I'm tempted to say my HAF 932 Advanced, if only to justify my purchase decision. I regret buying it now though.Yeah it's flashy, and it;s got water grommets out the wazoo, and can fit a small ethnic family insidee it, but as I've gotten older I've come to appreciate the sleek, understated designs of the Define R4 (got to build in one recent and I want it now) or one of the Corsair D series. 

 

My vote goes to the Define R4, the sound dampening and the overall build of it is extremely nice, and it's big enough to fit nearly anything I'd want in it.

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

No pics here haha. I like the Corsair 330R I have now, but really want that Corsair 450D that was leaked for my next build.

Never say it's not broken. Everything is broken. Why? Because everything needs MOAR POWA!

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

I like the way the Bitfenix colossus mATX looks but I hated a lot of aspects of the case while building in it.

Personally I think my favorite case is the Case Labs Magnum STH10. So overkill, but yet so awesome!

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.

P1000079.jpg

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.

My CM Storm Stryker does the job for me. I love the rigid handle for carrying the thing around, and the sheer size and space that it has :D

 

I also wouldn't mind a 900D or Cosmos II
