need a new cabinate

[nipunb]

hi guys, i need suggestions for a new cabinet, I specifically need these things in it:
- compatible with corsair h100i
- should have at least one usb 3.0 and at least one usb 2.0 port in the front
- should have enough room for a gtx 780
- price under 15000

apart from above, other things doesn't matter about the case...
I don't know if there's any need to mention rest of the configuration for the choice of cabinet, but let me know if its required, i'll post it....

15k? Really? get CM Storm Stryker.

You have many options!

Nzxt phantom 630
cm stryker/trooper
cm haf x
corsair obsidian 800d
bitfenix shinobi xl

as you are not going for a custom water cooling setup, it all comes down to the look of the cabinet.

Take a look at Antec P280, followed CM Stryker/Trooper and 800D. That's it.

You can consider CM Seidon 240M as well. H80i is proven to be better than H100i and you can check out anandtech reviews or those who test coolers in a closed case and not in an open test bench, so when you're making purchase decisions google out for reviews and make a wise choice accordingly.

What are the core components you have currently ??

in my personal rig, I have h100i with 3770k and I suggested the same to my cousin, for whom this cabinet will be...
is h80i good for an overclocked 3770k?

What are the core components you have currently ??

currently the pc has a low end processor with stock cooler and no gfx card...
we want to add the 3770k and a closed loop cooler and a gtx 780 in it, apart from that i don't think there will be any upgrade in the pc for at least 3 yrs...

If you have no plans to upgrade for next 3yrs then get either Corsair Carbide 500R [mid Tower at 6.5k] or Corsair Graphite 600T at 9k. CM HAF-X, trooper or stryker will set you min 12-13k.

and most of the cabinets posted above are not available with any of the two online stores..

a 5k cabinet will cost 7k on FK. Try mdcomputers.in or contact the importer, they can arrange it.

guys, I've finalised these four cabinets:
- CM Storm Trooper
- CM Storm Stryker
- Cooler Master Haf X
- Cooler Master Haf XM

based on my requirements, I posted above, which case should I get..
P.S. Is the "CM Storm Stryker" available in full black colour as all the other pc components are black and I fear that the white cabinet will look odd with them...

 

[saikiasunny]

All of the 4 cabinets will fulfill your requirements!
My vote goes for stryker/trooper

 

[The Incinerator]

Since you have the budget invest a bit more and get the Phantom 820.

In totality it even deters Cooler Master Cosmos buyers!!!

Phantom 820 - NZXT

If you can wait till September then NZXT Phantom 530 will be released. Its costing well around $140. So that means any way around Rs.9.5-10.5k.
