Hello There!!!
Anyone knows where i can get a Sapphire HD4830 in Penang Island? and if possible, pls let me know the price as well. I am very eager to get this little blue devil for my new low end gaming rig.

As i am on a very very tight budget, i am also looking at this case + PSU unit (JNC HJA-707) which PC Depot offers, and it claimed to come with a 22cm side fan and 450W PSU. Anyone has any idea or use this case before? what is the power efficiency like? if it has at least 65%, i will be more than happy.

With that said, my intention to go for Sapphire is obviously the bundled stuff (it has molex to 6 pin adapter!!! and DVI to HDMI!!!) I gave up ASUS EAH4830 after reading many user reviews which the fan making clunky noise and eventually died after 2 - 3 months (read it from newegg, almost 10% of users had this issue).


Except the graphic card, i am able to get the rest of parts that i want with the price listed:

Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 - RM249
Gigabyte G31M-ES2L - RM192
Kingston Value ram KVR 800 2GB * 2 - RM160 (ram price increased!!!)
WD SATA 500GB - RM193
Lite-On DVD writer - RM82

Is the above price good?? Pls recommend me the shop to buy if you know better price offer!!!

Thanks!! this is my very 1st post over this forum!! cheers mate!!!

After some more surveying today, i am able to get the Sapphire 4830 card at GZ for RM399.

Now, left me 1 question, as i mentioned in my previous post, i was really on a very tight budget, so is this Casing + PSU unit (JNC HJA-707 - RM125) which PC Depot offers, and it claimed to come with a 22cm side fan and 450W PSU. Anyone has any idea or use this case before? what is the power efficiency like? Can the bundled PSU support my spec as below?

Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 - RM249
Gigabyte G31M-ES2L - RM192
Corsair 2GB 6400C5 * 2 - RM180 (think that spend RM20 more on cool looking ram should be acceptable brows.gif offer by GZ)
WD SATA 500GB - RM193
Lite-On DVD writer - RM82
Sapphire HD 4830 - RM399

I will also install 1 more legacy 160GB IDE HDD

Any advice is very much appreciated!!!

Sorry for late reply, i can run it without much problem (no BSOD, no freeze during gaming). The only problem is it heat up real fast .. and i guess my mom will kill me when she see the TNB bill (because of low efficiency, the PSU need to draw extra 50% electricity)

so i end up bought an AcBel E2 Power 510W from hikari wink.gif
