[QUOTE="ALPHA17, post: 1653547, member: 33927"] [I][B][URL="http://www.techenclave.com/member.php?u=20321"]cool_cat[/URL][/B][/I], there are a few reasons why the industry has mobilized post-haste to bottom mounted SMPS, these are -- [LIST] [*]the 120mm intake fans are always bottom mounted [occasionally top mounted], because no other face of the SMPS offers the surface area to place such a huge fan. [*]the intake needs a point from where it can suck in fresh air [which it exhausts via the honeycomb rear grill], all this while keeping the fan noise as low as possible. [*]If you will notice all this spells out [I]bottom mounted SMPS[/I] because -- [/LIST] [LIST=1] [*]larger fan run slower to push the same amount of air a small fan does [albeit at the cost of more noise and lower efficiency]. [*]bottom mounted design allows the companies to give maximum amount of cut-outs in and around the motherboard tray for improved cable-routing. [*]the bottom mounted fans can suck in fresh air with the least amount of resistance. Also this allows the SMPS to be isolated from the rest of the systems airflow. [/LIST] I don't take sides on the coolness factor as both the designs have there respective advantages and accompanying disadvantages. But, for now the industry standard is bottom mounting and that is where I throw my lot in. No you cannot customise that in cabinets like the Cooler Master eLite 430 series / NZXT Gamma, they are strictly bottom mounting SMPS. Hope this helps , Cheerio!![COLOR=Silver] [/COLOR] I think in the light of your situation the best cabinet you can buy is the [URL="http://www.coolermaster.in/product.php?product_id=6654"]Cooler Master eLite 430 Black[/URL] [it comes with all black painted interiors] ~2800/-. You can add 2 x120mm, [URL="http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=4375"]Cooler Master SicleFlow[/URL]'s to improve the airflow in your cabinet. This should be enough for most configurations [unless you plan to run a pair of GTX 670 in SLi]. None of the Thermaltake cabinets you have mentioned have this feature. So give them a pass, also I am not aware of who is responsible for their after sales in India. [/QUOTE]
