Budget?

for Low budget CM Elite 310 is good for 2100/-

Med budget CM 690/Scout 6.5k

High budget HAF 932 - around 10k

[rakeshmarar]

Sorry i did not mention my budget. Max Rs.3000. My main concern is it should be airy, spacious and should not give problems when upgrading to newer GPUs like 4770 or 4890. And it should be able to fit a cpu cooler as well. Any suggestions?

CM 590 ftw!!!
Can fit upto 18" graphic cards because of the adjustable HD tray...
And has lot of optional fan slots, that you can attach...
And I guess comes for less than 4.5 K...

[rakeshmarar]

But the CM590 does not have a restart button, i heard. Thats a flaw. Anyone planning to sell their cases ???

[mav2000]

CM 590 is awesome and reset button really makes very little difference.

[rakeshmarar]

Thanks for ur prompt reply. But i guess CM590 at 4.5k is too costly for me cos i have to save money to buy a GPU. Any better options available? Any idea how much will the Antec 300 cost in mumbai ?

[Gannu]

The Antec 300 costs close to 4k INR in Mumbai. Take a look at the Coolermaster Elite series. They have some decent cabinets for under 3k.

[rakeshmarar]

Which of the Elite models do u guys suggest ???

[Gannu]

^Whichever fits your budget - more like all the Elite series are clones of one another except for some facial changes. Take your pick on whatever is available in your neighbourhood PC store. :)

Please confirm the price, it might be 4K, and you should increase the budget by 1K, if you plan to have a roomy, airy and future proof cabinet.:)
