Fong Kai603/320. Better designed drive cages than the Enlight, spacious given its relatively compact size(603 is the case I have). CPU exhaust and shroud are built in. Just all around quality case. Directron

I agree about the Fong Kai 603. I have my main system in one and not only is it a beautiful case it is also highly functional. The drive bays are great and very easy to remove and rearrange. Head over to Directron and order it. Back when I bought mine it only took 2 days via standard shipping to get to me.

I would have to say it depends what you are planning on putting in it, and if you plan on modding it or not. I am a big fan of the enlight 7237, but there are some great alternatives out there.

I used to have an Enlight 7237 and unless you want to chop your case up or something the Fong Kai 603 completely outclasses the Enlight.

Definately one of those aluminum mid-towers. I think Cool Masters is the brand. Lian Li also makes some nice aluminum mid-towers. If your talking regular cases I'd definately say the Chenbro Genie.

I like the Enlight 7237 and the Antec SX830 the best right now, and I would go with either if I were building a Midtower.

IMO:
aluminum cases - if money is of little importance, and you want that "coolness" factor. I would love to be able to get one of these. Very light, so great for lan parties as well.

chenbro genie or junior genie - A bit pricey, but great build quality and cooling ability. The genie is pretty big, but is one of the best in terms of cooling and modability.

Antec 1030 or 830 - Cheaper, good build quality, and good cooling. On the bigger end of mid-towers though. Great if you plan on having tons of stuff in your machine (this is what I have = D )

FongKai - Smaller and very quiet. If you don't need 8-10 bays the antecs and chenbro offer you, this is your case.

Enlight - Cheap and one of the most modded cases out there. Quality isn't as great as the other cases listed, but still a very durable case. (have one of these too ;) )
