Going to build a low end rig. May I know where can I find CM Elite 241 or CM Lan Case 240 casing in Lowyat Plaza?

If not, where can I get it around KL? Thanks.

I think Viewnet has LAN case
2k budget with all that? Don't expect a good gaming rig.

Core i5-4150 - RM369
Asrock H81M-VG4 motherboard - RM159
Kingston 4GB DDR3-1600 x1 - RM134
Sapphire R7 250X 1GB DDR5 - RM319
WD Blue 1TB hard disk - RM174
DVD writer of your choice - RM59
Antec VP500 power supply - RM149
Thermaltake Versa or V3 Black or Aerocool VS-3 case - RM129
Samsung 20" monitor - RM279
HP 1515 AIO printer - RM259

RM2030 total (Viewnet prices)

Not going to stuff SSD when base performance is not even decent.

OK, thanks. Will pay a visit there next week.

today I just went to lowyat plaza and purchased the parts I need, just realize the latest batch Intel processors (i3) are made in Vietnam.

Not sure if i5 or i7 also like that. Well, I think this shall not affect non oc user...but for k processor, u guys prefer made in Costa Rica or Malaysia?

TristanX Bro, could you assists me, the Casing below you recommend me last time, got other choices or options? I don't like this design that above got hole open air, prefer fully cover with air flow from below to to behind.

NightFelix looking for casing? I have just hanging around lowyat plaza few days ago looking for casing too.

If you are looking for m-atx casing, you might want to get this (@ Sri Comp):

Initially I also don't like the design that above got hole open air. However, the Thermaltake Versa series TristanX recommended really have better built quality than Cooler Master. Else, pay a little bit more to get the Bitfenix Neos.


Well, in the end I settled with Armageddon Hectatron T3X. (RM109 @ Viewnet) [Because it includes two 120mm fans, the intake fan got led fyi smile.gif]

Thank you to TristanX and BOTAK_WAI, I finally ended up this build due to RM2,000 budget for building the Rig with Monitor. tongue.gif Cut the Core i5 back to Core i3 and changed the Casing to BitFenix Neos. laugh.gif

i thought you opted for Bitfenix Shadow? Shadow is nicer than Neos but Neos seems to have better airflow. However you won't go wrong with either 1. thumbup.gif
You go for Neos with window or w/o window?

Spec wise but do you feel that the TP-LINK TL-WN727N USB Wifi adapter a bit weak on signal? Because I have been using this for long time already, can online but file transferring slow... sad.gif

For 24" Dell E2414H is ok but BenQ EW2440 spec is better. I just realize BenQ has revised their warranty policy on LCD monitor this year, if last time definitely no go. For now it seems can be recommended already:

Product: LCD Monitor

Warranty Period: 3 year for labor and parts if purchased on or after 1st Jan 2015

Warranty Service Type: Carry-in / On-site pick up* (On-site Pick up Service is available with respect to the product covered by BenQ's On-site Pick up Warranty only.)


Previously

Warranty Period: 3 year for labor and parts except panel 1 year only) if purchased before 1st Jan 2015.

Warranty Service Type: Carry-in

Nope. I go for Neos, Shadows is already using one. Got window and without windows what is the biggest different? hmm.gif

Was using Unifi, should change my wifi adapter I guess? hmm.gif or have to do with my wifi modem?

Dell all way to go for a peace of mind with the warranty.. whistling.gif Dell brand are top rated on Amazon, so can't go wrong with this one. whistling.gif

if u no transfering file over the WiFi, the WiFi adapter is sufficient for your use.

I'm dam pissing of for dealing with Idealtech.

After I done my first purchase experience from them last year, I was rate 5star for them but not this 2nd time purchase.
I will update more info later on if I can't settle in very good way with them.

Oh too bad to hear this. I never deal with them b4 but from review otai2 here should be ok 1. Hope is just some miscommunication or misunderstanding issues. hmm.gif

Yes like you said, it was some misunderstanding. I have updated my previous posts for future references.

Update: Alright, I have done settle with them with the 2nd purchase, it was my own fault that I didn't know that they have to charge customers for Postage if Full Rig purchase below RM3,000, as their quotation they send me didn't mentioned the postage fee until I fully payments, then they only update me there are RM45 charges for Postage.

That is why I was so pissing why didn't telling me earlier? Because last year, I bought the Rig from them was above RM3,000, that is why I thought all purchases from them are FREE delivery. Of course the RM45 is not a huge amount for me, but as a Customers point of view, at least they should apologies for their mistake which didn't let me know early on.

Conclusion is, it was just some misunderstanding/miscommunication, but next time future buyer please ask every single details before making purchase, or else you end up like me in Rage Mode. In case you ask did I proceed with this deal? Yes I did, even thou he offer me full refund if doesn't satisfy with them.

Keep calm and wait for your rig arrive happily.
