I have a Trendsonic Shinobi... Its ok, it has very basic cable management, but the problem is the PCI slots, it doesnt use screws, it uses a slide in plate and because of it, I had to take a screw out of my 550 ti...

500r and love it for my current setup. If I go hardcore custom loop this is not an ideal case for that. But I will still go Corsair I sorta have some fan boy tendencies.

It will be interesting to see the results for how much permeance each manufacturer has. I guess there will likely be some sample bias though. 

NZXT Phantom 410 by the way.

First case was a Rosewill Challenger. Not a bad pre 2010 case for $50, but the features are old and cable management isn't great. Now I own a 600T (rig in sig) and I LOVE it!!!!. Hoping to make this case last as long as possible.

WHY WOULD YOU EVER NEED 3 RIGS!?

Well, why not? In case I'm doing some video recoding on one, I can always use another for gaming......main rig's for EyeFinity surround gaming, 2nd rig's for S3D gaming and the 3rd rig's for when I'm using one, or both main rigs for video encoding and such. #rd rig's using an old C2Q X9650, so it's not great for ripping video, but with the cards I have installed in it. it's hell for games @ 1080P/1200P.

Main Rig: AMD AM4 R7 5700X3D (8C/16T) + TR Phantom Spirit 120 EVO | Gigabyte X570 Aorus Xtreme | 2x 16GB Kingston Fury Beast DDR4 3600 | XFX MERC 310 RX 7900 XTX | 256GB Sabrent Rocket NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen 3.0 (OS) | 4TB Lexar NM790 NVMe M.2 PCIe4x4 | 2TB TG Cardea Zero Z440 NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4x4 | 4TB Samsung 860 EVO SATA SSD | 2TB Samsung 860 QVO SATA SSD | 6TB WD Black HDD | CoolerMaster H500M | Corsair HX1000 Platinum | Logitech G915 + G303 Shroud Ed + 8BitDo Ultimate 2.4G | iFi Micro iDSD Black Label | Philips Fidelio B97 | C49HG90DME 49" 32:9 144Hz Freesync 2 | Omnidesk Pro 2020 48" | 64bit Win11 Pro 23H2

2nd Rig: AMD AM4 R9 5900X (12C/24T) + TR PA 120 SE | Gigabyte X570S Aorus Elite AX | 2x 16GB Patriot Viper Elite II DDR4 4000MHz | Sapphire Nitro+ RX 6900 XT | 500GB Crucial P2 Plus NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen 4.0 (OS)2TB Adata Legend 850 NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4x4 |  2TB Kingston NV2 NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4x4 | 4TB Leven JS600 SATA SSD | 2TB Seagate HDD | Logitech G613 + G703 | SOLDAM XR-1 Black Knight | Enermax MAXREVO 1500 | 64bit Win11 Pro 23H2

NZXT Phantom.

 

Antec should be up on the list imo.
