What would you say are the top 10 "Cadillacs" of computer cases?

[scrawnypaleguy]

I hate CM now. The Praetorian/Wavemasters are nice looking, but they're loud as hell and don't cool very well. Lian lis are much better all around.

For a regular computer I prefer Coolermasters especially the ATC series. Have an ATC 410-sx1
For a HTPC I prefer the cases by A-Tech Fabrication, built like a tank and good lookin. Have the 4000 EX with LCD touchscreen.

Cadillacs? Pssssssh... sorry guys, but made in America ain't what it used to be. Particularly with GM looking like its on the verge of bankruptcy. I think you really mean the Lexus of computer cases... I'm partial to Lian-Li, love em.

Well, in that case, mine would be the Hummer of computer cases. hehe

Enermax FS2300 = Hummer
P180 = Honda Accord
ATech Fabrication = beamer
ATC 101 = classic 57 chevy
Stacker = SUV

Pshhh, Cadillacs, Lexus(btw I hope you mean a Toyota w/leather cuz there's no difference) you mean Mercedes-Benz, Audi, BMW, Bentley, and Rolls-Royce right? p180, Lian-Lis.

I think everyone will have a favorite depending on their budget. I own a silver Lian-Li PC-60A Plus and love it. However, it runs about $125. A budget case I really like is the CoolerMaster Praetorian that retails for about $50, nice looking and cools well. In the cost be damned category, I was wowed by the upcoming CoolerMaster CM Stacker 830. That case can hold nine 120mm fans! Looks amazing as well.

However, I will stick with my Lian-Li, since I really dislike the "tool-less" features found on the CoolerMasters. I prefer the security of real old-fashioned screws. I also have lined my Lian-Li with acoustic matting, forming my own "quiet case" as I dislike the doors found on the factory Lian-Li quiet line.

I don't think there's such a thing as a "Cadillac of cases," is there? One man's flimsy is another man's light. One man's upgradable is another man's bulky.

A Cadillac is a Cadillac, unless it is a Cadillac. So true.
