PC Peripherals HTPC cases in India

[armaan]

from what i know only antec provides two htpc cases here both are ridiculously expensive .dont you get cabinets from silverstone or lianli here in india at reasonable prices.
im just an 18 year old newbie, could someone provide his insights.

No, none of the brands are available locally as of now. Even antec HTPC casings are not in stock.

AFAIK, lian li and silverstone casings cost upwards of $100, direct conversion is Rs. 5000, I don't they will be available in a cheaper price than Antec.

Prime ABGB has been retailing Silverstone HTPC cases since a while. Yeah it does cost a bomb though!

Im also deperate for a HTPC or arleast a mini ITX case for a low power rig. Saw the Zebronics thambi and it was awfull. There just does not seem to be any choices.

Im actually considering asking KMD for a quote on a HTPC case from the USA.

^Quite a few from Silverstone, ex-Prime which're worth considering:

Silverstone Sugo Series SG02B-F-SG02W-F

Silver Stone LC 17B0220 HTPC Cabinet

SilverStone LC10BE 00020 HTPC

Silverstone LC17S0220 Black-Silver

I check out Panache last week and their shipping rates are a ripoff. A CF card costs Rs 500+ to ship. I immediately closed the site and stopped looking !

that looks decent,but its no good for HTPC if its used for playing HD videos.

I signed up on their site, added Flex 0204 ITX cabinet and proceeded to checkout. The shipping charge was shown as INR 260 and showed taht it would be shipped by air by a leading courier service(don't know which one :huh
