If you have a Cooler Master case post it here & say why you chose your case & if you have a link that would be great, too!
 
Well I wanted a case that have this criteria: All black inside, hard drive bay mounted on the side, PSU mounted on the bottom, something look different then all the other cases out there, & most of all great cable management that's why I chose the Storm Sniper SGC-6000-KXN1-GP Black Steel!

    Well, since my last 2 rigs were using CM cases --- I'm in, my man...

      My current Mods Rig is using the CM Storm Scout because I  loved the features & looks.

    Then my last one used the CM Cosmos S -  I always wanted to try that beast out . I loved it & regret selling it on here.   http://www.evga.com/ModsRigs/detail.aspx?BuildID=15222

    Yeah Steve, the Cosmos S is a beautiful case. I really like it. Just wish it could fit a quad rad internally.

    Right here Bear! But like I said, I've got some stuff to do first. I'm getting a nice addition from EVGA via UPS tomorrow, and I've got to cable manage a little along with moving a fan or two around. I'll be sure to post when it's done though!

    Soon as i get a new camera ill put mine up doing some cleaning up inside the case and haven't had a chance to update my pics to include my 570s.  Also trying to get some sleeved extensions because this Antec TPQ is horrid for cable management with the giant powercaches.

    My current build is in an ATCS 840 Powdercoated blue (view in my mods rigs).  I just put my sons back in The original 690.  Also have a Storm Sniper that ill be moving my rig into to save a little space, and I still have a 830 Stacker in my closet.
     
    I chose the ones i did because there had the best features out there when they were available.  They are very innovative, and the price/performance value is unmatched. 
     
    I would love to see a mid tower version of the ATCS 840 as well.  But with cutouts like the HAF X.  Would be the best of everything.
     
    Also, if CM would just make a nice Matx case for the higher end micro boards that would be great.  Something to Kick The NZXT Vulcans bootay in performance and looks.

    HAF X for me too.
     
    I got it because I was looking to watercool my rig and I wanted to be able to fit a 360mm radiator in it without having to modify anything. Also, the case looks bad a**! I'm extremely happy with my purchase. I came from a budget case before (Xion Onyx) which was also a mid tower. The full tower HAF X is so much easier to work with, and it has all the features that I would want in a case.

    Man! My setup is quickly becoming dated. Although a GTX 295/260 setup is a bit overkill for my current favorites, League of Legends and Magicka.

    Here's mine, its a coolermaster 690 II Advanced.
     
    Reason for buying was the price and all the glowing reviews on many web sites, and also the look (nothing to stand out)
     
    I came from a budget case, the GMC r3 corona which was ok but everything was running 20c higher than it should, now with this case every thing is nice and cool.

    Coolermaster 690 II case

    sorry for quality of my phone

    Another HAF-X:
     
    There are five rigs running in my house and 3 of them are using CM chassis.  I wanted this case just for air cooling basically.  Although I threw an H70 on there, I wanted the "High Air Flow" for the 580s since I have no plans of putting them on water.
     

     

     
    I've got another CM case running a SB at the moment, but she's not finished yet.  I just love this little case.  The SB is surprisingly nice as well; no matter what people say.  However, this one will be a work in progress for a while until I get the board replaced and a few other things added:
     

     
    I also had fun painting an old CM Stacker case about 3 years ago:

    YUP I GOT ONE!!....I HAVE A CM 690II....and i absolutely love it...i have the basic, im kind of  jealous of those who went with the advanced (it has a built in docking station for an external hdd)...but there is plenty of room and mesh sides fronts backs for great air flow.....places for about ten fans .....the potential for me to grow into this case is phenominal.....whether i chose to go with a full blown water cooling system or just load up on internal fans and video cards...plus it was like 60 bucks(new egg)!!...can beat it for quality vs price performance

    Now that I look back, I'm rather jealous of you guys with the HAF X. It really does make a difference in cable management.
     

     
    Ignore the mass of cables over on the right. You can't see that with my side panel+window on.  I'll get another picture another time when she's running and I'm not so tired.

    Newly modded ATCS 840 with SR-2. Water cooling on the way. The top compartment was made from another 840 and will house the H20 equipment.

    Love how you made top compartment out of another case looks sweet m8.
     
    Waiting on my new case got a ATCS 840 (black) on the way, its currently getting powder coated black inside its also having the psu filter modded to come out of the back and extra hole in the mobo tray for the sata cables. Ive always liked the look of the ATCS cases and it was between that and the HAF X, I went with the ATCS in the end as I really prefer it to the HAF case.
     
    Im looking for some fan recommendations for the x2 fans on the HD cage and the back exhaust I have already got the fan for the bottom of the case went with the Scythe 140/120mm. Also can anyone recommend a couple of pwm fans for my cpu cooler please.

    I just got back from micro center with a cm case so I could post pics here. Will do it friday.
    I'm so excited and can't hardly wait.

    This thread makes me want to buy a new case already. Preferably a CM case.

    I bought a CM 690II Advanced.  Great looks, price, and ability to expand into watercooling were big reasons for my purchase.  Still a work in progress (Thursday is SLI day!).  Not as impressive of hardware of a lot the previous posters but I am happy with it!
