Get a cabinet from any reputed brand, with a power supply of atleast 300W. Just ensure that there is a good scope of adding more fans for better cooling.

Get KPPL cabinets.They are pretty decent.
Also ask them whether they will replace the SMPS that comes with the Cabinet with a Powersafe one.If yes they go for Powersafe 400 Watt one.

That should be sufficient for your system.

Hmm you have a Prescott,best of luck....hehehhee

few days back 2 Prescotts fried at my friends uncle's client due to heat and insufficient PSU and overall bad assembling.

for around 1400/- you can go for an Ibox Grantsdale Cabinet specially designed for the prescott's. i am using the same and it comes with a 350W SMPS. The build quality is decent but i doubt the SMPS rating. I suggest increase your budget and buy a Powersafe SMPS 400 watts and any cabinet for around 1000/- bucks. Total cost 2800/-

i found the i box ones quite attractive.
they come with heat vents which r quite effective n dont cost the moon either.

ps: anyone knows the ibox web page i forgot :oops:

The selection of a box and smps is determined by what you are putting into it. Suppose its a normal run of the mill system any box with a powersafe 400W smps is recommended Just see the box has an option to pou in an exaust fan. Now if you are into heavy gamming / data manipulation or any other heavy work and will be needing multiple disks etc then I suggest you go in for what is called a server chassis This setup has hot swapable fans for the HDD and processors also the smps is more rugged designed for a 24x7 type of usage. The only drawback of this is the cost these setups are in the range of 5-10K without SMPS.
