Its CRT (Cathod ray tube) was displaced from the original place so it was giving me incorrect picture. Thats why i replaced it and brought a new 19′ LCD from DELL. I brought Dell SE 198WFP 19-inch Widescreen Flat Panel from a local vendor for Rupees 9,800/- (About 232 USD). Its very nice LCD TFT Screen with silver bezel.

Earlier my PC Configs. were average like 512MB RAM, 15′ CRT Monitor, 80GB HDD etc, but now i have 1.5Gb RAM, 19′ CLD TFT, etc
Have a look at my current configs.
AMD Athlon 3000+ 1.8Ghz (Overclock frequency 2.2Ghz for Gaming)
Hitachi 500GB SATA 2, 3GB/ps 7200RPM HDD (HDP 725050GLA360)
Seagate 80Gb SATA 2, 3Gb/ps 7200RPM HDD (ST3802110AS)
Hynix 1GB+512MB DDR400 RAM
DELL SE 198WFP 19′ LCD TFT
and other stuff…

But due to different size of RAM , currently my PC is not running in Dual channel. So i am enjoying 1.5GB RAM but with power of single data flow.
My next upgrade will be towards GPU (Graphics Card) , currently i have onboard nVidia 6100 on my ASUS A8N-VM Motherboard with nVidia 410 nForce Media and Communication processor.

Look how clean my PC is (From inside)

Clean , Neat PC

Clean , Neat PC


Its clean in the sense proper arranged cables for airflow, proper spacing between components, etc.

Its From outside.
