So... With all three HDDs failing, I guess it's time to plan for a new desktop instead of risking more hard disks failure.

My basic requirement is quite simple... Need a high performance machine. I do not game but I do have a 30" display that requires a Dual-DVI input for native resolution.
I currently have a quad core AMD processor with a CM fan. 8GB RAM. 3 HDDs (500GB, 1TB, 3TB). I would be sending in the drives still under warranty for replacements or whatever. From what I understand only the 3TB WD HDD is still under warranty.

So... What I am looking for here?

I would prefer a compact cabinet like I got for my uncle. But I am not sure if it is suitable for my needs. Need something that can survive for 3-4 years. Budget? Would prefer to spend less than 40K because anything above would be obscene for what I do with it.

I would try to recycle as many parts as possible but I do not see the point really. The internals in this box right now are at least 4 years old today except for the hard drives and RAM.

So... This is what I want... 

High quality cabinet

High quality PSU

A motherboard with USB 3 ports

Mid-range processor

8GB RAM (I assume my existing sticks would work fine?)

1 SSD for OS with 1 large capacity drive for data (or 1 hybrid with 1 data drive)

A low-end or mid-range GFX card that can support the display and has a decent fan! 

This is what I have right now: 

Hazel and Gus are two teenagers who share an acerbic wit, a disdain for the conventional, and a love that sweeps them on a journey. Their relationship is all the more miraculous given that Hazel's other constant companion is an oxygen tank, Gus jokes about his prosthetic leg, and they met and fell in love at a cancer support group.

Stephen Jameson stands at the crossroads between the world we know and the shifting world of the future. Up until a year ago, Stephen was a "normal" teenager — until he began hearing voices and teleporting in his sleep, never knowing where he might wake up. Now, Stephen's issues have gone far beyond the usual teenage angst, and he is beginning to question his sanity. In desperation, Stephen decides to listen to one of the voices in his head, and it leads him to his first encounter with the Tomorrow People — John, Cara and Russell — a genetically advanced race with the abilities of telekinesis, teleportation and telepathic communication.

The Tomorrow People are being hunted down by a paramilitary group of scientists known as Ultra. Led by Dr. Jedikiah Price, Ultra sees the Tomorrow People as a very real existential threat from a rival species, and the outcast group has been forced to hide out in an abandoned subway station just beneath the surface of the human world. Trading in secrets, Jedikiah offers Stephen the chance for a normal life with his family and best friend, Astrid, if he will help in the struggle to isolate and eradicate the Tomorrow People. On the other hand, Cara, John and Russell offer Stephen a different type of family and a home where he truly belongs. Unwilling to turn his back on humanity or the world of the Tomorrow People, Stephen sets out on his own path — a journey that could take him into the shadowy past to uncover the truth about his father's mysterious disappearance, or into an unknown future with THE TOMORROW PEOPLE.

General Elections for electing 16th Loksabha members would happen in 1 year from now. It may even happen within 1 year as well if situation arises like current govt decides to call early elections or looses majority if coalition partners pull off support (which is less likely). So who could it be forming new govt? BJP or Congress? NDA or UPA? Narendra Modi or Rahul Gandhi? Sushma Swaraj or Manmohan Singh? Arun Jaitley or P. Chidambaram? What impact Arvind Kejriwal would have on these elections? And finally will any 3rd front succeed in forming govt at Centre?

• Wireless connectivity.
• HP Ink Advantage cartridges (HP 678 Black and Color)
• HP ePrint support.
• Apple Airprint support.
• HP Wireless Direct support.
• Automatic print on both sides support.
• Scan through web portal.
  Took a couple of prints and all were good enough.  The automatic print on both sides amazed me as I have seen this only on high end laser printers.  Scanned some old photos and it looks great too.  Printouts fired from my mobile/tablet works fine using the native print support in android 4.4 but the print comes comparatively slower which is probably because it prints on 'Normal' or 'Best' mode and in mobile I couldn't find an option to toggle this.
   
  Overall a pretty solid printer for the price.
