Piracy = Illegal

Getting by Custom = Illegal

With my incomplete very limited knowledge of maths......its giving me

Piracy = Getting By Custom = Illegal

just my opinion

Logik

nothing serious......i was only wondering how man with hard view on Piracy can have a lil different view abt the custom?

I do have very hard views on piracy. I just think that customs duties on personal baggage is too high. I am willing to pay customs duty and I have in the past:

- when I imported my Onkyo TXDS-747 5.1 amplifier receiver, I paid Rs. 18,000/- as duty
- when I purchased my Pioneer 3-disc DVD player, I paid Rs. 7,000 as duty
- my Bose AM10 speakers cost me Rs. 12,000 on duties

On all the above, I was allowed Rs. 12,000 as exemption (as it was then). I have receipts for the above, if someone wishes to inspect.

My grouse is that I can purchase a laptop abroad and pay no duty but if I am bringing in components, I am asked to pay 40%++ in duties. And these things do not count in my standard exemption. I can understand that if I was going to bring in hundreds of such items. I will pay duty then. I sincerely believe that these are my personal items, not for sale or profit and should be counted in the personal exemption. I am more than willing to pay duty on the differential cost.

Ok...i got u r point.

BTW tell me one thing, with laptop u have total custom excemption irrespective of the cost of laptop? & what abt the warrenty of the laptop? any idea? will that be valid in india? eg, i buy a HP laptop

just4kix

As per the exemption list, any Indian citizen is allowed to bring in (import) one laptop without duty - irrespective of cost. Customs will not even look at the laptop as long as it is the only one. I travel abroad frequently (four times last year) and everytime I could leave India without a laptop and come back with a brand new one on return.

Warranty/support is owner's responsibility. Reputed companies like Dell and HP do support international warranties. No idea about Acer. But warranty is for one year only and after that repairs are paid for. Nothing happens to a good/reputed laptop for two/three years anyway.

dont go for the older FSB i.e. 1066mhz opt for 1333mhz it is a lot faster as i own
one of the motherboards supporting 1333mhz FSB

and your motherboard is obsolete ask for Asus p5n32e-sli or if you have the dough go and buy EVGA 790i ultra SLI motherboard As its name implies, EVGA nForce 790i Ultra SLI motherboard is based on the latest high-end chipset from nVidia for the Intel platform. What is new on nForce 790i compared to its predecessor, 780i, is the support for DDR3 memories and PCI Express 2.0 support generated by the chipset itself – nForce 780i was in fact an nForce 680i with an additional nForce 200 bridge chip making the conversion between PCI Express 1.0 and PCI Express 2.0. Both chipsets support 3-way SLI mode, which allows three GeForce 8800 GTX's or three GeForce 8800 Ultras to be connected together, and Quad SLI, allowing two GeForce 9800 GX2's to be connected together and enjoining four GPU's, as each GX2 is powered by two GPUs. Two of its three PCI Express x16 slots are PCI Express 2.0 and this motherboard has also two Firewire ports, optical SPDIF output and more.

and one more thing please do remember to buy a good power supply from reputated brands like antec or VIP.Power supplies from these manufacturers are costly but they are woth to buy and dont forget to buy a good CPU cooler do not opt for the stock intel metal CPU cooler buy a cooler made from copper from cooler master or some other good brands and if you can afford buy cooler master aqua gate S1 then see the performance of your rig and your rig will run cooool.
