ok. so as I can see that Fractal Design will cost you above 14k or so. do consider the Corsair 5000D or 5000X. good looks and good airflow and better cable management. counting me one more person on the forum have the corsair 5000 series. I have 5000D and the other memeber have 5000X.
Will definately keep that case in mind. Thanks for the recommendation. There are a couple of other cases that have caught my eye such as the Phanteks Enthoo series. But the case is probably the last thing i will purchase. And considering the case is going to outlast every component i will be loading into it, i'll probably splurge a bit on it later.
Why aren't be quiet cases available here when their coolers are..
Be Quiet does not have a dealer here in India from what I understand after speaking to their representative via emails as yet. The few coolers that did come in were imported by
Tech 91 but they have stopped importing them over a year ago. The DRP4 along with some Be Quiet case fans are also things i am bringing in via Rahul. Just waiting for one the sales to start in the US which should happen on Prime in June or the 4of July sales.
As you 've already mentioned your preference but If you can slightly adjust with the aesthetics. ?
+1 for NH-D15 Chromax.
* providing 6yrs warranty instead of 3yrs for DRP 4
* 150mm fans provided instead of 135mm with DRP4, also compatible with 140mm standard fans
* enthusiast-grade NT-H1 thermal compound is also provided with this item.
Noctua is a premium brand and you can't go wrong with it.
I can understand that aesthetic mind set of yours & I won't insist but think once more before you finalize.
Fractal Design define 7 is another good option to be considered.
I know mate, a lot of people did suggest i go in for the NH-D15. Its a good looking cooler and its specs are awesome. And to be fair it would make more sense financially to go in for it. The DRP4 is going to cost 1.5k to 2.5k more to import than NH-D15. Also its not as if I am going to be staring at the box rather than the screen, if you get my drift. So technically aesthetics should not really matter in the long run. But I figure, if your gonna splurge on a new system anyway, why not do it with something you really want and not really need or make do with,
BTW thanks for the suggestion ... appreciate it.
