erm... no need for the side panel intake IMHO believe me, it's gonna be quieter and a lot less dust buildup without a fan on the side panel

Same thing what I do with my 4 extra fans... keep them in storage until needed

white and quiet... only the Fractal Design XL comes to mind

good cable management... BitFenix outlaw?? I heard that the CM Elite 311 is not bad either, both will set you back about RM120 to RM140 like that

No idea mate, literally no experience with Aerocool chassis, best to check it out in the stores

Apes in Wangsa Maju will probably have as well

look for the full address and contact details in FB bro search for APES.my

the Fractal Design R4 is your best bet in this case, the others is not much of a silence chassis

you don't have to, but it's recommended

reason is that when you OC, temps go up so a better cooler will be able to cool it better compared to the stock HSF

these are correct, besides processors nowadays have a safety mechanism that would shut down if it gets too hot to prevent you from destroying it.

WC is one way to cool things down so it's really up to the user if it's worth it or not, if you've got the $$$ and the time or simply want a rig that looks like no other, then WC might just be for you

Lots that'll fit your budget there mate, but I'll list down those with windows and good cm

BitFenix Shinobi Window
Cooler Master Elite 311 Adv
Cooler Master K350 / K380
Thermaltake MS-1
Xigmatek Asgard 381
Xigmatek Pantheon
Xigmatek Midgard

they should all be within your budget as well

if its custom, you can replace anything bro, the plastic covers you mean the 5.25" bay covers right?? I think lots of ppl done that already and if you don't have the resources to DIY, you can pm the modders in the forum to do that for you... at a price of course... try getting a hold of APES.MY or Mod'n'Go design

Try the modding thread bro, thats way out of our league and topic already I'm not really that good in modding as well

Corsair is a little overpriced imo but if you like the chassis then go for it, I would hold purchases till Nov though, PC Expo is coming up and maybe can drop by the Idealtech DIY booth for good offers

+1 rubber grommets are heaven sent if you plan to show off the components in the PC but it's still optional

True, not really a fan of those perforated plexi myself, prefer to have a full window or at least a solid piece of plexi for the window

put it this way,

do you want a side panel? with lots of cable management? then go for the 350D

-or-

do you want something small that's quite unique sitting on your desk? or even beside your TV? and don't care about windowed panels? then go for the Prodigy

-simple-

you might wanna go for the Phenom too just in case

330R is good as well have a look-see in here -> http://www.tech-critter.com/2013/11/corsai...-unleashed.html

it is good if you like it the thing with chassis is that not everyone will like what you like, the CM 690-series is an old time fav and the newest 690III should be an improvement over the previous gen, so yeah it should be good

The only thing that comes into mind is the Asrock M8 Mini-ITX barebones PC, cool looking chassis that one but with some drawbacks in slim-line designs

haha I just saw this, true that the Prodigy-M is lacking storage space but you could fit all of midnight2903 requirements will be okay, just a matter of preference is all that's left

BitFenix also have the Phenom-M (No external ODD) now and the old Survivor is still worth having a look the Colossus-M also just launched and will be available in Dec

Other than that, he can try looking at Cooler Master Elite 344/343, Xigmatek Helios series, or even Lian Li and Silverstone which have good lineup of small chassis

that is an ITX chassis? only dual slots at the back... and it only support small PSUs

Reminds me of the Xigmatek Gigas and CM HAF XB

the scout 2 retails for about rm300 in KL, maybe you bought yours during an offer? or maybe the import price changed due to the flux in exchange rate?
