800D

Cooling - Only if you have WC in mind and for that is awesome, air cooling not so good.

Looks - Very good

Price - Now the price isn't that bad, a few years ago it did scare me

Build Quality - Incomparable to nothing else

Looks ?

IMHO you can knock these out of the running.

CORSAIR 800D
SILVERSTONE TJ07
SILVERSTONE TJ11
XSPC H1 AND H2
DANGER DEN 29

For that money you'd think the design would include something other than right angles. Might aswell just machine it yourself at that point. Thats unless your into that sort of stuff.

COOLER MASTER COSMOS 2
NZXT SWITCH 810
