Planning to buy a PC case which supports ATX motherboard.
Configuration of the PC is as follows:
MoBO: AsRock Z97 Extreme 4
intel 4790k
Hyperx 16GB
Seasonic S12G
WD blue
Samsung 850 Pro 256
Cooling: Not planned yet, should support both air and liquid cooling options.
The case should look professional, not interested in those awkward looking gaming cases. Budget upto 7000

CM K380 is very gamer oriented and not at all professional looking. I have it :(

NZXT CABINET SOURCE 530 BLACK (CA-SO530-M1 - CA-SO530-M1 - 15671011695 )
all of the above support liquid cooling and are professional looking (in my opinion :p)

Brought Corsair 500R Black for 7900 (including shipping) from MD Computers before [MENTION=291558]saifraza.khan.1[/MENTION] 's recommendation of NZXT CABINET SOURCE 530 BLACK. NZXT provides better price fitting all my needs.
I wish I have waited for another day before ordering 500R.

nevermind,these things happen,but the regret is real,there's not much difference between the two expect for that the 530 is more liquid cooling ready and some little extra features

Well one advantage of 500R is it comes preloaded with 200mm fan in side panel. As the item has been shipped, nothing can be done.
