Check out circle gaming cabinets.

CC 821 = 3000 - Circle Gaming Series PC Cabinet CC 821 Model Black Colour With 3 Year Warranty | eBay

CC 820 = 3000 Circle Gaming Series PC Cabinet CC 820 | eBay

CC 830 black = 4000 - Circle Gaming PC Cabinet CC 830 | eBay

I was going to buy CC 830 white but instead bought CM Storm Scount 2 cause I couldnt find reviews on circle cabinets but its definitely good looking. And I have seen circle other products like keyboards, they are decent enough.

for how much did you buy CM Storm Scount 2???
circle cabinets are not even close to corsair spec looks....imo...i saw them few months back also...
even saw the antec X1-T with windows but not impressed as the corsair spec

spec has killer looks from the front but I'm afraid that the interior paint chips off easily and has only 3-3.5inch bays...

thinking of getting spec 02/03

will not be able to buy for 10 days as I'm out of town...if i order now it wont be delivered as no one will be present to receive the item...moreover i should only receive the item, as to check if everything's okay.

FX8320 is more future proof than i3.

if u really need the power, then oc it years later with a suitable mobo and cooler. however, if u r not a gamer, then u may not even feel the need in next 8-9 years, and even i3 will suffice.

if u dont wanna spend for i5, then get 8320, and pay the extra amount as installments by paying for electricity bill.

sorry already I'm getting huge electricity bill(dunno know why, maybe i should create a thread)...and i run pc off inverter too so low power = nice!

now my current athlon 4600 haS TDP ~90W

I liked the cc 830 white more than spec cause I was looking for cabinets in white colour. And it has a good white and blue theme.
But apart from that there is good colour schemes in circle cabinets like black and red on the insides too and that might be visible cause of the windowed side panel. But if you like spec then go with it.
Scout 2 cost me 8300rs cause I got the ghost white one which is costlier than the black ones. But its built is very durable and strong. looks extremely sexy with white leds especially at night haha. I ordered mine from itdepot too.

My original preference was NZXT phantom 410 but it was not available. CM HAF912 is good too but costs 5600.

I would say check local stores and you might get something cooler for a lesser price.

here more than 50 computer shops are there but all of them have ze9ron!c$ crap and other !b@ll crap and Tec#c0m crap, etc...
except one who sells a cooler master thunder psu...he became close and started selling corsair cx series, only for high end customers

instead of investing 8300rs, i can get a new case in future when i need...and it gives the feel of new computer...

I seldom change my pc. Right now I am using a 5yr old dell studio 1555 . I wanted something good and sexy but durable and I have no plans of changing this for the next few years hopefully lol.
I also liked CM Elite 431 Plus Cooler Master Elite 431 Plus Mid Tower Cabinet - Cooler Master: Flipkart.com
But thats too out of stock. Even thermaltake makes good cabinets. Keep looking and you might find something which suits your needs and budget.

fx8320 wont be much of a huge on to of what u paying., unless u keep it under load for hours, day after day (read : play BF3/4 everyday).

@ idle, ~16w more than i3/i5 & ( i.e. 62 hrs to bill 1 unit of electricity more than i3 )

@ load ~80w more than the same ( i.e. 12 hrs to bill 1 unit of electricity than i3 )
