This. I've built 3 computers since 2007 with the 690, and it was always the absolute best case you could buy for the money (you could find it on sale year round for $50).

Fractal or Corsair anything. The 400R and 500R are great, in addition to the 600T.

Fractal Design Arc Midi gets my vote here. Love the minimalistic design and the ability to cram a thick 240 rad up top. Think you have the wrong pic posted under the description though.

Me too, but out of those it has to be the 600T. At first I thought it's ugly but now I like the design, and it looks very solidly built and well thought through in the design.

Fractal Arc Midi! Wonderful case with great looks and cooling with all intakes filtered. With the offset 240mm radiator mount on the top allows for thick radiators to be mounted and push/pull fan setups to fit nicely and the removable/turntable HDD cage is a huge plus! Now there is an window side panel available also.
The picture shows the wrong case though.
