aesthetically or to build in? to build in probably the H440, aesthetically the Cougar Conquer or the Inwin Tou 2.0

The Meshify C. Wish I hadn't bought my S340 6 months ago so I could have bought the case when it came out

[VoxelProgrammer]

I love my Fractal Design Meshify and My Fractal Define R5.  Both beautiful cases that fit my use cases perfectly.

Air 540. Top tier midrange. Finally found another cube case that seems amazing. Really wish I can make a rig in it. 

[Herman Mcpootis]

loving the define C so far. good build quality, stupid easy to work in, very clean if you know what you're doing.

[Galion]

Just want to know what are the favorites among the masses, 

Mine are the fractal design meshify c and mini c, high air ventilation, clean lines, good cable management, manageable size and the atx version comes in two colours (blackout and white).

My favorite is the Phanteks P350x and the Nzxt H500

I'm going pretty old-school here, but I always liked the NZXT Lexa. My brother built in one and it looked great, the screen in the top for temps and fanspeed was a nice, and it was the first PC I'd used which had hidden drives.

 

They should bring it back with an updated design.

NZXT S340 Elite, the boxy and minimal design is super simple and aesthetically-pleasing when a full system is inside it, and the tempered glass side panel is beautifully-shaped. The cable management routes are clear and concise, and allow enough room for all the cables to be neatly organised. I also particularly like that the white comes in all-white, with only some portions of the case being a black to contrast the white base.

It's a timeless design that will never look dated.

Good old Corsair 750D!

Simple and clean looks + much room for radiators and water-cooling + a big oll window to show of my loop

[Cyberspirit]

Mine is the Corsair 280x. Too bad it doesn't have a mesh front like the Air 240 did.

[Firewrath9]

Corsair 570X mirrored ver.

Also your components will overheat because there's no airflow

Use it without the front panel, easy peasy!

The front portion of that case is a little too cluttered for my taste, but I can see how it's useful from a storage expandability persepective.

I'm actually thinking of doubleside taping my SSDs in the front to show them off, what do you think?

[Tristerin]

Cases that meet those items you listed and are affordable.  Im not into buying the best cases to stare at.  My favorite case atm is the Rosewill Nautilus (the first edition) - goes on sale for $25 every few months.  Super budget but builder friendly case.

 

EDIT - I love my CoolerMaster HAF XM - I would buy another if they still sold them.  Best case I have ever owned I should say

[Unaki]

I'm really partial to the Thermaltake Level 10.  It just looks super spiffy and is aesthetically pleasing to me.  I just wish the new Level 20 wasn't $1000 USD otherwise I would upgrade in a heartbeat.  And yeah, I know the GT edition exists which is more reasonable at $190 but it just looks like any other case with a tempered glass window.  Before I got the L10 I really liked the Silverstone Raven because it was just the right amount of weird with its vertical mobo mount and "heat rises" cooling concept.  Ended up giving that to a friend when I got the L10.

[AvogadrosDog]

NZXT H700 - liked the look so much I just bought one and am transferring my build from my Meshify C to it. 

 

I also love the Meshify C but find it too small for bigger GPUs combined with a radiator at the front and the black one with tinted TG looks sick compared to the white and black one I have (meh).
