1. Just get a macbook pro or macbook
2. Would you like it packaged? Like in a complete desktop? I always end up building my own PC since I have specific needs. But for affordable packages - try Dell Inspirons, Lenovo ThinkCenter, or Acer E380. The software part you have to get... since not all of those listed would be bundled with the package. Likely on the OS will be, which means you have to get your own copy of the MS Office 2003 or 2007. And sorry, it's now Adobe Flash. =)
3. U can get a pc below 30K indianruppes. go to a computer shop & ask for price list with the details u gave here. According to current market price, they will tell exact price. U forgot onething in your list. its UPS. unless u have 24/7/365 pure sinewave power supply u need a UPS or atleast spike/surge protector.
4. That's quite a list of requirements! Any new computer will meet and beat those requirements. Best thing to do is watch your sale ads in the Sunday paper - Office Depot seems to consistently have the best deals in my area. The cheapest and most affordable computer that you find will probably work (more expensive ones will run faster, but any will make the grade). If you have a choice, opt for 2Gb of RAM instead of the 1GB that most inexpensive machines come with. Most of the time, computer deals in the paper also are bundled with printers. As far as the Microsoft Office software (Excel, Access, Word, and Outlook), that is pretty expensive stuff. A better alternative is Open Office. It is 99% compatible with MS Office, and is a completely free download from www.openoffice.org. Project, Visual Studio, Visio, SQL Server, and Dreamweaver will not come preinstalled on any computer you find, you will have to buy them individually if you need them.
