I have several

For Mini ITX: Bitfenix Prodigy With slightly tinted side windows and

For M-ATX: Parvum S1

For ATX: The Fractal Design Arc Midi R2

The Price for the R2 rose back to $90. Wish I bought it when it was $60 :(

Bitfenix Phenom with I/O on the front and a window on the left. But thats just atm, this will likely change with time.

Now only if it were true...

As of real cases, EVGA Hadron Air, maybe... or Corsair 350D... Dunno exactly. Just anything that doesn't suck.

Never trust my advice. Only take any and all advice from me with a grain of salt. Just a heads up.

Define R4, the case I own.

 

I'm excited to see an R5 version, though. It's a great case but still room for improvement.

I have 3 finalists:

1. Caselabs Magnum STH10:

sth10-th10.jpg

That's the most ludacris case I'll never own.

 

2. Corsair Obsidian 750D:

Corsair-Announces-Obsidian-750D-ATX-Full

That's actually an affordable and housable case that I'd pick for my next build.

 

3. Corsair Obsidian 350D:

corsair-obsidian-350d,F-B-380279-13.jpg

The best case for smaller systems.

My dream case for now would be an NZXT Phantom 410, made with largely aluminium (not plastic), and a larger window. Also, with filters and better soundproofing.

I am really jazzed about getting a Fractal Design R4. 

FD-AC-WND-DEF4-ARC-BL_2.jpg

thats about as boring as it gets. I will say it does have good functionality, but damn its personality is that of cement.
