Cabinets

Could someone suggest a good high-end cabinet...
I was looking at the Antec 900 but the problem is that it will collect too much dust inside since theres a lot of mesh. Same thing with the CM Stacker. I also dont want to go for the Antec P182 cos it doesnt have a side panel.

Are Gigabyte cases available in India?

Dont think GB has cases in India...

Why dont u go fer the mid-end models such as chieftec or coolermaster cavalier??

I've a cm cavalier w/o dial... Has a side panel n doesn cost a hand n leg... 4k max...

Well, P900 is way too expensive and an investment like dat isn really necessary... Unless u're bulidin d hottest system on earth..(I mean hot in all aspects!!! )

Nah I checked them out but didnt like them. For me 120mm fans are a must and those have a 120mm fan only at the rear of the case. And yes, I am planning on building a really HOT system

Is there any good ATX cabinet for 2K with frontside USB ports? I just want a well ventilated cabinet without any glowing fans or tubelights. Is it safe to use the SMPS included with the cabinet? I'm planning on getting a XFX 8600GT GPU.

All Cabinets have front USB and Sound these days. Most come with 450W SMPS too.

Umax and iBall have some nice looking cabinets

Well i also have a Cavalier and i am pretty happy with its performance.Although there is only 1 120mm fan in the back but that do it all!!
If u really need some more cooling then there are many separate fans available from Antec, Cooler Master etc. which u can use because there is a plenty of space into it.
There is also cabinet "Chieftec" well they say its also pretty good & i 've seen it and it was prettier than my Cavalier.

Thanks, but wiil a 400W SMPS be enough? My config is this:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+, AM2 Socket, Brisbane
ASUS M2N4-SLI Motherboard
Kingston DDR2 1 GB 667 Mhz RAM X 2
Seagate SATA2 250 GB Barracuda 7200 RPM Hard Disk
XFX 8600GT 256MB GPU
Samsung DVD +/- RW Dual Layer

And is it posibble to have two cards in SLI with the PSU that comes with the cabinet?

OK, how about without SLI? Would the el-cheapo PSU be enough for my config? I'm not 100% sure of using 2 cards in SLI..just wanted to know. If I do use SLI, I will spend extra money on a good PSU.

better to hv a 500 watt non sli psu frm coolermaster.
