Ok.
My config:
core i3 540
Asus uAtx LGA1156 mobo
2 Sticks of DDR3
Corsair Vx450
HIS HD 5770
1 X 500 GB HDD
1 X DVD Writer

Now i need a slim tower/mini tower to pack these all up in a vertical manner.I personally do not like shoebox , cube designs.

Not to mention some cable management/hiding :p .And decent if not great air flow.
I know what i am going to ask may seem far fetched,but has anybody any leads ?
And yes i do not ant to spend a fortune on it

After reading some reviews, it seems that the vulcan is to be a "last" option. Saw some from silverstone but astronomical pricing.Hows Lian Li?

not many Lian Li cases available but prime has this one on sale and its for 4.5k
i actually its quit good in black here have a look *www.lian-li.com/v2/en/product/product06.php?pr_index=319&cl_index=1&sc_index=25&ss_index=63&g=spec

and if u need more compact one go for Silverstone SG05 but it not available in India :( and even ifu get it in decent price the PSU ,motherboards and the coolers all need to be ultra compact check the recommendations tab there
