At this price, only 400r comes to mind!

The only cabby that fill your requirements at this budget is 400r.
After that the 500r, phantom 410 and the 690 2 adv. Are better alternatives.

well, the CM Elite311 is a good cabby on the lower price side.
its got cable mgmt, bottom psu, intake&exhaust fan + mounting places, but it aint tool-less

yes go with 400R.using it from last 7-8 months.its awesome.only drawback is its plain look(opinion changes from person to person).its a great pleasure to work with this cabby because of its huge work space inside the cabby.

You can also take a look at Corsair 300R which is available for 4.2k in local shops along with side window panel and good cable management and dust filters in front/bottom as well.

You can also look at the Tempest EVO if Phantom 410 is out of your budget........

Sorry but my glossary seems to be kinda weak. So what does gourmet in the pc world mean ?
I only know of it as a food item.

Its "GROMMET" actually but never mind as long as the meaning is understandable
