Need total show off cabinet

[bharat_14101991]

My friend wants to show off between his group so he wants an cabinet to which he can add lots of lights(i will help him in this task), so please suggest something in 2-3k that has awesome looks+ lots of space to add new fans and led strips. Can he get usb 3 in it?

try source 210 elite or even corsair carbide 200R.

For show off - you ll need something with a side window panel.
I would suggest a CM elite 431 and adding led strips/fans and cfls into it.

 

[sukesh1090]

^^
i guess there is a version of source 210 which comes with a side panel window but not sure about that.

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

In that case - ur friend should get whatevers cheaper (source with side panel window and cm 431) and invest the saved money in modding.

 

[bharat_14101991]

Thanx alot guys... Will suggest these to my friend. Rest is his choice

 

[The Incinerator]

Antec X1 for show offs at that budget.

 

[sumonpathak]

• get a tin ka dabba...
• strip away the metals..
• keep the frame..
• paint it..
• use plexi glass as side panels and stuff...

Take a look at new Cooler Master K380....
Theitdepot - Cooler Master K380 USB 3.0 With Side Window ATX Mid Tower Computer Case For APAC Only (RC-K380-KWN1)
it has 1 USB 3.0 port and a transparent side window....Its a new budget gaming chassis from Cooler Master.

CoolerMaster Elite 430 is another good option..
Best option is open bench setup.

 

[sukesh1090]

+1 for both CM K380 and open bench setup.

@rajat giri,
btw good find buddy.

 

[bharat_14101991]

@sumonpathak i was gonna try the samething with my tin ka dabba cabby... Nice idea... But my friend want to spend money, he wont understand. Thanx for the idea.

@all k380 looks good too, but i'm struck between 7fans of nzxt source and 4 fans of k380.

Btw open bench setup means the setup suggested by sumonpathak?

 

[sumonpathak]

Open bench

How to cut the iron sheet if needed?

 

[sumonpathak]

[Rajat Giri]

@sukesh1090 Thanks...My friend bought that chassis recently.Its the best option for budget gaming right now.

 

[bharat_14101991]

Something that can be done at home? Nai toh lathe machine toh colg mein padi hai

@rajat thanx alot for the suggestion dude... Sent the two choices to my friend, cm k380 and nzxt source 210 elite.
