    I can get excellent configuration desktops in US for about $1000, but it seems like prices are expensive in India and you get much less power in terms of configuration in India?

    Do any of you have recommendations for where one can shop for good desktop computers in Chennai?
    (ok with HP, Dell, Acer, Lenovo or any reasonably reliable brand)


    First preference: Intel core-i or AMD Athlon/Phenom dual core or higher processor
    Second preference: Intel core 2 duo or comparable

    RAM: 2 GB RAM minimum (would be nice if it is 3GB-4GB)

    OS: Windows 7 preferred (it is ok if it is Windows Vista)


    Any good showrooms or reliable places to buy genuine components and genuine Operating system/software in Chennai?

    Thanks.

    spiderman,

    There are lot of genuine dealers in richie street. infact, i and my ex-colleague, brought each part of my first pc and assembled it at our home in the 1990.

    don't go on your own, unless you are conversant with what you are looking for and can really talk and deal with them.

    For me, I have a systems person, who assembles the system as per my configuration.

    regarding legal versions of the software, you do definitely get them in chennai.
