The 'looks great' thing that you're counting in will fade out very soon, in the long run it will the utility & features that'll decide the VFM of a product.

So I'm too Gonna buy a Cabinet for a Gaming Rig.
Should I Get NZXT Gamma

@pratyush997
Come on guys!! you are making it hard for me to come to a decision!!

Please give your final vote to any of these:
CM Elite 430 @ 2.8k available in local shop (w/o side window will be alright)
NZXT Gamma @ 3.2k with shipping (Goes way out my budget 0f 2.5k) might be available in my local shop at 3k.
NZXT source 210 Elite @ ?? will have to find out

I want to go for CM elite 430 coz of my budget

What do you all vote for????
Thanks in advance

You're conveniently forgetting BitFenix Merc Alpha @ 2.5k inclusive of shipping.

Are you talking about the one on this site?

I am not considering the BitFenix Merc Alpha bcoz I will be receiving my PSU today and I really very excited and don't want to wait any more days to build my 1st system.
I gave those two choices bcoz I know that elite 430 is available in my local shop and NZXT Gamma being a popular one might also be available there, but BitFenix is new in India and is provided by only one guy from erodov forum(hence will have to ship it )

I am not ignoring your opinion, RiGOD, I just don't want to wait anymore.

Thanks

@ RiGOD - about the cons mentioned on CM Elite 430 :

filter removal is not an easy task without damaging the filters - there's absolutely no issue in removing and cleaning those filters.

small power and reset buttons - they are big enough IMO and though it's a little hard to press the quality of the buttons are very good.

 

[RiGOD]

^^Both of the above mentioned cons were not stressed in my post. I was just telling about the lack of cable management holes and dust filters.

Well I am really sorry all of you guys who have answered my questions, but my father shot down all my choices as he very firmly denied me from spending more than 2k on the cabinet + fans.

So I have no other choice but to go for CM elite 311 and be happy with it. Though I will add fans in future or hopefully get a new cabi with a bit of savings

So well all this discussions were for naught, but I do hope someone else might be able to benefit from these posts.

Thanks for your time, and sorry once again

^^Don't worry. Atleast it has better cable management features than CM Elite 430

Thought about NZXT Gamma?

 

[The Sorcerer]

^^ True. At times like this, NZXT Gamma is the only saving grace. Much better option.

Yup always think about positive things in bad situations

Though about NZXT Gamma?

^^ True. At times like this, NZXT Gamma is the only saving grace. Much better option.

Well its at around 2.5k, so

Gamma used to be ~2K before rupee weakened against dollar.
