If you want high end, Lian Li and Case Labs. For price to performance, Fractal and Phanteks. NZXT if you want that gamer aesthetic.

I like Rosewill for their wide variety of looks and sizes for different budgets including server cases.

Fractal would be my second choice for variety and exceptional workmanship.

Lastly, I'd pick Phanteks and, unfortunately, Corsair for having a very prominent "center-piece" feel to their cases.

I support this, might also add be quiet! cases as well. These tend to be the most consistent. Cooler Master and Lian li both make good cases but there's also a lot of duds too scattered in their sku's (lian li due to price mostly)

In Win cause I have one of theirs and it's stunning ;-)

 

They are the Rolls Royce of computer cases (at least the signature cases) - not practical, arguably overpriced and hardly the best when it comes to specs but damn if it's not good to look at one with hard tubing custom waterloop and color coordinated.

How can Zalman be in "favourite case group?" It's like saying that "Honda Civic is the car that you're dreaming all your life"

To me, in no particular order: Caselabs, LianLi and probably Silverstone. Followed by Phanteks, Fractal and NZXT.

I just love Corsair cases. Specially the fact that u have compatibility with a huge line of accesories. I use the air 740 for my current build and absolutly love it. lots of room, great cable management, not so good air filters, and it looks awesome

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it. :D

The above post that included Rosewill, Zalman and Xion was being humorous. The "on a serious note" was the real list of what the poster believes are the best quality case manufacturers. I can attest to NZXT cases. I am building a new system and I put an NZXT case in my signature setup because I put in a AIO liquid cooler. I have a lot of dust in my house and I couldn't find any dust in my case after 5 months in my NZXT S340.

Otherwise in no particular order:

Corsair

Phanteks

Fractal Design

 

Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly; the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly.
