Case recommendations/your favorite case?

Spev

Working on my new PC build. So far I'm most attracted to Corsair's lineup, like the 760T, or maybe one from their Obsidian series. Recommendations on the best cases?

 

Things I look for in a case:

-See through window

-Made out of metal

-Excellent cooling

 

Thanks for any suggestions.

This is probably well below your budget, but the Corsair 230T and NZXT S340 are what I considered. The 230T wins though with the bright orange.

Phanteks enthoo pro / luxe / primo, NZXT H440, Corsair Graphite 760T , 780T, Anything case labs is very sexy. and finally Lain Li PC-D600. All good cases in my opinion.

the best cases for air cooling, outright, are the silverstone Raven 5 and Fortress 5. I have the raven, and it's small, but still a mid tower, has a solid metal construction to it, although there are some plastic extrusions on it, but it has a window that I find is well placed.

If you want a larger, or more conventional case, then the phanteks enthoo pro/luxe should suit your needs well.

Ft05!

The corsair cases are not really metal. Lots of plastic

NZXT H440 should cover your needs. I recommend the S340 whenever possible though because it's such a good case for cheap. Side panel window (it does get scratched VERY easily though), nice understated looks and nice to work inside with with a power supply cover to boot.
