Zebronics Bijli 2 Discussion

[Skyh3ck]

You must be the first Buyer of Bijli 2....... Will wait for review...... 4K is too much for a zeb Cab

 

[Skud]

I agree. Even discounting 500 bucks for SMPS, there are better options available for 3.5k.

 

[Skyh3ck]

What will Zabby do if Gamma is released with USB 3 support and more LED fan at the same current price......

Again if zabby want to win they need to come down in price.... And believe me it will sell like hot cake.....

Yup, thats true. Even at 3k this cabinet will be a very good choice till there is any other USB3 cabinet available for this price.

Sadly, in a country with so many review sources most of the guys circulate 1 media sample around.

It sounds really bad. I thought they generally send single sample to everyone. :/ (may be it depends on company)

Yup, thats true. Even at 3k this cabinet will be a very good choice till there is any other USB3 cabinet available for this price.

Buying any cabby with 3.5'' 2XUSB3.0 @600/- extra is more profitable than these..

Still, for a 4k, I have certain expecations for this case, similar to Coolermaster 690- especially the material. I hope the grills isn't punched out tin foil with holes on it. I hope that HDD bay rack isn't the same scene as well. If those USB 3.0 cable are nothing more than rerouting cables, then there's no point. Might as well buy NZXT Gamma and one of those front floppy/DVD USB 3.0 bay- and if its good, I hope zebronics do not degrade the quality as soon as the sales pick up. I don't really trust/like plastic standoffs.

I've just received the case about 2 hours ago. Overall built quality is pretty good but there are somethings that shouldn't be ignored.

The thumbscrew for the sidepanel is nothing but a plastic cap on a headless screwbit. The HDD tray feels like as if its made with some tinfoil sheet and I am pretty sure it will rust eventually, especially in Mumbai Humidity. The plastic HDD slides is very thin and weak. Also I am not really a fan of plastic PCIE hooks and its the same thing for this. The plastic thing in a way hooks at the back of the case. USB 3.0 is nothing more than a re-routing cable. I'll need to check if the rerouting works well the way it should. I found out who is the original manufacturer for this no its not zebronics as I would suspect. This is a relabelled case.

4k is a lot of money for this case. I would price it 2k if I was in their place. I would choose NZXT Gamma over this, but the case build quality is somewhat in par with Gamma, atleast it a pretty good paint job. Again, this is NOT a review. I just received it an hour ago. I haven't even taken the measurement of the case yet. So! There you go!

Looks like a poor CM clone. And OMG, that's a hard drive bay!

@ The Sorcerer - thanks for the quick preview and reading the issues with build quality I won't suggest this to anyone unless they reduce the price and improve the build quality rather than LED fan and some other showoffs - the old and original Bijli @ 1.1k was much better

 

[saswat23]

@ The Sorcerer,
thanks for the info.
BTW who is the original maufacturer? Is it XCILO?

 

[The Sorcerer]

No no no. You'll have to wait for the review to know the rest of it.

 

[008Rohit]

I'll buy this if the price comes down to near 1K.

 

[d6bmg]

And OMG, that's a hard drive bay!

Seriously, that looks more like a steel plate to me than a hdd bay. :sick:

 

[topgear]

I'll buy this if the price comes down to near 1K.

those 4 LED fans will alone cost you 1k - ready to pay a little more for the cabinet itself

 

[Revolution]

Then may be 2K ?.....

 

[Skyh3ck]

Sorcy you need to telll the Zeb people that don't sell crap at high prices if they really want this thing to sell... Make the price 2k......

 

[topgear]

^^ I agree with you guys - looking at the build quality 2k would be the most appropriate price

 

[Gollum]

cooler master 120mm led fans cost 250 rupees each and zebronics do not use fans of good quality. they barely have any airflow strength.
best option is to get it from a dealer who would reduce the cost after removing all the case fans. So later you can add your own case fans which would be better and will have the colour of your choice.

 

[Revolution]

Yep,I'm totally agree

 

[The Sorcerer]

No matter who says what and irrespective of the company, as long as it sells they don't care. Sales guys just don't see things that way. If it sells, why stop selling?

Unfortunately, that's how things work. Best thing to do is use such opportunities so that we, our members, members in other forums and people will know will stay one step ahead.
