Favorite Cases

The front portion of that case is a little too cluttered for my taste, but I can see how it's useful from a storage expandability persepective.

 

I'm actually thinking of doubleside taping my SSDs in the front to show them off, what do you think?

Cases that meet those items you listed and are affordable.  Im not into buying the best cases to stare at.  My favorite case atm is the Rosewill Nautilus (the first edition) - goes on sale for $25 every few months.  Super budget but builder friendly case.

 

EDIT - I love my CoolerMaster HAF XM - I would buy another if they still sold them.  Best case I have ever owned I should say

I'm really partial to the Thermaltake Level 10.  It just looks super spiffy and is aesthetically pleasing to me.  I just wish the new Level 20 wasn't $1000 USD otherwise I would upgrade in a heartbeat.  And yeah, I know the GT edition exists which is more reasonable at $190 but it just looks like any other case with a tempered glass window.  Before I got the L10 I really liked the Silverstone Raven because it was just the right amount of weird with its vertical mobo mount and "heat rises" cooling concept.  Ended up giving that to a friend when I got the L10.

NZXT H700 - liked the look so much I just bought one and am transferring my build from my Meshify C to it. 

 

I also love the Meshify C but find it too small for bigger GPUs combined with a radiator at the front and the black one with tinted TG looks sick compared to the white and black one I have (meh).

I had the GT version for four years. Wasted space and NOT designed for watercooling, but a good case in many aspects nonetheless

Oh yeah its not watercooling friendly and it is a little tight even with a CM H80i v2 cooler but I personally don't like watercooling.  I'm just lazy and don't want to deal with maintenance as much so I'm absolutely fine with good old air cooling.  I wish the Level 20 itself wasn't $850+ though.

I mean it is their flagship. Phanteks, CoolerMaster, and Corsair all have $500+ Super towers that I'd probably choose over the Level 20 (sad to say)

Define R6 is a lousy case.
