At 4K? I can't think of anything else.

At 5K? You have the mighty Corsair 400R. :p Check out on Flipkart.

@ Sukesh, I thought theitdepot is a company of some repute...I almost purchased Corsair 400R from them as it was costing 100/- rs. less then buying from Flipkart, thank God ! common sense prevailed and I placed my order of Corsair 400R from Flipkart @ 5040/- on 21 Feb

Just had an email from them confirming my shipment is on its way !!


As for your case I suggest 921RB but if you can just up your budget a bit, then get Corsair 400R from theitdepot @ 4380/- plus shipping to your place 300/- approx [only if you admire the modest looks of the case, that is]

Socceror done a review on 500R may be you should check that. It is the big brother of 400R. The review will help you for known issues.

^^perhaps the firewire could have been replaced with USB 2.0 or eSATA ports...is something I remember from the back of my mind [from reviews I read on net]

No.

Stick with Corsair 400R.

Indian CM 690s have rusting issues on the mesh.

yes. Confirm Corsair 400R.

NZXT Tempest Evo is also a good choice if you prefer "looks" and want dust filter for the PSU. But this isn't a big deal. Corsair 400R has pretty huge space for the backplate - that's why I am recommending 400R to you. I'm using CM 212 Evo and Tempest Evo and while installing 212 Evo, I didn't take my motherboard out. Because I didn't take my motherboard out, I had a bit of problem in tightening the backplate from behind with two nuts on the left.

400R has much bigger space, you won't face this problem if you don't like to take the motherboard out for cooler installation.

I thought pictures will be good to illustrate what I am saying. :p

^ sorry sukesh. intruding.

how is HAFX comparing to NZXT PHANTOM?
HAF X is obviously better. Both are full-towers.

But you see, HAF X is priced at 12K. NZXT Phantom, although a bit too plasticky is a full-tower at mere 7.5K. Bang for the buck.
