hey guys,
as you guys know i recently upgraded my pc (with the help of your valuable suggesgtions ofcourse:smile:) .. now i want a case under 2.5k cos my present case is not doing a good job for cooling .. the temps on my processor are hitting 70+ under load. and 55 idle.

so wot i need is a cool case .. but it needs to be under 2.5k.. i dont mind if it aint branded. all i want is good airflow, and i think there should be some desi cases around that achive a good airflow? while remainin in budget.

Bijli, its flashy and has lots of fans. I would opt for CM 690 @ 4k street price.
Or buy a used 690 @ 2.5~3.5k

Zebby Antibiotic hav gud cooling for 2k...without PSU 1.5-1.6k.

Otherwise get CM 334 and buy extra CM fans too.

lookup on zebronics.con.tw site
u can find some cabbys with a large 240mm LED fan on its sidepanel. Its sure to be silent and yet yields better than even 4*80mm fans.
it wont cost u more than 1.6k

Zebronics Rage is the one I think with 220mm side fan.

^^ Elite 334 without PSU costs only 1.9k. I think Elite 330 with 390W OEM PSU costs 1.9k....btw its only 1.6k quoted everywhere, dunno whether this price is with PSU or without PSU.

yes it is rage with the big fan, other than that zebronics reaper or CM Elite 330 or NZXT Alpha Black
reaper comes with 80 mm fans in side with fibre glass.
NZXT too has fibre glass panel side but with 120mm fan,( you can also do a lil cut(if you want to) and another 120mm fan in the side to give more cooling)
CM Elite has 120mm fan in rear and can add one more in front 120mm
rage has has 120mm fan in the back also I think so it has better cooling IMO

^^if u do dat on Elite 33x series with a transparent sidepanel, it will look better. btw I don't know the price of CM transparent sidepanel, wont cost much I think.
