Cooler Master Elite 330 is a good cabby, iBall doesn't come close.

Forget about iball. my pick would be CM Elite 330 or 331 (without PSU) and Zebronics Reaper or Bijli (without PSU).

As all have recommended.

Depends on user. Transparent ones looks better with LED Fans but are more susceptible for cracking / breaking. + On Metal ones you can Mod better/

Default Re: Good Cabinet around 2k or less

Update: They didnt had the 330 so I Bought 335 instead.

Switching from a El Cheapo Circle Cabinet (Single 80mm fan) + Circle PSU(400w) to CM Elite 335( CM 120mm - 2 fans) + Cosair VX450W was a very good experience.

Costed me 4 +2.3 = 6.3 k. Some might say thats a lot for these two most ignored and important parts but it was well worth it.

My components are feeling like moved from a Dharavi Hut to a Full Duplex hehe.

Very very roomy cabinet. Tool free. Can fit 5 HDDs with ease. Has washable air filter and sponge in front so not much dust can go in the cabinet. Some sharp edges in rear but for its price this is gold.

GTS 250 fitted easy with almost a couple inch to spare so I guess I wont be needing to change the cabinet or power supply for any single gfx out there

This is made of 1mm thk steel. Rock Sturdy. To compare we use 0.8mm thk sheet in Car panel mfg. (I am a Manager (Design) in TATA Engg Research Center. No risk of dents or bents.

ps: CM LED Fans 120 mm Rock ass.

I wish i could post some Pics right away but wife is gone with my Cam so will post later.

<--- Happy
