what to do after buying it : take a lack perma-marker and erase that "bijli 2" sign on the top.
WARNING!!! specmanship detected :
1. hexacone top panel : i have no idea how it affects everything else. does it provide liquid cooling or help in overclocking? no? useless.
2. delta side panel : does it help increase the temperature delta? or provide more airflow at crucial times? no.
3. airtake front panel : come on!!! ye to bas jaali lagi hai (its just a wire mesh)
but if zeb takes care in pricing, they could have a hit on thier hands

Just advertising gimmik. If it even come close to territory of haf series its a fail but better pricing might make it a winner.

Are you going to review it.... Then yes please go ahead we need to know about airflow, teps, build quality, VFM etc...

Back to school!!
I do, looks interesting, I want to see how well the USB 3.0 ports and cables are designed and implemented.

Hello
I purchased the Bijli 2 in Chennai a couple of days ago.
A brief first impression:
Pros:
Cabinet fit-and-finish is excellent.
Front USB3 ports
Toolless installation - hard drive bays, optical drive bays and expansion cards
Bottom mount PSU with about 1cm gap between the PSU and the bottom of the cabinet.
Cons:
USB3 ports rely on 2 numbers of *normal* usb A cables, which have to be routed out the back either through a slot or through the holes provided for water cooling (Since I don't use water cooling i used the watercooling holes).
The clips which are meant to retain expansion cards are very fragile and unless one is very careful they will break off easily.
SMPS bundled with it is Zebronics Gold, it does have only one 4-pin power connector for the CPU which means one cannot use eg Intel DP55KG board with this PSU straightaway (as it requires 2 4-pin connectors). Also it doesn't have any power connector for graphics cards. (But I suppose one could always get a better PSU).
Cost was 4050/- (at wholesale rate according to the dealer).
Edit: I got it up and running with a basic config and thought you would like to see the basic case temps:
CPU
Intel Core i3 2100 @ 3.10GHz 35 °C
Chipset
Intel Corporation DH61WW (LGA1155 CPU 1) 29 °C
HDD
244GB Seagate ST9250315AS ATA Device (SATA) 27 °C
(This is after about 1hr of moderate use with some idling in between)
(Temps as shown by Speccy software).
(I installed 1 extra exhaust fan at the top).
In reply to the last post, the front grill is very rigid and doesn't flex even if one leans on it... but material is unknown. The drive trays are chrome plated but the base material may be tin for all we know...
Also the drive trays allow to mount 2.5" devices without any adapter. Currently I'm running a 2.5" Seagate drive as the only drive in the setup.
(Will install a proper graphics card and test again).

^^ Congrats and Thanks for the review
Can we install expansion cards using screws as the clips are very fragile ?
I think if someone don't OPT for the PSU then he can get Rs. 400-500 off which makes this one around ~3.5k and a few months later the price will reduce further

It will take some time. Some1 already has that case and its going to take some time. Sadly, in a country with so many review sources most of the guys circulate 1 media sample around, out of which most of the review guys send it in a very bad condition and even with some packaging/accessories being 'misplaced'.
