AMD Athlon II X4 635 5200 ---> Athlon II X4 630 @ 4.5-4.6k
MSI 880GMA-E45 5900 (USB3.0 not a compulsion) ---> Gigabyte GA-MA880GMA-UD2H @ around same price.
2GB DDR3 2500 ---> price is 2200-2300.
22" LCD Benq/AOC 7600 ---> 7400.
500GB Hard disk 2000 ---> 1900.
DVD-RW 1100 ---> 900.
Keyboard+Mouse 800 ---> 600.
Iball/Zebronics cabinet 1000 ---> Zebronics Bijli w/o PSU ---> 1200
FSP Saga 400W PSU 2000 ---> price is ok
APC UPS 550VA 2100 ---> 1800

TOTAL: 28.4k. so you can also go for the MSI 890GX board spending around 1.2k more.

i want to buy zebronics bijli cabinet since it has 2 side fans and also 4 front USB ports
Also it has 1 front Blue LED fan. I will keep my pc on for night downloads so the the Blue LED fan might disturb my sleep
So is there any way that i can put off the Blue LED light so that the front fan rotates without glowing the LED??
Thanks

Only Gigabyte/MSI are preffered

ASUS makes some of the most solid and reliable boards if I am not mistaken. What is wrong with them, apart from poor after sales service? Could anyone elaborate?

Keep a shoebox in front.
I wont recommend tinkering with fan as it can damage it.
Or you can shift your bed or your computer table. Or you can sleep on couch or on floor or can cover your head with blanket..

Regarding bijli. I'd shortlisted some cabbies that i'l buy this december.
I was opting for gamma for its beautiful body. But now that you'v mentioned meritis of bijli, i am havin second thoughts. So just asking, how good is bijli over gamma, apart from the stupid name that reminds me of random old granny from 'Swadesh'.
