you can get antec x1 at nehru place but elite 311 is better functionality wise than x1.only option better than elite 311 is nzxt gamma(not available anymore in Delhi & even Mumbai markets) & bitfenix merc alpha(if you can get it for under 3000 including shipping from any online shopping site).

coolermaster 311 is better & for 2300 is a much better deal than antec x1 which will cost ~2500.main negative point of x1 is that it has the older top psu placement while now-a-days bottom psu is the standard & all top/good cabinets have bottom psu placement.if you still want antec x1 then you can try mass computers shop.it is located in the opposite building same 1st floor across the building in which computer empire/smc is located(you can see its board standing in front of computer empire shop by looking very carefully across at opposite building 1st floor).

hey you got it wrong. antec x1 has bottom psu placement.

i suggest x1 over elite 311.

my mistake.still elite 311 has the advantage of better cable management,side-facing HDD rack for easy swapping & compatibility for good cpu coolers like hyper212evo but if that doesn't matter much then x1 is also good if available for ~2500 or less.

So i think i am tilting towards CM Elite 311.
Does it have HDD cage and screws included for HDD installation or i have to buy the cage separately??
