We recently bought several high-end computers for our office which will be used with Linux Operating System (Fedora 8). The price including VAT comes to Rs 19, 214. It includes 17″ Samsung TFT monitor, 1 GB ZION RAM, Intel Pentium 2GHZ Dual Core, 160GB SATA HDD and more. The Motherboard comes with 1 Gigabit LAN. Here is the complete spec with price:

The final price after 4% VAT is Rs. 19214. This doesn’t include any optical drive because we use network to load / update software. The system runs blazingly fast on Fedora 8. It appears to run even faster than my Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHZ!

Assembling it was a breeze. The Zebronics SMPS is 450 Watt.

If you are looking for a powerful Linux Desktop in India, I would recommend this. The 740NW Samsung 17″ (wide monitor) is a pleasure to work with.
