I am looking for a gaming cabinet, my max budget is 6K. It should have good cooling options, cable management and also able to accommodate 12" long graphics card and CM Hyper 212X. I will be buying it from S.P road in Bangalore or online, only if it is cheaper than street prices. I have shortlisted these.
Corsair Carbide 400R
NZXT Source 530
Cooler Master N500
Cooler Master HAF 912
corsair 400r gets my vote.
if any other cabinets come under this budget please mention it, is 400r better than nzxt source 530?
Silevrstone rv03 for 5.5k plus shipping. Pm me if interested.
*obviously not brand new. Bought in August 2012.
anybody knows the street prices of Corsair 400r and NZXT source 530 in bangalore
Assuming you're buying a 12" long card with PCIe connectors on the side, Corsair 400R.
But assuming its a single card configuration, and you're not going to have more than 4 internal storage drives, Corsair 300R supports up to 17" cards. So you're getting a lot of space and no problems of clearance even if you're attaching the PCIe connectors on the side- and one of the fans pushes air front the front directly to the card!
I find 300R to be bit stronger than 400R. Nothing wrong with Corsair 400R, but I seriously recommend checking the unit for any dents or damages (especially in the Rear I/O section) before taking it home!
finally bought the NZXT Source 530 for 6000
