Cabinet suggestions needed

rahulbeniwal · Jun 7, 2014

Hey
I have an original HP cabinet don't know the model number but I found out that it won't support a full form ATX. Going for a cooler master elite 431 since my budget is tight for the cabinet. If you have any better options please let me know.
Elite 431 has one 120mm fan in the front I have seen models with 2 fans as well.

Suggest if u know any better option in the same price range.

What I will install in that :
Core i5 4670
Full form ATX motherboard (not decided yet)
8×2 corsair vengeance
R9 270X 2GB ( may be one more after an year)
2 HDD (500GB+1TB)
1SSD (240GB)
Corsair vs650
1 DVD writer drive

Budget is tight just for the cabinet but I really need good cooling

Just looking around, here are some:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811144286
One 120mm fan is preinstalled. Optional fans include one 200mm or two 120mm side fans, one 120mm and two 140mm front fans, one 120mm/140mm rear fan, two 120mm/140mm top fans and one 120mm bottom fan.
Support for water cooling.

If you're lazy:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153
1 x Front 120mm Blue LED Fan
1 x Rear 120mm Fan
1 x Top 140mm Fan
All installed
2 side fans can be installed.

Almost all of these cases are gonna be the same size because you are in the Mid ATX category. The only time I had an issue with these cases is when installing a GTX 760 and it was simply too long to fit (it came off the motherboard) so I had to cut away part of the HDD bay. Look at the measurements of the card and the MB, if the card fits on the MB you shouldn't have an issue (they rarely will be tall enough to hit the side of the case).

Full towers would be ideal but they are in the $80+ range.
