Corsair Carbide air series 540 - Charcoal
NZXT Phantom 410 - Black

Personally I was not to fond of the Phantom 410, several aspects put me off wanting to roll with them anymore. For one the glass panel on the side rattles, pretty easy fix with some epoxy or caulk. Next is the drive rack. I have come to a point that I do not think any case with more than a $100 price range should have non-removable cages. The cage also creates vibration noise. Their are no filters readily available that will fit the front intake fans, while the comb prevents a considerable amount it is not as efficient as I would like.

The Carbide 540 does much better on these points, but is limited to two 3.5" drives. This is fine for most folks but there is room in the back for at least 3-4 more. So instead of leaving holes in the bottom to let dust in they could have just put them in the back as well. Otherwise, a fantastic case that is very easy to work in and manage.
 
NZXT H440. It is honestly the best case i have ever owned. I got in on Newegg for $99 on sale with free shipping and it is the best purchase i have ever made.
 
3 noname Chinese, two desktop, one tower, they were cheap and attractive.
1 Mac G4 at the height of PC Mod, my iPC.
1 Hush ATX, because I'm in love with fanless and big heat sinks.
1 HD-PLEX H1 ITX, another fanless for the bedroom.
 
Here are the cases that I use:

You're obviously not crazy about cable management either. 😀
 


Not really, I do try to hide them as the best I can, but if you have ever owned a SuperNova 1300g2 and a fan controller and the sata drives being so close to the panel, its not vary easy to hide wires int his case. Also the SSD's really had no other place to put them so Kinda stuck down there. That sata power cable, reason why its there, I hate taking the other side off lol.

I really should get a full tower, but I really don't like huge cases. Despite all the wires, its not really hindering airflow.
 
I've got a Raidmax ATX502WBG. It's a pretty decent case, and surprisingly spacious.

However, the second I get the money for it, I'm changing it out for a NZXT Phantom 530 White. That case is pretty much my dream case.
 


As an H440 owner I'd gladly take anything NZXT makes over anything Raidmax makes in half a second.
 
Obviously. When I bought the Raidmax, I was limited by what was on sale for black friday, and what was in my budget. If I wasn't limited by those conditions, I would go with NZXT.
