My uncle arranged me to meet him at Sim Lim Square at 6pm as he wanted to get a pc and needed my recommendations. We looked around some of the shops, then i brought him to 6th floor "Hardware Place". Outside the shop many SFF(small form factor) cases are displayed. They listed two price packages for an aopen shuttle and the MSI Mega PC. The MSI mega package costs $1255 and aopen package around $800++. I saw creative slix. My uncle being an audiophile, I recommended getting the Creative Slix as it includes a audigy 2 sound card. So he agreed and chose the creative slix.
We got
1) Creative Slix + audigy 2 sound card
2) Intel Pentium P4 2.4B
3) SMART 256 PC 333 Rams
4) Western Digital 40GB Harddisk
5) Aopen cdrw and DVD combo
6) Logitech MX Duo
As he wanted to use wireless networking on Maxonline wireless plans, we also got a DLink usb wireless card.
Total $1035
Then we took a cab back, setup the systems. I discovered that I forgotten to bring my XP Pro cd. So he told me to go back home, bring the necessary stuffs and stay overnight at his house. I went back showered, brought some clothings and the software. Reached his house at around 2330.
Started to install XP Pro for him, however the cdrom did not detect the cdrom. I tried a few times before calling Kai. Lukily, I also brought along my Windows 2000 cd. After formatting installing windows, I found out that my XP Pro cd is spoilt. Loaded all his drivers.
The main problem we had was went we hooked up his amplifier to the audigy sound card, sound came out from the left speakers but not the right speakers. Troubleshooted this problem for around 3 hours, then went to sleep at around 5am.
