I like the Antec 900, the Lian Li V2000, the Silverstone TJ-07, the Coolermaster Cosmos. All are great cases IMO!

OH I like that case from Hiper. The price though makes this case a bit out of my ideal price range. :S

I'm interested in this case here after reading a few reviews on it:
Newegg.com - Aplus CS-Monolith Black SECC Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Retail
The 900 and TT Armor are also a few of my faves, and the CM 690 is awesome for the price. I also have a soft spot for NZXT, having used the Guardian for my first build back in '04.

Of course, nothing compares to this bad boy right here:
Newegg.com - POWMAX CP101-KK Black SGCC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 400W Power Supply - Retail

The monotlith looks a lot like the Xclio Wind Tunnel...

And I hope you're kidding about that last case lol.

Urg, the Monolith is ugly as hell, IMO... Hopefully it cools better than it looks...

I would have, but had a $15 off cupon for Newegg so I got it from there instead. I do have a major mod planned for this case and I'll be starting a worklog hopefully before the end of the year. I'll be removing the front door completely and making an entirely new front panel and cutting out a lot of intricate designs on the front, top, and both side panels. The lighting will be orange and I will powdercoat the whole exterior of the case a dark gray (glossy finish). There will also be black acrylic and black mesh accents all over the place. Focus is on low noise, but there will be a total of four case fans (two front, one top, one rear), all 120mm.

Functionality over aesthetics my friend, a philosophy that'll get you far with computers and women

The cooling from what I read is really good, with twin 25cm it should be. The problem would be finding fans to properly replace them, and since I hang on to cases forever I'd go with a 900 over it for that fact.
If you want ugly, take a look at this monstrosity: Newegg.com - POWMAX CP0327PL-4 Window Black/Silver SGCC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 400W Power Supply - Retail
Picking on Powmax is way too easy

antec 900
lanbox
armor

after building the rig LC sent to HL in a lanbox, i'd be willing to reccomend it to anyone willing to tinker to get the wiring just right.

in all honesty, a bit of modding and it's such a nice case.
i plan on building my pre-college rig in one, modding it to fit some bigger exhaust fans, and a larger intake one in the front, and perhaps a top window....we shall see...they are wicked though, that's my final opinion
