I  Just finished transferring my build to a HAF X and I gotta say, its the next best thing to a Mountains Mod case. I didn't manage the cables too great, but even then, It still looks ridiculously clean.

    I got my Fractal Define XL for my new build, Haven't had the chance to build in it yet but I did swap the fans and remove an HDD cage for room to mount radiators, so far I love the thing.

    SilverStone Raven RV01... looks and feels great. Could use some minor adjustments when they designed/developed it though. Like the heatsink mounting hole in the back frame most of them cases have. And the removable shroud on top... they could've put a hinge on there so it would just flip up like the hood of a car.

    I love the HAF cases. Lots of room for fans and cabling.

    My favorite of all time (so far).  Is the the CM Praetorian.  I got one years ago.  I was very impressed with the fit and finish, and how over all it was very quiet.  The case is to small and has limited ventilation, so it wouldn't very good for modern GPU's or CPU's.  I still have the case.  I'm trying decide whether or no to put it under the knife.

    CM Storm Enforcer. It's like an offshoot of the HAF series but with smoother lines and looks like it has armor plating.

    Antec 1200, I've done a good amount of modding on it to fit my liquid cooling kit. I think the Corsair 800D is my second favorite.

    Silverstone TJ11.
     
    That's a major want for me.. ANd a single stage phase unit for my CPU.
     
    But the corresponding $600 and $900 price tags prevent me from getting awesome toys like that.

    the downside to the antec 900 use to be thier was no way to replace the top 200MM on it is why I decided against it, but finally antec decided to release a replacement for it on newegg
