Nzxt Gamma will be better choice under Rs 2K. or if looks matter to you then CM Elite 430.
If you want to know more about Nzxt Gamma.
Look this thread by Megamind
@sanoob.tv, If u wont be installing GPUs longer than 10.5", NZXT Gamma is the ideal choice even under 3K...
Also Look For Upcoming NZXT Source Elite 210.
NZXT Source 210 Elite Mid Tower Cabinet
Source Elite 210 looses to Gamma in cable management, but has front USB 3.0...
^^Thats the +point of that case.Front usb3 is must for these days.
Front USB3. Hmm...I haven;t got any USB 3.0 devices. How many have you guys got?
If none then a rear one shouldn't really bother.
^^But your tempest evo looks super man.I just loved its transparent side panel.Super chassis.
Probably for those you haven't got Front USB3.0, try getting a male to female USB extension [INR 150 max], that will fix the case. I have done it for my motherboard & performance is quite noticeable between 2.0 & 3.0
k im extending my budget to 4k-5k
get a gamma and save up the rest of the money for any other upgrades
d3p5kor, ya i was thinking the same.. but hav u tested the speeds directly on mobo n with these extensions?
^^ dude, i have transferred a big *.iso file to pendrive to USB2.0 & then tried the same with USB3.0.....Observed a significant amount of speed difference between the transfer rates & timings.
thats it...BTW to be clear i have two USB 3.0 slots on the back panel of the mobo. So i order to use them i have used these extensions...
^^Ya i know the speed diff... But wat i asked was, speeds directly on mobo 3.0 n with these extensions on 3.0?
Coz these extensions may lower the transfer rates..
Its a beast for sure.
, Ur rig needs attention on the PSU part, better fix that saving the 3K..
