Xaser III gets my vote because it looks cool and has 7 fan mounts and comes with 7 silent TT fans and a controller for them. I HATE LOUD FANS!
 
The Xaser appeals to the BLING-BLING crowd. That it to say, it's gaudy, tacky, terrible, etc.

Some of the Lians and Coolermasters are rather elegant. But I'd say the nicest case I've seen in a while is the Antec Sonata in Piano Black.

Me too...but it's not deep enough. My ram is hidden by my hard drives, changing it is a bear. Air flow ain't that great either. One of the new enermax cases will be my choice.
 
You need to check that link dobby, it has what looks like a bad certificate to me and may compromise security for those that link to it.
 
I just love how some of you are judging an entire person by the type of case that they like. Where's the redneck person's case? The black person's case? The gay person's case?
 
I've only used very small cases for as long as I can remember. I always thought the big ones were "stupid". well, I traded my antec black beauty with a window and tons of ccfls and uv sensitive stuff inside to my friend for an inwin q500 and some cash...man I'm lovin it! the q500 is really nice! and it doesn't look as ugly as I thought from the pictures online

You're right about airflow...fan mounting is a bit problematic, but mine is used as a media box and nothing needing supercooling.
 
I think I have decided. While not being my favorite case as far as "looks", it has a nice large side window and a removeable motherboard tray and is highly rated. It's not such a tough choice when you make certain 'demands' from your case. My choice is the TextLian-Lu 65USB. Here's the link on the manufacturer's site to the black one.
 
Instead of teh Lian-Li PC65, go to your local CompUSA and get the PC-80. Silver, has more fans, same price or less. Basically it is the PC-65 with the window and 5 fans. 2 front, 2rear and one top blowhole. You'll pay sales tax but no shipping or shipping damage. I paid $149 for mine.
 
While looking for PSUs, I chanced on this one: KeyPower 307-317 - Check it out!
. Not very pretty but looks exceptionally functional and cheap besides. When you buy the case for $33. you can get their KPS-300B PSU for $19. if you want it.
. Certainly not the "Best Case in the World" but definitely way above average. Appears totally screwless - even screwless mobo mounting devices!

:beer: time!
