well how about you say what you do and dont like for the ones above, then people will know what track you're on

I'd go for the CM690 its a brilliant case. (the Nvidia version is even nicer) but if you want the power button on the top, how about a CM Storm Scout? its also a nice case

This does look fairly slick alright!

I have this case, and I can tell you that it is a joy to build a system inside it!!

If you are considering watercooling somewhere down the line, then I recommend the Silverstone TJ07.

Well I am more leaning towards the more elegant look of the Corsair 800D or atcs 840 than the likes of the 1200, Scout, Sniper etc! But I am not completely eliminating them! Money might be the overall deciding factor! :rolleyes:

Antec 1200 or the HAF 932

Well I'd recommend you look at the Silverstone Fortress or Fractal Design then, along same styling at cheaper price points

I like the top of the Fortress, the positioning of the power button etc! Not really all that much cheaper than the other cases though! Where I buy most of my stuff seems to be out of them Fractal cases till Jan. They are an option alright!

Coolermaster Scout gets a +1!

I love this case. Plenty of space inside. Power button on top, along with eSATA and FOUR USB ports. All the fans that come with it glow red, but there's also a button to turn that glow off. Lovely case. Space for a TRUE (but one of the two side panel fans won't fit if you have one) and also space for a GTX260 with clearance.

Those aren't stylish :confused:

If I was forced at gunpoint to narrow my list down it would be:

Corsair 800D / ATCS 840

Antec 1200 / HAF 932

I have to vote for the Silverstone Fortress. Built it recently and it's been really nice to work with. All the cable management you could ever want in a nice stylish case with a reset button the top. Have a look around for reviews online for nice pictures..
