Re: Zebronic Cabinates for HTPC?

I bought a Circle one, has a mini 250/300W PSU. Cost me 1600. Looks great. Plus u can put any background that you want, on the door. The acrylic is snap on off. The power LED can also be easily turned off.

Cant find the Circle website, else would have told you which one.

Thanks friends,I received email from zebronics & they said Yuvraj can accept all size cards.they will check Pluto & inform me later.
I will try to confirm abt power supply.

Circle cabinets are good for their price. Here is the web address circleMain
 
Cooler Master Elite 360 is also an option

It can accomodate all size cards(graphic cards upto 9"), standard power supplies and even ATX mobo and is still quite small

Cooling is pretty decent as well,

can be placed both horizontally as well as vertically (the cooler master logo rotates :p)

Cost bout Rs.1600

I got it for my HTPC :)
 
Horizontal cases are not in..... :p

Get the CM Elite 310 if u want something solid in a small budget.

Or if u want a Case + PSU cheap bundle, get the Circle 512.

Thats good,but it is heighted with full ATX support.I need smaller with 4 card micro ATX.
 
The elite 360 is pretty small, i think similar height to the other cabinets mentioned in this thread, if not smaller. The reason it is able to fit an atx mobo is because of its unique layout, the psu is attached in the front this also helps the cooling. Chk out the link product page or reviews for

more info
 
Thanks boomshanker,

I checked the link & its dimensions are-
(W) 5.8 x (H) 14.2 x (D) 17.3 inch

Only Depth may be issue as there may not be enough back space on my shelf.Still I may work out something.
Zebronics has little lesser depth.
Is cooling enough with CM 360?
Can I fit VIP 400w regular SMPS?
 
My HTPC config:

x2 555 BE (4 cores unlocked@ stock)with NH-C12P SE14

ASUS M4A785D-M PRO

Sapphire 4850

Asus Xonar Hdav

Corsair VX450

temps after stress testing with 4hrs of Prime95 :

CPU:50

mobo:38

system:36

So as you can see the cooling is pretty good
