I need a new cabinet. Budget around 5k. Need good air flow and sturdy build.

I have my eyes on these

Corsair 400R,

LianLi Lancool K62

NZXT Tempest 410

*theitwares.com/image/cache/data/product/main/NZXT_Tempest_410-340x340.jpg

Which among these is good or are there any better than these? Can flex budget by about 1k if more suitable one suggested.

PS : I plan to buy from theitwares.com since they are based in Mumbai therefore can get it here in Pune quicker. Unless you can suggest any better place to purchase from.

Looks like it will be the 400R then. Thanks Myth for pointing out HavokNation, PM'd them about the availability.

Don't forget to get a good TIM and decent fans for even better cooling.

That won't be necessary now. My config is Core 2 Duo E8400, Asus P5GC-MX/1333, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 and Sapphire Radeon HD4850. This cabinet is another stepping stone in a complete system upgrade which started when I purchased my Corsair TX-650 PSU.

Sturdy build????? K62 hands down. Then 410 and then 400R.

But overall, considering features and all that, 400R. But people have been saying that they are getting some rusting on the frontopanel grill.

I just realized. How are the dust filters on the 400R? I need cleanable dust filters.
