the ones from kobian and intex are good enough

if u have the bucks go for a gamin cabinet from antec

and all specs should be inspected manually
coz model numbers are not readily available

okie... but can anyone give me shop names at laminton mumbai as dont know any shops over there which can give me a lot of variety to choose from... from my dealer i get cabinets like PERX iball etc... which i think is not from the company but local brands with label pasted.....

if ur really tight on budget, then I-box 522 is good for 600-700 bucks. good cooling system

i totally agree. iball cabinets have the cheapest build quality. they are just good looking and nuthing else. strictly not recommended. try vip/frontech/antec sonata.

egg.jhakly.. iball sucks bigtime. antec is best ( a bit pricy tho) for low price VIP is most appropriate.

so ?
ur entire system performance depends on the cabinet and its cooling capapbilities
why would u wanna buy a cheap and bad quality one ?

cabinet buys are VERY underestimated ...
plz guys .. take care of ur components get a decent cabinet
spend a few hundreds more and get a good looking and good quality cabinet .. its one of those one time buys .. like ur monitor ( tho not that expensive ) that u dont change for a long time

the VIP 1122 cabinet is a great buy

it costs about 1,200- 1,400
transparent side panel with a cool led fan...atx and all that is req.

it looks good and can give its antec counterparts a run for their money.

i am using it for 8 months with a p4 3.0... no over heating issues...

Hey, how many CD drive bays does 1122 have?
And does the price include SMPS? i don't think so. Which one should be installed? 400 W

I have recently got Antec SONATA- I With True Power 380 W for Rs. 6350.

It sounds great but the performance is good.............

what do you mean by pathetic quality? bad cooling or anything else?
