It doesn't look too bad but circle is not a well known brand and therefore its hard to say how good/reliable their products actually are.Try searching for reviews online of this particular cabinet or for feedback from people who have bought their products-if the reviews are favourable,u may go for it.

Understand it like this:
a ferrari no matter how much its paint has faded & scratches it has will still beat any hyundai santro with gold plated paint with cost same as ferrari.

Re: HELP! Is This Reliable???

max budget 3 times of min budget, what kind of price range is that lol..
anyway, my vote goes for Cooler master HAF 912 windowed (~6k) or the Corsair Obsidian Series 450D (9k)
Both are mid towers tho..

i was looking to spend 4-8000 on the cabinet BUT if any decent case with bells and wistles then 12k
if this looks odd then yes this is,BTW i plan to use a gtx670 which i purchased from a friend(6 moths old)

The corsair Obsidian Series 450D is one of the best looking cabinets IMO, it has all the features you will need in a gaming cabinet..
