NZXT, Corsair, or Phantek case brand?

Rank the brands for the top 3 case brands.

Can't do that all of them make some good cases, it comes down to the looks you like and the features you need.

All good cases so it's down to the looks you like.

All nice cases. It depends on your components too. The Phanteks P400 has good cooling, but I wouldn't put a R9 390X in one. Watch some youtube videos on them. The Hardware Canucks videos are usually very good.

I mean it's very subjective, but here's my personal ranking.

1. Phanteks
2. Fractal Design (boo, how can you leave them out)
3. NZXT
4. Corsair

I feel like Corsair sort of kickstarted the "modern" wave of cases that are easier to build in, but other brands have caught up or maybe even overtaken Corsair in the past couple of years. But all of these companies make great cases.

Picking a case is the most personal hardware choice. Keep it that way and pick on you like.

I own , 2 Corsairs : A C70 and 750D Airflow Edition , 1 NZXT H630 White Window Edition , and a Phanteks ENTHOO PRO.

They are all solid cases , that fit my build requirements at the time , pick what you like and supports your component needs.

I'd rank the cases:
1. Phanteks
The best build quality out of the lost, and they make great looking cases with modularity, looks and cooling all taken into account. Had great experience with their Evolv ATX and ITX cases, which have a nice window, especially with the tempered glass edition which I currently own. ^.^

2. Fractal Design
Fractal Design is a tricky one, they make good quality cases, but they are quite limited in their relatively simple and small form factors, using the Define R5 as an example. If a clean setup is your thing, definitely a brand to consider.

3. NZXT
Good reputation among the community with solid cases. Their H440 and S340 cases are extremely popular these days, with their Phantom line of cases being arguably the most recognisable under the NZXT brand. However their cases have become somewhat stale, with refreshes of the Phantom looking the same, showing their age, being a bit tacky.
The Noctis 450 case released last year is a good example of how they are innovating in this regard with updated visuals and cooling.

4. Corsair
Corsair are a great brand when it comes to cooling products and RAM, but their case department still needs some work imo.
Their high end cases are top notch, don't get me wrong, but often if you want to buy an Obsidian case (their mid-high end range), then your wallet will be feeling it for a while.
Their more budget oriented cases such as the Spec and carbide series look decent enough, don't get me wrong, but the cooling and build quality is lacking, with many of their windows being plastic instead of the flexiglass, acrylic or tempered glass seen on other equally priced products.
