I'll go with anything Dell as was said a few times already....

Also, the CM HAF 932 since I want to replace it with something else and can't kill it! :p
Bitch please, I still have a CM Centurion 5 that only has a few places of semi-bad paint and a slightly warped part near the PCI-e slot. It will certainly make it in the next decade and still be good. Love it.

Remember when Compaq use to make those old cases that were over engineered. With everything screwed down and steal cages for drives that fit together like a tank. It weighed a ton. I think it almost put them out of business

Presario 5000 Line. Things were indeed like tanks while the parts inside were not always worth it lol.

:laugh: I hear ya bro! I have two, original and the AMD, and both have served me very well. One of my favorite cases. Tons of room and good air flow. Not bad cable management as well.

HP Compaq DC5800 SFF version. Worse cases, worst airflow, worse dust collection, suicidal PSU's, and the worst HDD mounting system ever devised in human history.

My worst experience was with a cheap case & PSU combo for about 60-70$. It looked fine, but the PSU was on top, no cable management options and the worst of all - HDD mounting was so bad, that I had to screw them in place to the case it self. Maybe I just couldn't figure out how the mounting system worked, but still. Ventilation? Whats that? You mean the grill at the back? Yes I has that - said the case. The lesson to learn - never buy cheap case 7 PSU combos..

I've been extremely impressed with the Cooler Master N200. I used to default to Rosewill for solid budget cases, which they still have some good options, but the Cooler Master N200 is a damin good case. I highly recommend it.

I have 2 Rosewill Challengers. Probably the easiest cases I've ever worked with and awesome airflow with a top fan. Cheap too but well thought out.

I have to agree with the HAF 932. I wish I could kill mine since I got the original unpainted version. I want a black interior lol
