Need advice for Chasis

Expectations:
1. MID Tower.
2. Nice Cooling ( If Extra Fans can be bought, that is ok but provisions must be there.)
3. Noise level should be low ( As low as possible)
4. No LED's or eye candy. ( With No lights it should be as dark as possible)
5. Decent Cable management and dust proof.
6 BUDGET - 3000 INR ( Can go for 250 or 300 more if its that good)

Current Components:
1. Corsair 650TX v2
2. HD 4670 with stock cooler
3. Intel motherboard / processor with stock cooler.
4. 2 Hard disks (Sata)
5. One DVD writer

I am looking at NZXT Gamma, but i dont know how noise proof it would be if i fit it with cooling fans and also the cable management. Is there any other cabinet that exceeds my expectations on that budget ?
Awaiting suggestion.
 
Re: Need advice for Chasis

Ok, lets even say am going till 4K max. How far superior will the chasis be compared to gamma ?
Is USB 3.0 port necesssary and all..
 
Re: Need advice for Chasis

Dude First usb 3 is not required until you got high end motherboard..more over there are also front panel usb 3 connector available so dont worry about that you can get it when you need.. if you have 3-4k then get nzxt guardian..

The Guardian comes with 3 fans (vfm) and a temp lcd. Better looks than gamma and you get better cooling and airflow with lot of cable management..see the review here

New guardian has bottom mounted psu dude..
 
Re: Need advice for Chasis

See i will be upgrading to a Z68 motherboard in 2 months. Anyways, saw the guardian and its very flashy.
I dont want any LED's and eye candy. I want it as simple as possible since am looking for Cooling / less noisy and performance oriented chasis.
Am sorry to bug, is there any chasis that fits the bill ? I have gone through net so many times and i either end up accepting that gamma is good or long for carbide 400 R. But the carbide is 5000 INR and thats very costly for me. I live in chennai and i might have to buy in ritchie street only if buying online is not a good option.
 
Re: Need advice for Chasis

^^ The NZXT Gamma OR Cooler Master 690 fit your bill perfectly.

Don't be put down with the diminutive looks of the Gamma, under that tiny facade lay a plethora of options to route cables, enough clearance to put third part HSF packages till the Noctua NH-U12P SE2 also it is the lightest cabinet of all that are mentioned [not to mention cheapest] + all black interiors with water cooling holes pre-drilled and grommet-ted -- NZXT Gamma Review - Overclockers Club / NZXT Gamma Case Review | Hardware Secrets.

The CM 690 is an older model [c. 2007] but still can hold its own in the market with plenty of space [literally], lot of fans that can be outfitted and great design as far as mesh is concerned and bezel are concerned, only con is that it cannot accommodate graphics card the size of the HD 5970 -- NZXT Gamma Case Review | Hardware Secrets.

Hope this helps, Sire. Cheers!! Merry X-Mas

Gamma is way too good for that price tag dude.. You can also consider thermaltake ms-I but cable management is not great..

The NZXT Gamma is well known for this, so don't say that it is too good a cabinet for OP's budget. A clean assembly [and wire work] will lead to better air-flow and lower temperatures.
