the ones from kobian and intex are good enough

if u have the bucks go for a gamin cabinet from antec

and all specs should be inspected manually
coz model numbers are not readily available

egg.jhakly.. iball sucks bigtime. antec is best ( a bit pricy tho) for low price VIP is most appropriate.

so ?
ur entire system performance depends on the cabinet and its cooling capapbilities
why would u wanna buy a cheap and bad quality one ?

cabinet buys are VERY underestimated ...
plz guys .. take care of ur components get a decent cabinet
spend a few hundreds more and get a good looking and good quality cabinet .. its one of those one time buys .. like ur monitor ( tho not that expensive ) that u dont change for a long time

the VIP 1122 cabinet is a great buy

it costs about 1,200- 1,400
transparent side panel with a cool led fan...atx and all that is req.

it looks good and can give its antec counterparts a run for their money.

i am using it for 8 months with a p4 3.0... no over heating issues...

Hey, how many CD drive bays does 1122 have?
And does the price include SMPS? i don't think so. Which one should be installed? 400 W

VIP 1122 costs 1 k to max 1150 without psu

VIP G 100 costs 2.1k to 2.3 k without psu ..

VIP G 200 costs 2.5 k without psu

VIP G 300 costs 3 k without psu

all are mumbai prices ..

now u want transparent cabinet then go for G 100 its damn good .. I am using 1122 which is very good too ..just that G 100 is taller , and much broader than 1122 .. and if u want a very good quality cabinet without transparent side window then .. G 300 suits the bill ..
