Hey guys, its been a long time since i made any modifications to my PC..

I'm planning on getting a new cabby, as its getting pretty tight inside Gamma..

-Budget : 15k max.
-Full tower preferred
-been a big fan of HAF X's looks.

Suggest me a good cabby..

First of all what are you planning to do in future with the case?
Few suggestions-
water cooling - 800d(14k-16k)
air cooling - haf x(15k) and silverstone rv03(10k) if you are into best air cooling and vfm
vfm - cm stryker/trooper(10-12k)
if modding is your thing :-D - haf 932(11k-13k)/ graphite 600t(9k to 11k) or any lian li in this budget

these are currently the best full tower/ large mid tower cabinets in india. :)

I like the 600t special edition, but i don't think its avail. in India..

Might not go for liq. cooling in near future, HAF X has always been my dream case, stryker looks good too..

Its available with FK for something like 11-12k -- you get less than what you pay for. If only air cooling is considered then nothing can beat the haf-x or the rv03. So make your decision wisely, check out some reviews, it will be much easier to choose.

600T SE vs HAF X?

A full tower will always be a full tower, no matter how much big mid tower you get. If i were at your place, i would have bought the cm trooper/stryker and spend rest of the money on some nice fans :-D

Both good. Ok out of these two i would choose 600t se. Haf x is very common :-D.

I like the 600T SE too but one thing bugs me,

Though my mobo(P8Z68-V) layout differs from the mobo used in the pic(evga x58 sli), its kinda backing me up..

Antec P280, CM Storm Trooper/Stryker, add few thousand bucks more and grab Cosmos II, followed by HAF-X and Corsair 800D.

I don't think it will cause any problem. Its tight but won't be a prblm.
Have you considered the 650d (same as 600t, a little better clearance above mobo) or the switch 810?

Hi Megamind .. even i m on the lookout for a new cabby .. even i m looking out for ~10K options. I have shortlisted HAF932 and CM Storm Trooper. I just love the trooper, i might go for that. Check out the videos / reviews of trooper. Seems impressive. But priced close to HAFX (trooper is aroind 11k-12K )
