So I went system hunting today. More like a price hunt though, I went around Sim Lim Square hoping to get a good price for computer of my specs, and looking and checking out the monitors etc to see which I prefer. I always have this thing about LCD screen that I don’t like, they are very bright, and if I turn down the brightness, it’d look a little too sad. If I turn up the contrast on the other hand, something seems off, I don’t know what, it just is. Staring into LCD screen for too long gives me headache too for some reason. Is it just me? Or anyone else has the same problems?
I have now a rough idea of what kind of monitor I want, the Samsung one looks kind of cool, Philips one too. But I like those view Sony thingy which seems to have a matted feel to the screen. Most of the other wide screens I have seen seem to be quite reflective. Wouldn’t be a good idea if I want to laze on bed and watch movie on a bright afternoon.
So I printed 10 copies of this
and went around Sim Lim asking for quotes. I realize they have an increase number of Indian shop owners since the last time I went there. nothing good or bad, just interesting, one of the shop is owned by this Indian couple. The wife looks more like a white Indian or some sort and she speaks Chinese. So far they gave me the best price, but some of the things were replaced.
So anyway, here is what I’ve collected.
A little messy but will do some changes and decide from here where I will be getting my next system from.
I have always wanted to have one of those acrylic casing for my system but I realize today, all those casing are screwed at even the side panels. Good thing is I am able to see through everything, just for the fun of it. Bad part is, whenever I need to open up to fix something, I have to do the unscrew open and screw it back in this that.. it’s a little tedious.
It will probably take a few days for me to make some adjustment and decide which type of combination I want. Let’s hope that everything will not exceed 2k.
