Which case to buy for an corsair h100i liquid cooler.
Im from India and im finding it hard to get the right case for the cooler.
my budget is limited to Rs 5,000 (74$).
These are some of the cases i wonder might fit corsair h100i.

PCPartPicker doesn't list either as being compatible but I'm not sure why. Both have at least one set of 120mm fans bays next to each other. Both actually have two - one at the front and one at the top.

Corsair itself doesn't list the H100i as being compatible so I'd take that as truth. The Corsair coolers that fit that case are the H55, H60, H75, & H80i.

Here's a list of cases $74 and cheaper that are compatible with that cooler.

There's a huge number there but no way to list what can be bought in India. I still linked it because you can specify which merchant you want to use. If you know of one that will sell to your area, you may be able to still use PCPartPicker.

I found this...

I found this list of retailers that sell in India. None are listed in PCPartPicker. The 300R fits the H100i, is a good case, is in your price range, and is available from the website you were using.

Flipkart Much like Amazon for India
The IT Depot
Lynx Chandigarh

I'm partial to Corsair - I've never had a problem with their components so I'd go with the Spec-03.

Between that list and the PCPartPicker list I linked, you should be able to cross reference other cases.

I hope that helps a bit.
