1500 what?

Why does it have to be a case with a PSU? Can't you buy them separately? The PSU is the easiest componente to install in a case....

How about this comes with a 380W earthwatts PSU. for $120.

Indian Rupee? According to my conversion table, that is only $30US. You will hardly find a case WITHOUT a PSU for that....you need to up your budget to around 5000 Rupees

But that is the max budget i hv for the cabinet and smps.

Rather it would be great if u could just tell me some good smps in 20$.

Sorry I can't help you, there are no decent Power Supplies out there for $20. I won't condone someone cheaping out on a power supply and I certainly won't suggest some cheap piece of crap.

Hoofan is correct. You can't say my budget is $30 so there has to be a good case+power supply for that. You are going to have to save up and get something better.

They'll do just fine for his purposes. My P4 X850XT is running on a 500w Raidmax that came with my case just fine. There is no need for a high-end PSU on low powered builds.

There is no need for a high end PSU, there is need for a PSU that isn't absolute junk....which those are.

Because we all know that his build needs a PSU with the lowest ripple and highest efficiency. :roll: rohitshakti, those PSU's will do just fine.

He does need a PSU that won't blow a transistor though, there is a distinct possibility of that happening with a PSU bought with a $30 case.

Hell it is his money, if he wants to take poor advice and buy a gutless wonder, no skin off my back.
