What are you talking about ? Cabinet or the bracket ?
I already bought the cabinet. Thanks for the input anyway.

The newegg one. For 13$ + tax + free shipping(in California).

Most of the NZXT that were imported in India 2012 onwards had USB3.0 fitted in them. I hope you are lucky too. My Phantom came with a USB 3.0 and 230mm side intake fan screw holes,the previous 2011 imports didnt have them.

DUDE .... Why wouldn't you post this a day back.
Could've saved my 700 bucks [But thats if it actually comes with the USB 3 support].
Actually not that big an issue because in total, I have 3*USB 3 ports on my mobo and after incinerators post, I could have 4 ports at my disposal. Supposedly, if things go well, I would be ending up with just one of those 4 blue ports without the USB 3 support

Thats pretty good news............................

I can surely post pics.
A review - ummmm...Prior to this, I have worked only with a desi iball case. So, I dont think I have enough experience to review the Guardian. Plus there are so many reviews of the guardian by comp geeks, available online. The best one imo - NZXT Guardian 921 Review - Overclockers Club (5 page review--- the only difference in this case and mine is that it doesnt have an extra USB 3 port).
In almost all reviews I read prior to buying, they mentioned that the cable management is a bit tough compared to other cases in this range. However it has very good cooling and killer looks to say the least.

From what I know, a review is all about what the user feels, some guys do it in a formal and experienced language while some don't and it still helps a lot in buying decisions, so go ahead and post something!
True.....
And with pics please

So be it then.
My processor and motherboard are expected to be delivered by 13th. I will be assembling on 13th or 14th. So you can expect a review by 16th or so.

Bought the Guardian for 4.5k
I had planned to buy a GTX 560 Ti but I ll be leaving for my hostel soon after Diwali and once I've left, my parents would be the sole users who use the comp just for surfing. So I ve put the gpu on hold until I return in summers. By then, I ll also have relatively better options in the same price range, probably I'll get one of the Kepler series card.
Few reasons for choosing the 3570k and a B75 mobo -
1) I was getting the 'k' series and the non k at a mere price difference of 5$.
2) The k series processor has much higher resale value.
3) I have no intentions of OCing the CPU in near future.
4) Not a major stand-out but the k series processor has hd 4000 whereas non k has hd 2500.

Congrats and it's really nice to to know you got at-least one USB 3.0 port with the cabby - NZXT should update their spec page on the website
but some experienced OCer/users would say paring such a high end cpu with some 4-5k mobo is not a very good idea.

I missed your concern mate, I should have posted a bit early.
