1. Cooler Master K380 USB 3.0 with Side Window 3.5K
2. Bitfenix Merc Alpha USB 3.0 Variant 3.5K

> no to ELITE series(poor airflow, zero cable management)
1. Good option price is around 3k not 3.5k
2. dust magnet avoid it.

Airflow:- Both are almost similar but beto evo wins due to front mash...
cable management:- both are same
3:- both are same

choose one which has better looks ACCOTDING TO YOU.
My vote goes to gamma

you mean the rear expansion card slot's cover is not present?

Yups... Cover brackets...!!!.

The brackets that were in the Cabinet was a part of the cabinet chasis... i have to twist and break it... similar to the cheap quality cabinet... my older ibal cabinet had this....

this was the most annoying thing in CM K380... dint expect this !!
