Every time there’s surely things to buy, something to get fixed or something new to add to my electromagnetic environment at home.

So kan, this time there are a few things that I’m gonna buy.

• Notebook: RAM 2GB DDR2 667MHz x2. Est cost RM260
• Desktop: Sata HDD 500GB 16/32MB x2. Est cost RM600 OR
• Desktop: Sata HDD 750GB 32MB x2. Est cost RM750
• NAS DLink DNS-323: Est cost RM430

My notebook needs a little upgrade now because it’s quite slow when doing post processing for my photos. Crazily slow already. And now it’s gonna be even worst when I start doing my FYP. 4GB should be enough.

Next, why 2 harddisks? It’s because of the last item, hopefully cheaper in PC Fair. NAS – Network attached storage. Somewhat like a dedicated computer that saves all my files in one place, and lets it share with other computers at home.

We have at least 3 computers at home for a family of 5. 2 for me.

Some how the 750GB harddisks are cheaper than the 500GB ones, $ to GB. 500GB is nearer to 60cents/GB, 750GB is about 50cents/GB. Should be cheaper in PC Fair. 1TB at the moment is above RM500. If it’s at RM500 in PC Fair, I may get one of those instead. Times 2 of course.

Oh 2 harddisks because I can do RAID 1 or RAID 0. Something n00bs will not know. Geeko stuff.

The NAS has some good features in it, but being a DLink product I’m a little skeptical, but that’s the best value for money now. It has a webserver, bittorrent capabilities and also can act as an iTunes server. Good if I have over 10GB of songs but all stucked in my computer.

PC Fair also giving out some freebies for every purchases of RM300 in a single reciept (or RM200 if you’re a student). Most likely some stack of DVDs but hey still free.

Guess what. WiMAX will also be at PC Fair. I stumbled upon P1 WiMAX (or W1MAX)’s website the other day and it seems that they are having a simple contest.

Go to P1W1MAX website and click on this logo at the top left of the page.

Which will lead to this page:

The questions are very simple, for 2 of them at least. Haha

• Who is the first in Malaysia to launch WiMAX on the 2.3 GHz spectrum?
• What is the name of its WiMAX service?
• In less than 15 words, tell us why you want P1 W1MAX.

Pretty simple I guess. I’m joining it hoping I’d get some test runs on WiMAX. Hahaha *wishful thinking*

Oh wait! Thomas said they are giving out FREE WiMAX! Grr. Can’t wait to go tomorrow. Hahaha. Also, if you’d check out P1W1MAX website you’ll find a place where you can sign up for a free trial. I’ve signed up because it covers Gombak! Weeeeee!
