There are so many similar topics asking for cabinet with the same price range but I started this topic because...

1. No dust accumulation
2. Cooling

These two things what I seek. Cabinet's look doesn't matter much to me. There are so much dust around my place and also its very hot out here.. I will buy 1 cooler and fans if need later but right now I need only a cabinet.

Any suggestion would be much appreciated. Thanks :wink:

Look for Bitfenix Merc Alpha or spend Rs 500 more and get the CM K380. For all around dust filters you will have to spend over Rs 8 K on the cabinet.

I like CM K380 but 8k for dust filter is too much for me.. and Dust filtering is the main priority. So now its a dilemma :(

Get the K380 for Rs3500 and make some dust filters or order them online from aliexpress or ebay.

i think people should stop recommending gamma here unless they have physical confirmation of its availability(& not just "in stock" tag on shopping sites,this is India not USA).

[MENTION=159125]shivakanth.sujit[/MENTION],i wasn't referring to you but in general as i have seen most people recommending Gamma here first.i know it is a good cabinet but it is more than 4 years old & people in India should not expect its continued availability especially when most people here don't even buy well known branded cabinets like coolermaster.as of now bitfenix merc alpha & coolermaster elite 311 should be the minimum/first recommended options.
