PC Peripherals Cabinet Dilemma

[ALPHA17]

thinking of "budget be damned" and going for the CM 690 II Plus

Is the Cooler Master USP-100 not available or is it turning out to be too expensive?

CM Elite 370 looks perfect...thanks VIP

Will making the purchase next week.

[EDIT]

Cable management seems restricted...anyone got this case?

 

[Sub]

Try out the Elite 430. It's been the de-facto standard for non-Gamma fans.

 

[MegaMind]

Comparing Gamma to CM Elite 370 features : to say the truth, 370 s**ks...

 

[touzeen]

thinking abt it the 370 is gonna become a fingerprint magnet in a day and the 5 1/2 bays arnt ventilated and cable management seems limited.

no gamma plz

I think CM 430 w/trans side is wat u are lookin for..

 

[touzeen]

since iv bugged you people enough thought i should share my current cabinet pic for some laughs

ripped off the bezel,fixed a 120mm to the HDD bays with wire,routed cables around the HDD so i hav less clutter around the mobo

got 2 120s on the side panel,one in the back.

^^ HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

Go get yourself a Cooler Master eLite 430 but be warned the top left corner of the motherboard bay is horribly congested (something it shares in its DNA from my Cooler Master Scout :bleh.

The elite 430 is for 2.7k(incl shipping to my place) from SMC. Any better deals online for the same?

 

[ALPHA17]

^^ Check for the NZXT Gamma from The IT Depot, Chennai. http://www.theitdepot.com/details-NZXT+Gamma+Black+Steel+Mid-Tower+ATX+Cabinet_C5P7108.html

 

[touzeen]

the Gamma has awesome cable management potential,i managed some nice results in my first try itself(see cable management thread for pics) the cm 430 just has come clips and no cut outs so i doubt ull get good results...

the case is 2070 at itdepot

 

[chiron]

I don't care about cable management and was not planning on getting the gamma; ended up getting the cm430 window version from smc.

 

[rahulyo]

Take NZXT Gamma or increase ur budget n take CM 690 .

 

[touzeen]

Already got the Gamma and loving it.

Close thread plz.
