iPad 3 Cracked

sasivarman — Thu, 30 Jul 2015 16:30:18 +0800

My iPad 3 front glass is broken (shattered actually). But my display lcd works perfectly.

How much is a reasonable price to replace it? Someone quoting me RM280.

Also, is there such thing as original replacement etc?

Thanks.

Need help building new PC

sasivarman — Wed, 08 Apr 2015 15:37:57 +0800

Needs:
- I run very heavy CPU using work processes, so i guess i need i7 with top speed
- I want incredible startup speed, completely lag free computer
- I run custom codes that use 4-6GB memory dedicated to itself, so i need more, and I want the fastest memory possible
- I want the fastest SSD possible, those PCI-e based, and if need to raid smaller disks for speed, so be it.
- I will install Windows
- I am not sure what kinda details I am missing, like buffers, architectures, caches, bus etc. So i need someone to guide me
- I need a motherboard that can help me attain the above, and giant size is ok as long as expandable.

Necessities:
- Graphics: i need to support Ultra HD 3840 x 2160 (dell 32inch), but I don't need performance. Any graphic card that can support is sufficient for now.
- Casing: it can be looking like a brick, I don't mind
- Power: sufficient to run, dont need to overkill. Later in future can change if i get better addons.
- Cooling: Don't mind if there are 10 fans sounding like hurricane. As long as heating is never a problem ever.

When I am working with data processing (custom coded applications), inside windows, I will also be running virtual linux in parallel, and I don't want any lag at all. Currently I have an awesome laptop i7 3.33ghz, 8gb and 64gbX4-SSD-raid, and I use the max out of it. A good hearted forumer helped me to get it last time. Its now old and struggling with heat. But still, I never see any other computer with faster boot or performance than mine yet (at least among the my IT friends). So, next i need a desktop that is better than this. I really cannot tahan to work on PCs or laptops slower than my current one.

Budget: I really don't now - 5k+ for tower only? Please advise.

If you are willing to guide me, and let me work along you to fix everything by hand, then I will pay you for your service, also I need someone who can advise me on high performance hardware. I can probably share about high performance software to you.

Please reply if you are interested

The best setup at USD888 for computing

sasivarman — Thu, 13 Mar 2014 20:01:27 +0800

Dear Gurus of Hardwares,

I have been tasked to build a upgradable desktop tower (only tower without displays and accessories), for sole purpose of computing for my R&D job.

I know I can go bonkers with double graphic cards and extreme editions of everything, but the budget is limited for phase one.

So Phase 1:
- compatible latest motherboard
- i7 with humble price (no need max Ghz/cores)
- 16GB ram with good speed
- 128 GB SSD with good speed
- And the headache - nvidia GPU, the best that can fit the price, must be expandable to dual configuration in future.
- casing/power/cooling etc - go for minimum possible, as I will not overclock.

I tried looking at lowyat price list etc, and my head is spinning.

Please help all the enlighten ones. What mb+cpu+gpu will you go for at USD 888 / MYR 3000.
You can give me pointers and I will go research more based on your advise.

Thanks.

Best Restaurant for Valentine's in Malaysia

sasivarman — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 16:04:24 +0800

Hi ppl, it's valentine's again, anybody have suggestions for awesome place to take my gf for dinner? I will add my personal touch and make it really meaningful for her, but I need a real awesome top notch place to have dinner. money is not an issue.

she do not fancy fine dining, not particular about food type (not big fan of japanese or sashimi or oysters either.. desserts oh yess she will be glowing like child with candy).. do not prefer buffet unless got awesome desserts and nice place.. will not appreciate wines, it can be there but no brownie points.

driving distance from kl if possible. sg all can lar but last minute flight is no fun, unless someone suggest something to die-die-fly for. she deserves it anyway.

thanks a lot ppl, pls give idea, may u be blessed with awesome luv life
