    I have a NZXT Phantom 410 in White and it's a very capable case. Good ventilation and easy to work with.

    I don't think I've had the pleasure of working on a nicer case than the Cosmos II

    I see the chieftec dragon already mentioned, I had a few dragons circa 03 and they were solid, the ones later were not as heavy, still have a silver dragon w/side fan on door in my basement, also ran a Chieftec Dragon(Large Tower), the Antec P182 also mentioned, liked that also still running as my server down the basement. I have had quite a few cases, the Antec SLK3000B was also good value, the original Gigabyte Aurora was tall, 2x120 exhaust, bought it for the 5 drive bays, but my favourite large case has to be the Akasa Eclipse, loads of room, easy access to top section, wide and easy to hide cables. Having moved to matx and on a Sugo-SG01, I still have the akasa and keep on intending to move to stuff into it. The case I regret not buying, the the original Black widow, looked stunning with the side glass panel.

    I still regret selling my cubit 3. These days you'd be able to fit a bloody good system in one - mini ITX options were so much more limited at the time.

    Anything / everything by Lian Li that had aluminum wheels, dammit.

    The wheels weren't so great for moving your systems around -- the plastic treads they gave you would dissolve inside a couple years, and if you trundled to LAN parties, the softness of the aluminum would quickly get battered from outside surfaces.

    OTOH, the wheels raised a chassis up enough so you could easily swipe dust from under the intake fan and PSU. And it always looked like you were ready to move your system right out the door -- which you could do. And as a style statement, they always said -- "This is Lian Li, bro -- eat this!"

    Original Antec Solo / Coolermaster ATCS 840. Both groundbreaking cases in their time and the 840 was never surpassed.
