I have no experience with a lot of manufacturers, but I have really good ones with both Corsair cases and Phanteks.

Case Labs (pricey)

Silverstone (good value and nicely done paint finish)

Lian Li (just good)

 

Corsair waaay down of the list (i found the 350D quite shite)

Corsair fanboys, are you seriously putting corsair above caselabs and lianli? Shame

Specs: 4790k | Asus Z-97 Pro Wifi | MX100 512GB SSD | NZXT H440 Plastidipped Black | Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler | MSI 290x Lightning | EVGA 850 G2 | 3x Noctua Industrial NF-F12's

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it

Ikr this is disappointing.

I'm a Silverstone fanboy, but I voted Caselabs and lian li, tho Silverstone would be third, I didn't want to add another on mobile, to much work.

It wouldn't be such a big deal if corsair had good build quality, but they really don't anymore.

Silverstone are the best build but there cases can be awkward when you want to adjust something.

I´m very happy with my NZXT Phantom 530 case.

 

pro´s:

  • Lots of room
  • Nice side window
  • Space in the top for 280MM rad push pull. or 360MM rad
  • Allot of flexible option with drive bays.
  • options for more radiators.
  • Fan hub
  • IO led.
  • Decent cable routing options.

Con´s:

  • Side panel with window a bit flimsy
  • Only 2x USB 3.0 port
  • Glossy paint, sensitive for finger prints lol.
  • Only 2 fans included

I have a SG09 and it took me an hour to arrange the cables so they didn't rub against the GPU fans, duct tape is your friend.

Well see there's the problem, I've never had a Lian-Li or Caselabs case and I suspect most people here haven't. So I can't judge them!

 

Of the ones I have personally built in/used, I would have to say Phanteks first and Corsair second, but I just don't have a complete representation.

Case: Meatbag, humanoid - APU: Human Brain version 1.53 (stock clock) - Storage: 100TB SND (Squishy Neuron Drive) - PSU: a combined 500W of Mitochondrial cells - Optical Drives: 2 Oculi, with corrective lenses.

Cheers spawth,  It's a nice case - the R9 290x was possibly too warm for it   :unsure:  but the G10/AIO combo sorted it.

 

I've never had the pleasure of seeing a Caselabs, Phanteks or bequiet so I can't comment on them.  Built in the rest (and others) and I've owned two Lian Li and three Silverstone and all have been beautifully built so from personal experience my vote went there.

I know it's super predictable, but I think Fractal Design make excellent quality cases for the price. I have personally built in several of their cases and they have impressed accross the board (at their low-ish price).

First place is caselabs hands down (though they are crazy expensive)

Second is close between lian li and silverstone, but I think lian li slightly edges a win.

I'd rank Corsair and Phanteks about the same. They're good, but they aren't THAT good. Still, good enough for most.

 

Silverstone and Lian Li have good build quality and an affordable price.

 

Caselabs, good build quality, sans the fact you build the thing yourself. Be prepared to pay through the nose for one though

Yup that's why I have an ft05, pretty good price, and great quality

I'm considering buying one into the new year, alongside possibly swapping my graphics cards

 

Or, going balls to the walls and buying an S-Frame, which if that happens, definitely new graphics cards, before I hear everyone whine about how I bought a $750 case and only have GTX 770 SLI
