Not a dream case but the Xigmatek Elysium looks decent enough to host a custom water cooling system with some neat cable management from what I've seen here recently and I'm certainly considering this.
What is your dream case?

Corsair 650D with Lian Li wheels underneath! Doesn't exist. Yet.
Permabanned
650D was my dream case and I have it. I do wish they make a revised version though which would have:
1. Better options for front intake as a minimum 2X120mm
2. Include ranges of filters for the front, psu and side mesh intake (side mesh doesn't even have a filter)
3. Options to include front slot drives which match the front facia
4. Getting rid of the stock fan controller
5. Options to include card readers
6. Internal mounting holes/brackets to fan cool hard drives/ssd's
7. Trolley wheels
8. RGB controlled front LED's and internal fluorescent tube lighting
9. Slightly wider side enclosure to prevent buckling when hiding wires behind the case
10. Greater range in colours
11. One more under mounted fan intake
12. More sleek with some curves at the front for that added appeal.

i actually love my nvidia edition haf x- could'nt bear to see it go
I suppose someone had to like it
I wish they had made a TJ07 that was just a bit taller, say room for a second PSU up top, that could take a full size 360 in the roof without spoiling its great lines and looks.
So basically an updated TJ07, the TJ11 just doesn't do it for me, I don't like the upside down layout, or the big gap in the middle and for a case that big it just seems its too cramped inside, its like a jag, beautifully made but with the size and cost of it they could have done better imho.
The Elysium I'm just working with at the moment, its well made, loads of space and if I wasn't doing something crazy with it, would have been the perfect build. Looks wise its a bit of a marmite case, less so than the Lian Li P80, and a lot less so than the "only a mother could love" HAF-X

A better quality FT03.
Cubes!!
A case just big enough to water cool, with the mobo occupying the top half (or side if you turn it over) and the other half semi insulated from the mobo section, with room for PSU fans rads etc. Mobo half with windows, and OTHER half with lots of vents with filters on.
One that's only big enough for a MATX case and one gpu and one that's big enough for an EATX mobo with two wide GPUs
Both made of lots of carbon fibre.

The future (hopefully) COSMOS III, with decent radiator mounting space above the motherboard. Hopefully by the time of it's release I'll be able to afford an upgrade with a custom loop.
For now, I already have my dream case, it's HUGE.

I'd like the original prototype BMW thermaltake case in silver The level 12 before they made smaller ones.

My perfect case would be the Corsair Obsidian 800D (6GB/s) Full Tower Case. It would easily serve all my needs.
yes it is,3 feet tall
it's higher than my desk
think im going to research the web site and come up with some ideas
*update* Corsair Vengeance C70 Arctic White does it for me now 
Me too! Will be buying one with 4-5 Corsair AF140's when I can afford it lol. I think it's a really lovely case. 7-8 140mm fans in there. I'm waiting for them to release the window bundled version near the end of the year.
200mm fan up top, with 3 corsair AF120 is my plan, use 1 of the 140mm stock fans in the bottom to create some good airflow. Using my white bequiet 600w psu, will be nice inside.
