Hi Guys ,

I would like to upgrade to a new cabinet so i would very much appreciate your suggestions in this matter .

budget - 3.5k-4.5k
requirements -
should not too flashy . A subtle statement is what i need .
should have a removable hdd cage
should have enough space for cable management
should support after market cooler
should have both usb2 & usb3 ports in the f_panel
both acrylic / mesh window is ok with me
should come in black
space to install two 120mm fans on top would be nice


I am looking at deepcool kedemon ti black and the corsair 300r right now
Would very much appreciate u opinions in this respect

A thing of minimalism, beauty, and functionality

NZXT S340

Primeabgb has for about 5k.

I know I would buy it if I ever needed a cabinet

thank you Faun for your suggestion ... unfortunately i count myself among the few who still use an optical drive in cases like installing os , so the external slot is essential . Any other suggestions ?

That case is designed very well. ODD bays take up lots of space.

Get an external case for you optical drive.

I don't have any other suggestions. Go with Corsair 300r in that case or

I have those gx900. Very sturdy build but sadly you don't get transparent side panel.

Deepcool kendomen, mine just came in..ill give a quick run down
5 preinstalled fans 120mm
Dust filters at all intakes
2 front facing fans have a white LED
Ample spacing and modular drive bays in case you need to remove them for more air flow or gpu space
Clear side panel, just to look sexy
Usb 3.0 headers
Tool-less hdd mounters
3900~ after adding a 7.5 percent discount coupon on ebay

i dont see any other case in beating this one within the price range of 5k ~

the gx 300 from antec also looks nice ... what do u guys say ? frankly speaking i feel that the 300r is overpriced coming at 5500

after much thinking and deliberation i have decided
1> to increase the budget to 6-8k range
2> have zeroed in on 2 cases
a> nzxt source 530
b> osbidian 450D
reasons 1> transparent side panel 2>good cable routing space 3> support for future lcs
unfortunately they don't seem to support usb 2 in the front panel( I need that in my current config) and the 450d comes with only 3 3.5"bay .
what do u experts suggest ?
