    The Lian-Li PC-8, simply because it's the last of the real ATX standard midi cases.

    It was always the Globalwin 802 for me. Steel, big & roomy, and just so versatile. It was a modder's dream.

    A Gigabyte GMax midi case, beautifully made, extremely heavy but got crushed into a rhombus in shipping when I moved continents. It still worked but didn't look so good any more.

    Personally, the NZXT Phantom full tower, absolutely loving it although it does bug me how you have to buy a window panel separately :/

    CoolerMaster HAF-932. Big n' sturdy. I don't know about later revisions, but mine has an astonishing bright blue LED that flashes when PC is in sleep mode (bit of tape fixed that). Apart from that, can't really fault it.

    For me it has to be the Corsair 800D. So many things now deemed common place on other makers cases.

    I've only ever used either cheap generic brand cases or Antec. My most recent is my favourite - an Antec 300. Decent sized case and doesn't look too boring, yet isn't over the top either.

    Antec P182 Gunmetal. Silent, good looks and love the door on the front, which I used to lock so my brother couldn't turn it on

    Re: Features - QOTW: Name your best PC chassis of all time?

    Antec Aria. Hands down the nicest looking case I've ever owned, and IMNSHO the nicest looking mATX cube ever made. Also packed with useful features, like a built in card reader and front firewire. How much do I love this case? In my recent competition review, it pretty much got an entire post to itself - despite not being part of the prize

    But I will also give an honourable mention to a case I didn't own, but did a lot of work with: the Thermaltake Shark. One of my early employers had a server built into one of these beauties, and I had endless fun messing with it. It was truly gargantuan, was great to work with, and had such lovely styling ... for full ATX cases, definitely a top contender

    I think the article said it really - Lian Li PC60. I must have had mine for about 10 years through all kinds of upgrades. I only upgraded for noise reasons - to get a case with bigger fans (a Lian Li B25, which I've had about 4 years now).
