buying a new pc cabinet below budget 5000

salilskp · Oct 19, 2015

Hello everyone..I am from India. I want to buy a new cabinet for my pc for better airflow to my gpu. I have selected antec gx505 initially but sadly its not in market now. I have some selections from cooler master such as cooler master N400 and K380. Please help me and suggest me some good cabinets under my budget

you are selecting the good ones of course.

consider "corsair spec" series as well, I was surprised how much ventilation it can provide

Half Life :

thanks, but I saw corsair ones too all are over my budget.

What about the Carbide Series 200R and 300R? The 200R was less than INR5000, last I checked on Amazon. The 300R is in stock on theitdepot, at 5265.

thanks for the shopping site. yes i'll look in there too. BTW where is the option to put my local pin-code to know if its going to be delivered or not..

cst1992 · Oct 20, 2015

Check when you add to cart.
And remove the pin code. No need to share it.

Bro are u from India ? If u are, are u sure this site is reliable like flipkart or snapdeal or amazon ?? and one more thing what is its shipping range like can it deliver product to Bhubaneswar,Odisha ??

cst1992 · Oct 20, 2015

If they say they can, they can.
I haven't bought from them personally, so I cannot say. I have bought from TheITWares though. Product was packed well, and wasn't damaged.

You'll have to look for what people say about theitdepot to get an idea about them.

cst1992 :

yes u r right. I'll contact them today and get more info about their delivery services..there was an antec gx500 one that is looking decent and really have good ventilation and costs around 3810 inr and it is good i think. and another one is Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-01 Red which is around 3700 INR and Deepcool Tesseract SW Mid Tower which is 3000 only and Deepcool Kendomen RD Mid Tower which is 3535 INR so i am getting confused which one to buy coz i like these 4 more than others.

cst1992 · Oct 21, 2015

I would advise you to buy the Corsair ones.
I checked out a review of the GX500, and I wasn't impressed with the case. The build quality is basic, and there's costcutting. Moreover, there's no space for routing cables, and no fans for hard drives.
The 200R is much better.

The SPEC-01 is also good, but it doesn't have a fan on the back of the case(Which is essential). If you decide to go for that case, be sure to measure the size of the exhaust grid and get a fan.

cst1992 :

I agree with u that 200R is a good one but it's crossing my budget actually. I wanted to buy a cabinet below 4000 so i can buy 2 120 mm fans with what money left. most of the cabinets are coming in 2 fans Pre-installed except deepcool tesseract and deepcool kendomen RD . So i hope u can understand what i am saying here. Thanks bro.

cst1992 · Oct 21, 2015

You don't need to get extra fans if the cases come with preinstalled ones. You won't need that much cooling, I'd say.

Also, check out my updated post.

cst1992 :

I am using a msi gtx 760 TF oc card and my current cabinet is a small one without any good fans and inside all wirings are messed up. Due to my card I totally removed my side panel and that's causing dust and specs to enter inside my cabinet and there are lots of dusts inside. During summer on load the temp of my GPU was max 75 or 76 degrees but now its reaching 84 max and my gpu's idle temp is now 50 degrees when fans are in auto mode. I have to run the gpu fans at full speed all the time.My room is not properly ventilated too so i need a good airflow for my card. and this is the reason why i wanted to get a good cabinet for better airflow.
Sorry this is a bit lengthy

madmatt30 · Oct 21, 2015

Out of those 4 you listed the deepcool kendomen is the best case by absolutely miles mate

If that's well in budget then its the one to go for.
Its preinstalled cooling is insanely good - you'll never have to spend a penny on extra fans.

salilskp · Oct 21, 2015

madmatt30 :

Thanks mate.. That is in no.1 place in my buying list. still i am considering other options before my final choice.

madmatt30 · Oct 21, 2015

At that price I'd just grab it mate seriously , the kendomen goes out of stock a lot because its such good value for money.

The spec 01 & 200r are nothing spectacular - good build quality but very little else.you won't do better than the kendomen at that price & if it goes OOS or the price goes up you will be kicking yourself.

10.24" x 4.96" this is the dimension of my msi gtx 760 TF oc card. can it fit perfectly and hows the wirings inside ?

madmatt30 · Oct 21, 2015

There's room for aa 12.5 inch card as standard (
16 inch with drive bay removed)

Your card will fit easily.

Cabling will be down to you.
There is a lot of room behind the motherboard for cable routing & plenty of tray holes.
It can be made ultra tidy if you put the effort in
I've only used the case once , they are impossible to get hold of in the UK where I live , I would absolutely 100% use that case in sa lot of builds if it were available to me more .

salilskp · Oct 21, 2015

madmatt30 :

U said u used the case before ?? what are u using now ?? and BTW what are the uses of the drive bays in the middle of the cabinet ?? is it for hard drives or SSDs ?

ok as u said I choose deepcool kendomen which costs 3525 INR and with courier charge its 4152 INR but no cash on delivery option is there.

madmatt30 · Oct 21, 2015

The top 3 fixed bays are for 5.25 inch optical drives or bay controllers
The bottom 3 fixed bays are for standard 3.5inch hard drives or ssd's with mounting kits.
The centre removable bay (fixed with 4 screws) is for 3x ssd or 2.5 inch platter drives.
If this is removed it greatly enhances airflow directly to the gpu.

I'm a system builder - the kendomen was used for a customer build.
I would abdutely 100% use one of these cases again if they were available in the UK - they aren't available though & deepcool stuff has overinflated prices over here when they are available
At less than the 200r & spec 01 ,I would consider the kendomen an absolute bargain.
