Thank you for your suggestion.
Don't you think it looks ugly from front and also seems like a full tower cabinet.

I think *www.bitfenix.com/global/en/products/chassis/merc-alpha will fit into my choice.
Any suggestions or options you have like this?

Is it available in CTC, Hyderabad ? What will the cost ?

But the company authorised reseller in CTC, Hyderabad "Bhumika Computers" is asking for Rs 3400/- !!! where as online price is approx Rs 2800/- .

I do not understand how these authorized re-sellers are asking for more money instead of less !!!

BitFenix.com
no site will ship bitfenix merc at 2800.the cheapest one with free shipping from an authorized bitfenix reseller is this:
Overclockers Zone
usb 3.0 version costs 3750 & maybe that's the version you are getting:
