As suggested in my previous thread about upgrading my system, I have decided to not upgrade right now and instead use my old P4 based gaming system for a few more months until i5/price wars/price cuts come along:

But the problems is that my GTS 250 won't fit into my current cabinet (local). So, I need to buy a new cabinet. I already have a CM Extreme Power 600W (non-PFC) PSU, so please keep that in mind. In about 2-4 months, my upgraded PC will have:
-An i5/quad core 9xxx/Phenom II X4 and a compatible motherboard+4GB RAM.
-GTS 250 512 MB gfx card (9" size)
-PSU mentioned above
-2-3 HDDs
-1 DVD drive
I don't want to spend too much on a good cabinet, but I don't want a bad one wither. Also:
- No OC/SLI/CF (the damn PSU!)
- No third party CPU coolers will be used later
Somebody suggested an Antec 300 to me, but it seems very costly. Also, please mention if I need to install extra fans, if any, alongwith estimated price.
Also, is it reliable to use Indian e-tailers for PC hardware? I am not likely to use them for the cabinet as its bulky, but I could use them for buying things like RAM if I can't find it in Allahabad.
