CM Elite 430 is bad for cable management.

Elite 430 is your best bet, will cost you Rs. 2800 but very worthy. It has good cable management unlike what the guy above mentioned.

@mailme.manju, if you looking for good cable management don't buy cm 430.
cable management is really poor with this cabinet.

CM Elite 430 is your best bet. For a showy cabby, you should look in i-Ball / Zebronics range but they stand nowhere close to CM in terms of cooling and installation.
I'd suggest to extend your budget, if you want a cabby with all the features you've mentioned!

I am leaning towards gamma now.... As i said i can install the fans from my bijli cabby for now and in a month i'll get extra fans.... Is gamma better than CM 430?

honestly speaking, its cable management is the best u can get in OP's budget. u cant expect it to be on-par with 5k cabinets, can u?

now planning on getting 3*120mm led 90CFM fans...
my doubt is can i place the fans in foll. way?
Intake,
front 1*120mm led 42CFM,
side 2*120mm norm 42CFM
Exhaust,
rear 1*120mm led 90CFM,
top 2*120mm led 90CFM
thus maintaining a negative pressure inside the cabby....
Is it ok?
