Yes I know ITwares is good, but they do not have Zebronics Bijli.

Anyways, I have ordered Iball Mystique cabinet (Rs. 1500 without SMPS) from a local dealer.
It has 4 Front USB Ports and 2 cooling fans.
Will get it on Monday.

Thank you all for your replies. :)

^^ thanks for the info ;-)

@ OP - if possible cancel the order and get either CM Elite 310 or 350.

tips:
1- Install the back fan as exaust.
2- front fan as intake..
3- Top fan as exhaust ...
4- Side fan as intake..

Thats all, all you should do is to try to maintain a good and smooth airflow touching all the components and then throwing the hot air out... BOL with your cabinet anyways.. :) ;)

follow the above post sans option no. 3 and buy CM 80mm fans with highest RPM possible - if you want LED 80mm fans look for them at flipkart.

^^ what RPM are you talking about. more RPM = more air will come in or be thrown out.

also don't grab those local fans. i have used. they just spin and make a lot of noise. better spend a bit more and grab one of the cooler master ones. should offer better cooling and will last longer.

BTW, one hitch before getting CM 80mm fans - they comes only with 3 pin female connector without any kind of molex to 3 pin Adapter cable - so make sure mobo has plenty of 3 pin fan header or else Op will have to invest in molex to 3 pin Adapter cable which may cost Rs.40/50 bucks each.

Hello guys.
I have seen the cabinet yesterday, it does not have the provision for top fan.
So I have decided to settle with inbuilt 2 fans. (1 front and 1 rear.)

I am not comfortable assembling the PC hence I went to the same dealer.
He assembled everything and while testing, he found that motherboard is not powering up.
This may be because one molex pin was already broken in the cabinet.

So he said he needs to check the motherboard properly and asked me to come tomorrow.

Pray for my computer guys. :(

Tell the assembler to test the mobo outside of the cabby. Also tell which psu you are using?

^^ thanks for pointing it out .. forgot about that.

@ OP - this thing happens sometime due to contact between mobo and the cabinet metallic part - though the brass standoffs provided with the cabinet will keep the mobo from touching the cabinets metallic part this just happens sometime .. if the mobo runs outside of the cabby try to pin point the brass standoff or it's mounting place/location or any other elevated metalic part of the cabby which may come contact with the mobo ... cover that part with electrical tape .

Yes, he tested the motherboard outside and said there was some problem with the SMPS.
I tried a lot to know the exact problem, but he was avoiding my questions. :(

Anyways, cabinet to ghar pe aa gaya ab. :p

tell the assembler to test the mobo using another PSU - they have some cheap PSU in stock always - you don't need to buy it just tell the assembler to check the mobo using one of his PSU.

No, I haven't changed the PSU.
He just said that there was some problem with PSU and it has been repaired. (I don't know exactly what problem it was.) :(
