my friend is currently using an atx case with a generic power supply ,due to the problem of dust build up and space constrains ,he would like to change his case to a slim tower one .i saw a slim tower cabinet with 400psu for 1500 RS but it's a generic brand named v4 ,though i don't care about the quality of the case ,i care about the quality of power supply .so guys can you suggest me a good slim tower cabinet with decent psu below 2500 RS?

here is the current rig:
intel core i3 2100 3.1 ghz running with stock cooler
intel DH67vr motherboard
6gb ddr3 1333mhz ram
128 sandisk ssd
500 gb hdd
also ,i have an APC ups attached with this rig which is rated at 600VA.
 
Solution
That's precisely the problem, slim tower cases require different components. If you were to buy a PSU, it may(on in this case, probably will) not fit in a slim case. Get a case that supports regular ATX PSU's.
A slim tower cabinet is not going to help with dust buildup. Generic cases like these don't have things that are considered "luxury", such as air filters, and so are prone to (more) dust buildup over time.
Also, your conception is flawed. You need a good case and power supply, it's not going to come in only 2500. Be prepared to spend that amount on the power supply alone, if you want to get a good one.

Power supplies that come with cases are guaranteed to be extremely low quality, and need replacing the minute you try to put anything decent in there. If your friend ever plans to get a graphics card to go with that i3 (I have used that, it's a good processor), spend some money and get him a decent case and a SEPARATE power supply from companies such as Corsair, Antec or Seasonic.


Another problem with slim tower cases is that the layout of the components inside is cramped and the components themselves are smaller, which could prevent you from installing components from your current PC inside the new case, and also not supporting a standard size ATX power supply.
 

he is just going to use for office purpose ,so now graphics card just the system i mentioned ,also i have a very good computer UPS which APC attached to my system to take care of the voltage fluctuations and proper power delivery.The case that i mentioned you was offering 2 years of warranty for the PSU .
 
Still, don't go for that type of combo, unless you seriously don't care about your computer. My brother had a system similar to yours. The whole system costed only 20K. The case was custom, similar to what you're seeing, and it didn't even have a case fan. Seriously, get a separate case and PSU.
If you're not able to afford the PSU, fine, just go for a case. But only buy an empty case, not a combo.
 


The product i mentioned has a case fan and i could find a PSU for the case .i was looking for cooler master but there was no PSU available for slim tower cases.
