Cases vary in quality from model to model, but overall, vote for which manufacturer that you feel in general produces the cases with the finest:
*Aesthetic Design
*Layout (e.g. cable management, PSU/Port placement, drive bay access/mounting, etc.)
*Build Quality
*Cooling
*Features in its class
*Overall Value


Assign importance to these categories however you see fit.
 
I'm currently using a Lian Li, whose build quality is superb, but I voted for Silverstone.

Why?

Silverstone is easy to contact, relatively easy to deal with, and they put out some great products. Lian Li, on the other hand, was repeatedly bouncing back emails to me due to a mail account being full, and didn't even respond when I finally did get a message through. That's totally unprofessional, and really tarnishes their image in my opinion.

Antec customer service was also a pleasure to work with, but I'm just not a fan of the cases they make anymore. I like aluminum, curvy, brushed, and elegant.
 
my current top 3

1. Silverstone
2. Fractal
3. LianLi

Corsair has started moving up with some of their more economical cases (was really impressed with the Carbide 300R on a recent budget build), otherwise they've been too big/inefficient/not cost effective enough to really be up there. They do deserve quite a bit of credit for the cable management trend that really started to take over right around the time they entered the case biz, but until they start putting out some smaller/lighter cases to round out their lineup they still can't really compete as a whole.
 
Corsair for sure. Ive actually never owned a corsair case but my friend has one, im currently on a silverstone FT02 but silverstone are all over the place with their case design (anyone seen the new FT04 and RV04? ugh...FT02 is the only good one IMO) and my former fav antec have fallen behind althouth the 1100 is a step in the right direction after the fugly abortion that was the darkfleet series. Corsair is the only one that is on the ball and consistently taking whats good about their previous generation cases and improving it in the next generation.

If corsair even do something like the FT02 with the bottom to top cooling ill be all over it :thumbsup: Even if its made of steel and weighs 60lbs i dont care.
 
Corsair, Lian Li, and Silverstone are the top QUALITY case makers on the market now. Fractal makes some good stuff but since most of their target audience are frugal potential Corsair/Lian Li/Silverstone customers, their cases offers the same aesthetic features but at a lower price/quality. I have an R3 and it is excellent for how much it costs, and I would love to see what Fractal can make if they go all out and create a flagship case.
 
1. Silverstone
2. Corsair
3. Lian Li

But Corsair is definitely getting close to Silverstone, I personally think Silverstone need to design more cases watercooling in mind. I also think they should do a refresh of the TJ 07.
 
Lehtv, I saw you voted for "Other", but you didn't comment. Who's getting your vote? Based on the comments and votes thus far, I definitely should have had Fractal included before Rosewill and In Win.
