But I like many of these cases except the R4 I think its kinda, I said KINDA overrated. Its too plain in my opinion. Just a lil box that holds PC parts. 

 

I did and it still sucks. FYI they aren't hard drive cages, it is a bar

My point is you can still have good amounts of storage with a good GPU and thats what I like about it :D

Definitely the Fractal Design Define R4. It is the only case I've had that has outlasted everything I've put inside it.

I'd always liked and wanted a Soldam case (WIndy, the company that made Soldam cases is now defunct) so, a long time back, I'd the chance to buy one, I jumped on it. It was a Soldam XR-1 Black Knight and the thing is a work of art.

A shot of the side with the panels removed, very nice and smooth black outer panel with a metalic-like red panel inside. Build quality is the best I've seen personally. You can tell this is an old system I had since it had 2x HD2900XT's in CF mode back then.

P1000075.jpg

A shot from the front, I'd removed the red and black side panels as well as the front panel/cover, the metalic red is simply beautiful, the pic doesn't do it justice. Pardon the crap DVD drive, the color was way off, I had to spray one of my ODD's black for it to match the finish on the Soldam. I had also later gotten a Soldam Bay Leaf which is the ODD cover to complete the look. I don't know why I'd not taken a pic with it though, I still have this case btw, was offered a nice sum for it but since it's a collector's item, and my very first really expensive case, I chose to keep it for sentimental reasons.

P1000076.jpg

The complete case, very industrial looking with no fancy window side panel with LED lighting, one of my first 'serious' looking case.

I also liked Caselabs cases, the M8 and STH10 caught my eyes, so when I'd a chance to get the M8, I went for it as well....with my first open loop for my GPU's.

Now i have case-modding as a hobby (even tho i still consider myself to be somewhat new in the area), so i prefer unique cases with own designs and ideas.

 

But if i'd have to just pick one off the market that i would use myself, then I guess it would be the NZXT H440. Its not the most "awesome" looking stock case out there.

However it has a really clean / smooth and sexy look going for it with the  stock logo thats lighted lighting, BIG clear side-window and a default good looking psu cover, not to mention it has a good amount of watercooling options for being a mid-tower case.
