Suggestions for Cabinet around INR 3000

[BombayBoy]

Hi,

Please suggest a good cabinet around the price range of 3000 (+300 on the upside).

No local brands.

I am considering the NZXT Gamma, Cooler Master K350, CM N300, NZXT Source 210 and BitFenix Merc.

Thanks

but the K350s window is something that's looking attractive
you think the others are a better value for money proposition

In a K350 you will have trouble fitting even a Hyper 212 !!!

Yup the source and the merc alpha are much better vfms.

Thanks. But OC is not on the agenda now. Would you help me with some inputs?

Thanks. Could you please help me with the best rates that you can quote.
I checked the NZXT on primeabgb and they show it with a window, whereas, the official product lacks a window.

Well thats a nice price you are getting there. There are two versions- one with the window and one without.
Get the one you like.

yes, i was at PrimeABGB today evening.
NZXT Gamma 2200
NZXT Source 210 (Window) 2800

so i am going with the Source 210 Window then (but the problem is that the system will now be a Haswell)

confirmed with PrimeABGB boss (Sardarji) he instructed the staff to update the site about the arrival of Haswell and we should see it tomorrow on the website if they do their work

mobo's coming first week of June and processors coming June 10
pricing, 1000-2000 ka difference hoga (as compared to Ivy Bridge) was his reply when asked compared to Ivy Bridge

Well its your choice for which cpu you go for. In india you can't expect the old products to get cheaper when new ones arrive.
Also from what i've heard haswell cpus need special psus due to their low power features. Think bout that too.
As for the cabby, best of luck and post pics when yo get it.

 

[BombayBoy]

sure.

yes, read about the PSU requirement for Haswell. i ain't expecting a heavy price cut. but if i can shell out a bit more and get the latest, lets see. for now, i will only get the cabinet to start with. else, i will drift towards the PS4

will the pictures of only a cabinet suffice

 

[saikiasunny]

Yup! The cabby pics will do!

 

[BombayBoy]

Got it at INR 2900 today (they say price increased)

here are a few pictures (please ignore the quality or orientation)



thank you
