I like sleek and simple cases, nothing super fancy. A nice TG window and some mesh for good airflow are a big plus in my book. I like RGB but not Unicorn puke, just minor RGB that accents the case or components inside.

My two favorites right now to build in are the Fractal Design Meshify S2 and the Phanteks P350x Eclipse. The Meshify is a bit more pricey but the P350x is fantastically priced and in my honest opinion is a great deal.

- FD Meshify C/S2 (because of that front panel is cool looking) but already mainstream.

lian li pc o11 dynamic

Seconded. Glad I made the switch from the NZXT H700 (which is also nice, don't get me wrong) to the Lian Li PC-O11 dynamic. 

 

Simple, easy to build in and it looks fantastic in general. Once you put more effort into it (RGB to person's taste), waterloops and/or etc. it is v sexy.

^^^^ Yus, it's a gorgeous case for watercooling, some companies make awesome distro blocks for it too so you can make it look really tidy as well. 

 

Evolv ATX (I have one) and the new Evolv X are gorgeous too. Same with the Shift/Shift X cases. Really loved my S340 Elite as well.
