God none of them
1. I hate Xaser-everything
2. I thought i liked the Tsunami cases (which were a ripoff of coolermaster but i let that slide)... then i built a pair of Tsunami systems and god so much stuff is screwed down when it should be clipped and stuff that should be screweed down was clipped and screwed (not to mention the case uses the "180flip door")

Why don't you like any of them?? They're fancy, screwless ( except for floppy) and include fans!! If not these, which case could you suggest?? I absolutely want one with a window!

How about this one:

Antec Super LANBOY ----- http://www.antec-inc.com/pdf/flyers/SuperLanboy.pdf

Little (don't know if it matters) problem: On the PDF, they say - Up to Standard ATX (12" x 9.6" / 30,5 x 24,4 cm), and on my MOBO's website, they say ATX Form Factor, 12"x 9.6"(30.5cm x 24.5cm)!! That makes one too many cm!! Will it still fit?
I just saw 12" x 9.6" was the same, so why does the cm value vary?

 

[The Astroman]

One of the advantage of the Antec Super LANBOY is its price! So if you said that it was better than the Xasers, I wouldn't wind that much. But still, the Xasers are beautiful (I think) and I've read good comments about them, AND the price is higher (I might be giving the idea that expensive=better)! So, what is your final verdict?

get something with more than 3 hard drive bays.

you want a great case???

3 HDD bays is unnescessary! I've only got 2 HDDs, so where's the need to have 3 bays? By the way, I've fallen in love with the Blue Xaser... So I've decided to buy it at xmas. Do you think I've done the right thing? I talked to other people on other forums, and this guy told me he had it and he loved it and would highly recommend it... That just made me realise how much it would be a good buy! So unless you got a blue, black or silver case with a window THAT'S BETTER, I'm taking this one! But I'll have to wait until Xmas to get it.

Why I hate xaser
1. They're hideous IMO

2. The "highschool punk" syndrome: too many cases of where some dumbass kid has a pice of crap systsem shoved into a nice case and thinks he's got soemthing useful ... also very common that they dont know jack about comps and that they arent paying for it

3. If you look at the case and in particular, the front plate ..... you get stuck with that pattern (and again, imo, its goddamn hideous)

4. At one point I liked Xaser cases I dunno why but I think it was somethign along the lines that I went through a "phase" .... now I can appreciate sleekness and elegance in a case.

5. I liked the Tsunamis (even though they are ripoffs of Coolermaster cases) except that (a) the doors are mounted 'backwards' and (b) shit that should just be clipped is clipped and screwed (im sure this is the case with the other cases too)

Enough ranting on my part ... if you like it and are happy with it thats what matters
