Hi,

I wish to upgrade my P-III machine with an AMD based machine.
I have finalised all the components except the Cabinet and power supply unit.

PLease suggest a good cabinet with appropriate cooling and a good PSU.

Total budget = Rs 2000.

thanks in advance...

A reasonably good cabinet alone will cost around Rs.1000/- and I doubt whether you will be able to get a good PSU for the balance Rs.1000/-. By good, I mean one with sufficient ampere ratings in the different voltage rails, especially 12V.

Even if it comes bundled with an ordinary 400W PSU, do you think it will support a configuration like (3000+ on A8N SLi and 3 HDD + 3 Optical) mentioned above?

BTW Zebronics has PSUs (which are said to be of very good quality) that cost many times the mentioned budget of Rs.2300/- for both PSU and cabinet.

They do have diff series of PSUs like ordinary, Gold, Patinum etc.

I can remember that name.
My existing cabinet is odyssey (250W) ATX. It's quite a large cabinet.

Finally, can anyone suggest a good cabinet +PSU under 2K...
