Computer Hardware Recommendations (India)
By Angsuman Chakraborty, Gaea News NetworkSaturday, October 15, 2005
With my experience and yours I want to compile a list of safe and reliable computer hardware to use to buy / create / maintain your computer and peripherals like printers, UPS etc.
This is a work-in-progress. I have based it on my experience with purchasing several assembled computers in India .
The views are unbiased. I am not affiliated with any of the mentioned companies.
Why am I doing this?
I don’t want others to be burnt where I was. I am also hoping to increase my knowledge through your input.
Note: This is for desktop PC’s only. It doesn’t cover workstations like Sun.
Here is what I found reliable so far.
