As the Topic already Said, I need a good Cabinet. :hello:
My specs that will fit in are:

i5 3470
GTX 660
600w PSU
Micro ATX Mobo

Website preferred : http://www.flipkart.com/computers/computer-components/cabinets/pr?sid=6bo%2Cg0i%2C1fz&ref=9ffb9613-730a-4f5d-a42b-007db61fd49c
I want it to be real Big, so my Parts get much space to keep them cool 😗
Budget is Rupees 5,000. Nothing more than this :lol:

I want to install many fans. So, please tell me how much fans could I install in them
How to install Fans and where to install them?

I want a Airflow like this:

I've chose one of them http://www.flipkart.com/corsair-300r/p/itmd8bfzeqz4yfqc?pid=CABD8BYGYYF6U4HP&ref=bfcc28f1-807d-445d-99ea-dabf2d190381&srno=t_1&otracker=from-search&query=Corsair%20300
And this one too http://www.flipkart.com/cooler-master-haf-912-combat-mid-tower-cabinet/p/itmdfb2eztya5z5s?pid=CABDFB2DMMZVSZDU&ref=34c6f8b1-b676-45b5-a4d2-31c13e0dfc56
Is it good enough to Handle many fans and Other specs?
Which is better


 
corsair 300r: http://www.flipkart.com/corsair-300r/p/itmd8bfzeqz4yfqc?pid=CABD8BYGYYF6U4HP&ref=5e31543b-bf80-418f-9ce3-67031661b142

corsair make really good hardware. i have a 650d case and it is phenomenal build quality. the 300r has two pre-installed fans (i think a 140mm front and a 120mm rear)
it can have up to 6 fans installed (one of those being the top (140mm max))
it'll fit your mobo and your graphics card.
psu will go at the bottom, not sure if psus suck air in through the fan or blow air out but the case is raised off the floor so there should be no problems with that.
plus it's under the budget :)
 
The 300R is a good choice, you'l be fine with it. If anything you have space left over since you have an M-ATX board and the case is ATX size.

All the fan mounts in the 300R
2x120mm at the front (one comes with the case).
2x120/140mm on the side.
1x120mm at the back (comes with the case).
2x120mm at the top.
I would start with a 2nd front panel fan, then the side panel fans blowing air into the fan, then top fans blowing outward.

Heres a review of the case.

To put in a new fan is just a matter of screwing it in, the necessary screws should come with the case and probably the fan itself.
 
this case is not good for sli or crossfire for long gpu clearance i suggest better and the best one is corsair 400 r its give u what u need
 
What about the other one I listed? I'm leaning towards that, Looks are good. And Cooling looks more.

What about Corsair 400R. I could rarely get that, but still want to know about how much better it is over 300r?
 
The HAF 912 is also a good choice, it has one less side intake fan mount, but IMO that balanced out by the ability to have a 200mm fan on the top or dual 120mm's. You do lose the USB3 ports though.
Also has more drive bays with native support for a 3.5" external drive and 2.5" drives, which the 300R doesn't have.

Either will be fine I think, you could pick either based on what you think looks good and not make a bad decision IMO.
 
Heres a review of the HAF-912

Depends, as I said before either will be fine and it will come down to what you want and will do with the case.

HAF-912 pro's over the 300R
- More internal and external drive bays with greater variety
- 200mm fan support at the top
- Better water-cooling support with external radiator capability.
- You say it looks better, which is actually pretty important since chances are you'l have the case for a fair while.

300R pro's over the 912.
- It has USB3 on the front panel
- Extra side panel mount
 
Which is better according to my Needs.

I will not Watercool
No more drives, just one HDD
Will 200mm affect much over 140mm? I mean is t worth or a little bit.


Don't need USB 3.0
"Extra side panel mount" Does this have much effect or just a show?

And thanks for the review link 😉
 
As fans get larger, they don't have to spin as fast to achieve a CFM (a unit of "air moved" sort of) a smaller fan would have have to spin like crazy to achieve, so they are quieter in general. Also I guess a single 200m fan would be cheaper than dual 120mm's.

The extra fan mount means you can put on another fan to the side panel. It is debatable whether the extra fan would matter, but that can get complicated fairly quickly and stray into controversial area's (Positive VS Negative case pressure). But regardless, its there and the 912 doesn't have it.

Most likely the 300R then, you have the future-proofing of the USB3 and it is cheaper, while its lesser drive bays isn't a concern. Though as I have said before, either will be fine.

EDIT: As to which way a fan blows just depends which way you screw it into the case. Usually the ugly end of the fan (the sticker and support strut end) is the exhaust. There might also be markings on the frame indicating which way the air flows. Or you could plug it in and feel for yourself before plugging it in.
 
Go for noctua NF P-12 or F-12 for optimum cooling, though they are not available in flipkart.

Imho, dont buy from flipkart, their prices are very high, though their service and shipping is great. Try looking at your local computer bazaar, you might find it at better prices..
 
bro still i say corsair 400 r is the best one in its class and price beware from flipkart its overpiced site try some local dealer they have the good price i bought one my self in 4500 only beware from flipkart some product are faulty too
 
You would be better off getting the 2x4GB kit, as that allows you use the dual channel config on the motherboard (slightly better performance).

Thats a strange colour scheme, green and blue. With that Corsair case I would go with blue fans.
Would replace the green 120mm one with this, higher CFM with lower noise and its also blue.

though if you still want green 120mm's.

They are 120mm? Ohhh.... Their heading was 90CFM, So I thought they were 90mm.
Well, thanks for that...

And I'm choosing Green because it is not common here.
My friend has a blue neon lighting in his Rig. So, I want different one.
And Red may hurt my eyes in Long term use.
And green gives me peace :ange:


And getting 2x4 GB will make any noticeable difference?
How ever if so, I'm getting them.
 


I too know that 400R is the best in its class. I even watched the video review.
But still I liked 300R more 😍
And 300R is enough for me. No SLI in future. I prefer single card.


And can you tell me some local stores. I know in Delhi there is Nehru Palace, which is Famous for IT Products.
But I live in Korba, Chhattisgarh.
But I can go there just in case. So, tell me the Best Shops there please. :lol:

I'm not buying everything from Flipkart.
Like, I'll buy those fans from there but Case from out somewhere.
 
I researched about fans. I came to know that CFM is important.
Its the amount of air getting in per minute.

The more CFM, the more Airflow = More cooling
Right?

And I watched a review and they told that it can fit these fans

2x140mm at Top
2x140mm at Front (1 Included)
2x140mm at Side Panel
1x120mm at Back (Included)

And I'm getting the Blue fans. They look better than Green :ouch:

So I'm confused that which fan to buy?
I'm thinking of getting 5x140mm Blue Fans

But they only have 60CFM and 1000RPM !!
Is it worth it, or get a those 120mm 90CFM fans?

Will 120mm, 90CFM enough for Cooling of my Rig? And I'm getting those fans because of Neon too.

And where to fit which fans to get the Best out of it.
Please help me out :sarcastic:
 
More CFM does mean more air moved, but it does get to a point where more airflow wont make a difference. So dont stress if you aren't getting the max airflow possible.

Also if anything you want a lower RPM. The faster they spin, the more noise they make (measured in Decibels, shown as dBA). So you have to balance CFM and noise, that's why lower CFM fans exist.
20 decibels is about the noise of a quiet room.

Again, contentious topic that. There are two ways of setting up the case fans, Positive and Negative. Positive is having more air intake than exhaust, negative has more being exhausted than brought in.
A Positive pressure system has the advantage of repelling dust, as air is being exhausted out of the nooks and crannies of case and the air that intakes is likely going through a dust filter.
A Negative pressure system does cool a bit better than positive, but is dustier because of aforementioned nooks and crannies intaking air and dust.

I myself prefer Positive case pressure, because the performance difference is fairly small (if present at all) and less dust to clean.
 



i can give us it for indian electronic items u can buy easily at good price too its called erodov
