I prefer mid tower and full tower cases. I don't like any micro stuff.
My top 3 - pics courtesy of google images.
1.) Antec 900 Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

2.) Corsair Carbide 500r in black Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

3.) Antec 300 Illusion Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
0525012357.jpg
The 300r would be just outside my top 3. Corsair makes some nice clean and sleek cases.

I saw an Antec 300 illision the other day. My friend had it, and a GTX 680 inside. My longer Asus GTX 570 was almost too long for the case. Also, no cable management cutouts to route anything behind your motherboard. Practically the only thing it had on my HAF 912 was fans with LEDs.

1.) HAF 912 - My top case for sure. Great for budget builds. Good cable routing, plenty of room. Fits most GPUs with extra hard drive cage in, and pretty much any with the hdd cage out. Doesn't' come with a window, USB 3.0, a painted interior, or LED fans, but it is a very solid, high airflow case for people with a tighter budget. Here is mine (with a window + 2x200mm and 2x120mm LED fans).



My other two cases.
2 a.) Cooler Master Cosmos & b.) Cosmos II (one entry smile.gif - Just because MaximumPC used these in two Dream Machines.

3. NZXT Phantom - I never considered NZXT to be very quality until they launched this remarkable statement. Beautiful, colorful, and very sexy.
post #63 of 81
My choice would be -
Antec P183 V3
Antec Mini P180
Lian Li P6
With a highly commended for the Coolermaster Cosmos which I don't own because I can't afford it . I do not rate it in the top 3 because I feel it is overpriced .

post #66 of 81
ill exclude givens like MM and CL, so here they are

1) HAF 932/ HAF-XM (these two are tied for first simply because of how easy theya re to use, and how many options there are with them... great cases even though the 932 is a bit old:))
2) AZZA fusion 4000/ Genesis 9000 (kinda gimiky, but great cases to build in and kinda fun wink.gif... the 9000 is also rather inventive, and truly can WC easily and is only $200 smile.gif)
3) ??? idk on this one... thee are so many nice cases out there, but those are definately my favorite smile.gif

1. CaseLabs Merlin SM8 - I have this case myself and I think it is the perfect case. It looks clean, it is all aluminium, it has a removable motherboard tray, it is not to big, neither to small, the internal layout is perfect and it is modular to some extent.

2. Fractal Design Node 304 - this is an awesome case for the M-ITX form factor. It can fit an impressive amount of hardware despite its size, is mostly aluminium and very clean looking.

3. Abee Acubic T180 - This case I don't have any experience with myself, I chose this purely based on looks. They are only available in Japan I think. jealoussmiley.gif

1) 600t Special Edition (White)
2) CM Storm Trooper White

Can't decide on the third one. Maybe NZXT Switch 820. But the Silverstone Raven looks quite sexy too tongue.gif
