hi friends i'm assembling a pc 4 first time... i have read a lot of posts regarding cabinets and pc building..they were very informative but i'm still confused. i have already decided my config... but nt able to decide a cabinet :S

my budget is around 10 K (including psu)

what do you think abt Iball rider (3.5K, supports liquid cooling) and Cooler Master Gladiator 600 (4.5 k, without support for liquid cooling)

iBall

I intend to use my pc atleast 6-8 hrs a day continuosly, so i would probably need good cooling.

my planned rig:

intel i5 750 (2.66 ghz)

intel dp 55 wg mobo

4 gb ddr3 ram(corsair)

Asus EAH5570-DI-1GD3-LP 1GB DDR3 Graphics Card

500 gb seagate hdd

corsair vx 450/550 psu

samsung 22 inch monitor

i wouldnt be overclocking my system

pls help

EOL IINM. The P183 has replaced it. :)

Iball enclosures have pretty cheap builds with sharp edges around, riveted joints sometimes popping out after a brief period of usage, rustable interiors due to the low grade of metal used (not sure if it is even SECC). Full towers wii not fit your budget since you will need a power supply as well. Take a look at Antec 300 and the Lian Li Lancool line-up.
 
@buddingwhizkid cm 690 II is awesome loved it. thx bro....
it seems to have everythng i need....
n wt about psu should i go for corsair vx 450 or 550 ?
 
Go for CM Gladiator 600..... you won't need liquid cooling as you said you won't overclock; Air-cooling would be sufficient. I am using the same & it's soooooo value for money. Antec 300 or NZXT M59 were other chassis on my list which would cost a bit more. I got my Gladiator 600 with side window (with fan ventilation on side) at 3.85k. I love it.

Also, you can go for VX550 keeping future upgradation on mind but a VX450 can easily handle the Spec

welcome mate :)

get vx 450 for 5570,

and with the money saved get an h50 cooler !

or get hyper 212+ if budget constraints !

dont settle for stock cooler !

i5's stock cooler is pure crap !!!
 
nice :) !

you can overclock it to 3.6ghz easily with hyper 212+ !! :)

just get a good thermal paste too ! :)

and gimmi rep if you want :)

click on the star on top right of my post :)
 
Asking for reps is not a good practice and is neither encouraged nor it goes unnoticed here at TE.

Pls refrain.

It ll be nice if people would keep posting the tentative pricing of the cabinets as well.

Will prove helpful to others as well who might be looking for similar solutions.

For the cabby suggestions prices all from bangalore ( tax inclusive ):

Cooler Master Gladiator ~ 3.5 K
Cooler Master 690 ~ 4 K
Cooler Master HAF 922 ~ 7K
NZXT Gamma ~ 2.5K
NZXT Tempest ~ 5K

All are without PSUs so for PSU
Corsair VX 450 ~ 3.5K
Corsair VX 550 ~ 5K

Hope this helped :)
 
HAF 922 is actually around 6200 in sp road...if u can bargain... its a helluva cabinet for tht price and makes everything else look tiny... if u can afford it u wont be disappointed...
