Corsair Obsidian Series for me. I just really like the way they look. 750D is my favorite, it has lots of options, without being overly huge like the 900D is.

Great input guys!

 

What we need next is a case that has 

 

  1. Silence of H440
  2. Look of Obsidian or 760T
  3. Compatibility of all these
  4. Great cable management
  5. Perfect size
  6. Price of 100 dollars

 

Thats not happening any time soon though!

 

Phanteks Pro is my choice!

Obsidian series has the flimsiest build quality in the over $100 range, corsair cheaps out too much on the case, and charges too much for their cases.

Silence > aesthetics.

 

Performance > Silence.

Aesthetics =/= performance.

 

Oh I know, that's why I didn't compared them.  As I said, Performance > Silence(my opinion), I very much prefer a case with a lot of airflow than say a H440, even if it sounds like a jet(depending on other components of course).

 

Although it is debatable I admit, you definitely can have an incredibly good performance on a silence build.  My post was not intended to criticize your choice, nor to say that it is a bad one, but to merely say my opinion. Also note that my opinion is based solely on cases, as this thread is based on, not on a whole build.
