NZXT 440 is a beauty, but cases are very personal, plus you should tell us a bit about your build...

ATX or M-ATX?

Watercooling optimized?

do you want silence or airflow? etc....

 

Buuuuut,

You can never go wrong with Corsair or NZXT

Ew no. Atleast for me. Too expensive and most of their chassis are ugly.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

Cases are a very personal thing, just go with whatever you like, esthetically. within your price range. It's not that hard to just open a store page and look at the different cases.

Less hate, more extremely dislike 90% of their products.

Ew no. Bad build quality and lots of plastic.

I like ft02, ft04, and upcoming ft05 from SilverStone

I love the RV05, but only a short while ago I checked my money and realised I cannot get it, as it is £90+ which is too much for me right now. However, around the £100 I would go for a corsair 450D or C70 with extra fans in the front, a phanteks enthoo pro, fractal design define R4 titanium with a window, or the silverstone FT03 for mATX.

The Corsair C70 is an exception imo with it being built with mostly steel.

Yeah, but looks are only for some.
