Purpose - Home/Home-Office, Media Editing, Net Surfing, (also Speech Recognition, maybe later) etc
OS - Ubuntu 12.04
Shortlisted the following configuration:
Sempron 145 AM3 2.8GHz (USD 42 approx) {intend to put a faster processor later - i suppose this would suffice for now}
Asus M5A88-V EVO (USD 160 approx)
LG WH10LS30 (USD 120 approx) - {intend to buy later as currently have an LG GH22NP20}
WD Caviar Blue WD5000AAKX (USD 67 approx) -{intend to buy later as currently have an Seagate ST380215A}
Monitor already have
Please suggest a good wireless (bluetooth) keyboard/mouse that can be also used to connect to my android phone while travelling
please also suggest ram, cabinet and power box.
low cost is the prime consideration along with "no-frills" but still ensuring backward compatibility and also upgradability (hence the asus mobo)
the prices quoted are converted from INR - any suggestions for reducing costs further without giving up on the freedom to upgrade are most welcome
would also like to hear from anyone if they had any adverse experience of using PATA (IDE) devices with this mobo
early responses would be highly appreciated
thanks
