I keep looking at that list and thinking, "meh".
We haven't seen anything new, design wise, for a while it seems especially for water cooling.
If I got any of those cases today though, it would be the Ethnoo.

I'd like to see only removable drive bays. Why are we so stuck on the fixed drive bays on the front? More fan headers on the back side of the case would be nice too.

Every single one of those "best cases" are overpriced and I wouldn't pay that much for any one of them.

I am glad with my FD r5 blackout ed. with fully air CO(3x140+2x120), but the only thing, which makes me a little upset - quality of painting(outside painting of 10years cases was much better and resistant)...

Pfffff. $70 CAD for this bad girl, right here:
http://deepcool.com/product/case/2015-11/9_4408.shtml
There are a lot of nice features with that case. Not quite my personal taste but for the price it's not bad at all. Not a fan of a lot of the cases in the list. The S340 did kind of set a precedent that has been emulated heavily among other manufacturers and having owned the razor edition for a former build I really liked it. Very simple and minimalist.

+1......... Not impressed really with any of those. At most of those prices I don't want to see ANY plastic on my case. The Enthoo Elite is about the only one that interests me but not at 900. I don't see anything about it that demands that tag, and I even went and looked up a review or two of it to see if I was missing something, lol.

Right now RGB is the major selling point but you can still find plain jane PC cases.

Am I the only one that noticed they ranked the under $200 case better then the over $200 case? Unless the goal was just to list computer cases that are out why even have a over $200 case if the cheaper case beats it both in the review score and the user score?

I want better cable management options. Even high end cases just don't have the space to hide cables well enough. Even if you spend hours getting it done correctly.
Tool-less design is a must for drive trays, etc. I prefer vertical trays but a lot of cases are horizontal. etc.

i agree the list was pretty much meh for me too. ive already researched or read reviews on almost all of them so im biased. anyhow my new favorite is my current case. thermaltake x71 https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133331love everything about it except for the butt ugly fans that come with it. this replaced my beloved haf x only because no matter what i did i couldnt fit both of my 360s in it :( that phanteks pro m is a badxx case but i like to go with the https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811854003when i need 5.25 bays. the window is one of the few i dont like so i go with the non window version. phanteks as a whole are well engineered and built. you really cant go wrong with any of them imo.

This is the best case IMHO: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16811119225 
Still using mine. It's the gen with the USB 3 ports that you had to loop out the back. I need to get a replacement top panel so I can get internal USB 3 headers for the front panel. I'm just running the 2.0 cables on it right now instead to have 4 USB 2.0 ports up front :(

Dell provides the best computer cases.
I assume that is a joke since the basic Dell case doesn't really fit the needs of a gaming case and while the Area 51 cases can be pretty good I wouldn't say they are the best.
