sink sort of with 2 FANS (SAME AS ABOVE)

Already paid for the Motherboard to Shing Technologies. According to the person who talked to me from the day one. It has arrived but is in CUSTOM CLEARANCE at Karachi Airport. Only Allah knows if he’s true or not, trusting them anyways. Shing Technologies isn’t a SCAM. Oh & the problem now is for the POWER SUPPLY. The casing I bought in 1800 Rupees came with it’s 300 Watts power supply, that’s not enough for the usage. Was searching around the Internet when found a website which showed a motherboard melted because of a generic power supply.

The problem here is simple, it might be written even 550 Watts on the power supply but you can never be sure if that’s true or not. So I have started worrying about this too… *sigh* Don’t know what to do. The motherboard’s ATX connectors were melted above, the reasons for it were stated as either the ATX connector was not tight or the system was sucking up too much from power supply. Too much as in exceeding the power supply’s so called LABEL. Came across this OCZ 520 Watt power supply, am liking it but it’s costing 90 - 120 US$!!! Freakin too much plus I have nothing left to spend! PLUS, no OCZ in Pakistan :\. Hehe. So my birthday is coming up on 26th…LOL. Let me know if you want to gift it to me. I know everyone here is kanjoos :p. Hehe.

Oh & set this up so it could run Vista also insha’Allah! The 3D card is not a really good one. Waiting for DirectX 10 Compatible 3D cards to arrive in shelves! Plus, will upgrade RAM too gradually insha’Allah.
