Zebronics Bizli is way better than any iBall/Frontech cabby. I'd recommend it. But do keep in mind that if you install a long GPU(8800GTX/9800GTX/HD4870/HD5800) then you can install only 2(3 @ max) hdd instead of full 4.

CM Elite 335@ 2.1k (Screwless almost) or CM Elite 330 @ 1.8k (Screwful)

@Vicky:
Such a nice system you got...put it in a nice cabinet. The one Krow has suggested is really good, and not that expensive too..!

[royal]

Yes, go for a CM Elite...you wont regret it

[channabasanna]

+1 for the Cooler Master Elite series. No screws needed at all. Also the ventilation is very good in its range.

[Krow]

Elite 330 has screws, 334/335 does not.

Hey Krow, we have something in common ...

I also own a CM 334 with VX450

The C2D looks like junk when compared with i5.

@ OP I dont think you should put i5 in a Zebby bijli! Cmon man, order CM Elite 334/5 online man!

Hey, its not the C2Q I compared with.

@ krow,asigh

guys what advantages does the cm 334/335 have over the zebby bizli apart from being manufactured by a superior brand?

Are there any strong reasons to justify?

Finally is cm334 worth the order over zebby bizli as the price diff. is not that much?

I guess you guys are talking about superior air flow.

[asingh]

More space
Better cable management
More fans
Better material
Better looks

[Krow]

CM Elite 334 has screwless HDD and DVD writer slots. It can house the TRUE too if you remove the side air duct, which is useless IMO. If you touch a Zebby Bijli and then the CM Elite 334, you will know the difference between the two. It is totally worth its price tag, considering the ease of installation it provides.

[Revolution]

How about Cooler Master Elite 310 ?

[asingh]

Its good too.

[Krow]

But it is not screwless. The screwless HDD/DVD RW bays are the reason I prefer the 334/335 over 310.

[asingh]

^^ Honestly, I never trust the screwless design for any moving part. HDDs have the moving spindle, and GPUs have the moving fan, the Optical drive has the moving rotator.

I still used screws to secure the HDD and GPU and Optical drive to the brackets, even when my CM690 is screwless. It keeps the part firm and secure. I sleep in peace.

Though I like the bracket system. The HDD can be easily removed and installed from the chassis. Almost hot swappable.

[Krow]

^The brackets are pretty good, my HDD's don't move and neither does my DVD writer. I prefer it because of the ease of installation and I have this stupid habit of losing screws.

hi guys

Finally have decided to go for cm elite 335 & have placed my order online.

hope its a good decision.

Again thanks everyone for all your valuable feedback.

Cheers......
