Thks! Change and fix it ard

I'm pinning this thread. The previous thread's success was shortlived because TS go MIA myself being one of them.

initially it was my thread, all based on my recommendations. then later there's some other guy, i can't remember.

now i hope SARX can do a good job updating la, while the rest just pm him to update the 1st post.

or better still, you can list out ALL the contributors. we give about 2 weeks to accumulate contributor list.

After that, each one go in an post 1 post in a new thread. This way everyone just update their own post, no need kacau TS. ....... now why didn't I think of this earlier (eg 2007 till now) - i have no idea. LOL. maybe my brain cleaner now.

Added on August 20, 2012, 10:22 pmhrm. after going through 1st page - i guess you guys are already doing that. me slowpoke. nevertheless - I think we'll have to tidy up the thread a little.

I actually copy all the build and make it into a blog, well nobody seems to care

if they don't mind that ok la.

i haven't updated mine. http://www.goldfries.com/pc-buying-guide/ and i don't copy others setup to put on mine because i don't feel nice.

I did mine too, but the problem is when this thread goes wild like 20++ pages, forumers can't find their desire build in that pile of mess, so I just copy mine and theirs and just make it into a blog! Nice and simple with title to go with, easy to find

It will be cool if we can create a page with pull down menu for the components and total prices will be calculated at the end. Then update the price database every 3 months.

Option of selecting rig by price (maybe price brackets) or by purpose, also specify if need monitor or OS or peripherals. But someone need to actively look up the different offers in Garage Sales, unless the sellers are willing to send in the updates themselves.

Eg:

Default start page to include: Expected budget, option if to include monitor/OS/peripherals, and purpose (general/gaming/graphic workhorse/mixed)

Then upon selection, a preset configuration of recommended parts (for the set budget) will come out. At that page, user can select what they want to change as each component will have pull down menu with parts (and average price)

At the end, the new total price will be calculated, with info on where to get the components for best price.

Need some suggestion for 2 specs around RM1500 budget with monitor for a cybercafe rig .. wanna noe AMD and Intel rig and which is more worth it.

Personal suggestion:

Intel Dual Core G630 RM179
MSI H61 RM149
Sapphire HD7770 RM439
Kingston Value Ram 4GB RM64
Seagate 320GB HDD RM159
FSP Hexa 500W RM149
Gigabyte GZ series casing RM59
Any DVD rom/writer RM60
Any 20" monitor RM300

Total: RM1559

This is the best you can get

Pentiun G630 - RM179
MSI H61M-P33 motherboard - RM149
Kingston 4GB DDR3-1333 x1 - RM63
Sapphire HD7750 1GB DDR5 - RM329
Toshiba 500GB hard disk - RM189
Liteon DVD writer - RM59
FSP Hexa 500W power supply - RM149
Gigabyte GZ-X casing - RM59
20" monitor of your choice - RM279-329

RM1455-1505 total

Optional:
Sapphire HD7770 1GB DDR5 - +RM110 (RM439)

AMD? Don't see any.

both of you have similar specs .

anyway, as mention, since cybercafe rig don need any optical drive, can shave off and add on to graphics/monitor size. was wondering if HD7770 can handle full hd properly.

and chances is, i might go for case-less design..now just wondering, if i "Push OS" to the systems, will it be giving too much stress on the server pc. cause with this push os..dn need hard disk anymore

Typo there, should be i5

I aspect cyber cafe should run server, so there's no need for a large HDD

Intel Core I3 2120 – RM354
Asrock H61m-Gs – RM149
Kingston Value Ram 2GBx2 – RM64
WD 160gb Blue - RM1xx
Gigabyte 400W - RM100 (C-zone)
Cooler Master 343 Elite casing RM99
Sapphire 7770 vapor-x – RM489
Monitor of your choice - RM200
Total: 15xx

Or even remove the HDD from the build and use diskless systems instead.

Yeap! But just incase la

Obviously. It can happen for being fast. Thanks

Anyway, there is no core i3 3450 at that price.

Updating the price for the components every 3 month is too long. Even 1 month is too long. It has to be done at least twice in a month since price for hardware changes pretty often.

will keep that in mind... thanks

Well thread can only be successful for reference guide as discussed alot of time before,
different user have different taste and opinion on their rig to be purchase.
Pretty sure you have seen a thread where the Thread Starter insist on AMD and other sifu will do what they do best to give reason why Intel currently taking the lead as best for bucks.

It is welcome without no doubt since for user like me it is easy to modified suggestion given to my own personal occur or using it to compare pricetag

but deeper discussion like setting up 3 monitor or any other situation will deprive the user to create their own thread.

that was the idea last time. all recommendation in 1 thread. but it got so messy in the end it's pointless, at most for reference.

end up people still open their thread to request.
