I've got 2 Antec's, but Lian Li is good as it gets. The PC75B has been calling my name for some time now, but between the price and the depth of the table I set my case on not being long enough....I've yet to grab one.
 
IMHO best case ever made is
CoolerMaster CM Stacker. For reasonable price (for this price you're gonna get more than expected!). I just got one and it's, how to tell it, HUGE... It's so HUGE and well build you can't imagine. Especially I can recomend it for water cooling.

Also Lian Li high priced models are awesome, but again, they're highly priced.

Just my 2 cents.
 
Just unpacked My silverstone Temjin 6, wow. only $105 and the thing is beautiful, modern and elegant. I dont like the stacker, all function and no form.

Best. Case. Ever.

Please tell me you're joking. That's gotta be one of the ugliest cases I've ever seen, and the PSU (just based on the ratings on the rails) looks to be crap.

I'm gonna go with Lian-Li. Although I haven't personally seen any of the high-end Coolermaster cases. Antec does not really impress me.

Although Antec is my favorite cheap case maker, Lian LI and Coolermaster are Tied for First.

I am seriously considering one of these:

Meh, the ones in the poll are mostly look alike companies who add pretty crap no one with any sense cares about any way. Here's my current favorite case for home use:

Besides buying that one, the rest of my cases have come cheap used or from walking around the city on garbage night. Blowing money on something as generic as a case when it could be better spent towards performance parts is just dumb. You can always tell how poorly chosen someone's parts are going to be by how fancy their case is.

No with the 2 extra fans I added, its 60c. But with the case cover off, its 50c. There is NO place at the top of the case for all that hot air to get out, its physics, its a bad design !!!! There should have been 2 fans going straight out the top at 2000rpm, and then it might have worked !

See sig, V2100B
 
I don't see Casetek listed - they actually design and manufacture cases sold by Antec, ThermalTake and many others. Some of the best basic designs around. Look for the big stylized "C" molded into the mobo tray. Antec and TT don't actually manufacture much of anything - they are marketing companies.
. And Evercase makes some of the best inexpensive cases around (the 42x2 series).
.bh.
 
My CoolerMaster Praetorian case is functionally awesome, and looks great in black brushed aluminum. It has a pull-out mobo tray and power-supply cage at the top, useful for holding a heavy PSU (like my Enermax 600w). There are two fans located directly in front of the main drive cage, which helps to keep the drives cool. It also comes with an extra fan at the top of the case, so hot air can't collect there. I highly highly highly highly recommend this case.
