PC Peripherals Budget: 5K. Mid-Tower Cabinet suggestion.

[Bandu]

Guys,

On the lookout for a mid-tower case which should be <= 475 mm (about 18.8") in height. Budget: up to 5K. At least one USB3 front port is a must. Should be dust friendly. Please provide some suggestions.

I like the Cooler Master K380 (K380 - Cooler Master - Leading Provider of Computer Case, Cooler, Power Supply, Laptop Cooling, Gaming Peripherals) design, but could not find any decent reviews online. Please share your thoughts if you are using this cabinet.

TIA,
Bandu.

^^ @Bandu Why don't you look at the following options --

• Corsair Carbide 400R ~5500/-
• Corsair Carbide 300R ~4500/-

Finding appropriate and accurate reviews for the K380 might be hard considering its recent release. If I find anything, will tip you off.

Hope this helps, Cheerio!

Thanks, ALPHA17. Although 400R is > 475 cms in height, I do have the Corsair Carbide 300R in mind (among others). I am going to wait for about a week more at max and then make my decision. Thanks for the info that K380 is a new entrant in the market, and knowing Cooler Master, I think it would still be a safe bet to go for the K380. I might buy it. I've already written to a few distributors in Mumbai asking about the availability.

The Cooler Master will be available but I would rather go for the Carbide series cabinets because they are proven if not 100% head and shoulders above the K380 (until proven).
