Himanshu, there is one cabinet in zebronics with 220mm huge side fan. Check for this and add few more fans to this cabinet and you are good to go. :)

They are decent. You can't compare it with CM 690. It costs less than 2k I think. BTW, CM 690 will become a worthy buy if you put

1 fan at top and one at the bottom and 1 one left side. Then you will find total reduction in temperatures.

Himanshu, there is one cabinet in zebronics with 220mm huge side fan.

Its the Zebronics Rage. I say go for CM. If budget permits, then go for CM-690(with the transparent side panel)! Else u cn have a look @ The CM Elite 334 @ 1.8-2.2k. For the CPU cooler(if u happen to decide that u wanna buy it), u cn have a look @ the OCZ Vendetta 2 for Rs.2.5k. Another good cooler is the Arctic Freezer 7 Pro for arnd 1.6k(not sure, plz verify).

Whichever CM cabby u buy, if u install fans(80/120mm) @ the right places, the overall airflow will be excellent.

Also you can buy CPU Coolers from CM like Hyper212. Sunbeamtech's Core contact freezer 120mm.
