In a dillema.....new rig...please help

[asingh]

kinda.....only the Cabby is left....and if the budget exceeds too much...i will scrap and get a mATX board itself....else it's pretty much the one i've posted here.....


EDIT:-
guys finalize the cabby, within 4k, from India(newegg import too costly becuz cases are heavy)..............

Just get the CM690 (transparent side panel) RS4580/--- (Lynx). No doubt or debate about this.

Nothing can beat this cabinet for the price. Believe me, when you see it you will be shocked. Its so solid, and heavy, and robust. Excellent cable management. It has provision for 120MM x 6 and 1 x 80mm fans.

 

[Krow]

Yeah... Putting in 500 bucks extra is totally worth it IMO.

 

[comp@ddict]

I waz considering this for 4.7k

NZXT Guardian 921

It's this or I will just get a simple case - CM Gladiator 600 @ 3.8k

Gosh..half that case is 'naked'.

Buddy unless the system is in another room, this case will not let you sleep. To much light will seep through.

Never seen a NZXT is real to comment about quality. Would still suggest CM690. Safe
bet.

By the way..is the side panel swivel or screw.

 

[hell_storm2006]

I guess this would change your mind about Guardian 921.

Stick with CM690!

 

[asingh]

^^ yea...cabinet is good, but not as good as CM690.

You can choose and decide.

 

[topgear]

It's better to stick with CM690 - It has best ventilation system in it's price range. Even cabinet priced higher than this has not this kind of ventilation system. So it's the perfect VFM cabby under 5K

 

[comp@ddict]

Guys the CM 690 Transparent comes to 5k..I've decided and already placed order of Antec Three Hundred....good buy?

 

[asingh]

Well..decent buy. Since you have decided.

Where you saw the CM690 being 5k.

Antec 300 is a fine cabinet. I liked the concept of washable fan filters and speed control for the fans.

It will be a tad small for large GPUs. Specially if you put in multi-HDDs

Chill..I'll never have 3 gfx cards there..nor multiple hdds too....

And the entire rig is coming fro lynx-india...as Amarbir said he has the Athlon II X4 620 and ASUS 785G EVO...i'll pick up 4GB DDR3 kit from him itself

Then why don't you just go for a zebby case ? You have good options under 2.5K and these would be enough as long as you are going for simpler solutions without multiple HDDs, Multiple Optical Drives, etc.

 

[asingh]

I never meant three GPUs. Anything longer then 10" will cause an issue in there. All ready the 5xxx series are 11"...!

 

[Krow]

@ OP asigh is speaking sense. You may have 3 or more HDD's later, so wasting 4.7k on that is not worth it. Better get CM690 @ 4.5k. Cheaper and better, so no hesitation.

 

[maldyzooks]

trust me, everyone thinks that they dont need more hdd's and end up like me with 5 hdd's n no ports to plug em in

 

[topgear]

Most of users have/need 2Hdds. You have got 5 in one cabby!

What do you do ? Are you running 2x hdd in RAID0 and another 2 in RAID1 and using the single one for OS ?

@ Techalomaniac - yup, CM690 is the way to go. The hdd installation is so easy on it

 

[comp@ddict]

Guys....i can't go on stretching my budget..


and trust me...when i say i'l have one:-
-gfx card
-no pci cards ever(wont evr need)
-only 1 HDD
-1 optical drive

I mean it...and if u say that a CM Elite 334 will be able to accomodate that all...i will even go for that cuz i really dun wanna increase the dammned budget...getting hd5850 is gud enuf..

Yeah CM Elite 334 seems good enough. See if you can get the transparent version though.
But then also consider Zebronics Reaper. *www.zebronics.net/Zeb_Reaper_(T).asp

 

[asingh]

...getting hd5850 is gud enuf..

Have you ordered the 5xxx series....

 

[comp@ddict]

No...I just need to confirm the mode of payment from Amarbir..his cell is switched off....from yesterday nite...uff...then order will be placed.

now the entire rig is confirmed.....Cooler Master Elite 334 Transparent...comes for 2.6k.........

Finally....

 

[desiibond]

you sure that HD5850 will fit in that cabinet?
