NZXT Gamma@2k/
CM Elite 430@2.4k

CM Elite 430 is bad for cable management.

I need good cable management, i can install extra fans later....

 

[rockfella]

Elite 430 is your best bet, will cost you Rs. 2800 but very worthy. It has good cable management unlike what the guy above mentioned.

@mailme.manju, if you looking for good cable management don't buy cm 430.
cable management is really poor with this cabinet.

I'm not looking for a showy cabby.... I need better cabl managmnt, and cooling

Is there any other better cabby in 2k range?

CM Elite 430 is your best bet. For a showy cabby, you should look in i-Ball / Zebronics range but they stand nowhere close to CM in terms of cooling and installation.
I'd suggest to extend your budget, if you want a cabby with all the features you've mentioned!

How about making one?

 

[manujohn]

Then go for NZXT Gamma ... It has good cable management n look. Best option at your budget.

I am leaning towards gamma now.... As i said i can install the fans from my bijli cabby for now and in a month i'll get extra fans.... Is gamma better than CM 430?

honestly speaking, its cable management is the best u can get in OP's budget. u cant expect it to be on-par with 5k cabinets, can u?

 

[MegaMind]

Got Gamma for Rs.1935 from itdepot...

Now planning on adding extra fans...
Can i buy 4 blue led fans?
Installing led fans will inc. temp. inside cabby?

LED or normal?

 

[Zangetsu]

LED or normal?

if cabby's side panel is transparent then LED looks downright sexy....
else normal ar good too...

 

[MegaMind]

ok...

 

[MegaMind]

now planning on getting 3*120mm led 90CFM fans...
my doubt is can i place the fans in foll. way?
Intake,
front 1*120mm led 42CFM,
side 2*120mm norm 42CFM
Exhaust,
rear 1*120mm led 90CFM,
top 2*120mm led 90CFM
thus maintaining a negative pressure inside the cabby....
Is it ok?
