I just upgraded my system and used the Thermaltake Urban S31. Love the styling.
 
My favorite case so far is the Azza Genesis 9000.
 
Some nice ones there.
I'm kinda liking the look of the NZXT Phantom 410 Mid Tower (White) at the moment..

I would not recommend that case. From personal experience, It is cramped inside and a tad hard to work with. Go for the full ATX Phantoms instead if you Want the phantom look. Otherwise there are better mid tower cases out there for the money, like the ones I listed earlier.

Ah, OK. The full ones would be too big for me I think.
I just want something kind of unique looking.
 
I love my current thermaltake level 10 GT (sandy bridge), my build this month will be a Corsair 350D (sandy bridge e), and future build will be a watercooled Corsair 750D (haswell e/maxwell).
 
I love the look of the Cosmos 2 however I would probably build in a 900D or 750D depending on space constraints
 
My next build will most likely be either a NZXT Switch 810 or a Corsair 750D
 
Phanteks Enthoo Primo. In preorder status and I can't wait to get my grubby paws on it.
 
I love the Silverstone FT-02 still. I've had mine about 2 years and it's the best case I've ever owned. My only real beef with it was there is not a lot of room on the back of the mobo side for wire management. Maybe another 1/2" wide would have been perfect.
 
I'm dull and enjoy my Fractal Define R4 in white (no window). Super quiet for a modest i7-3770 workstation with a growing number of drives.
 
I just started a build using the Cougar Evolution. Nice layout and the top controls and SATA dock is really slick. Lots of bays, lots of ways to hide cables.
 
Top two cases for me are the corsair air 540 and the corsair 750. Very different looks, but considering getting one of them right now.
 
Silverstone Raven 2 (w/ AP-181 fans and standard HDD cage; the RV02-E and FT02 had one less PCI expansion slot due to the orientation of hot swap HDD cage).

I'm also leaning towards the Antec Nineteen Hundred (if it ever comes out), Silverstone TJ11, Azza Fusion 9000, and quite possibly the Phanteks Enthoo Primo.

I dislike most cases.
I'm pretty happy with my last two.
My Lian Li "Hammer" I find pretty cool.

Worst part about pc cases is the rear. That's why I liked my FT-02 for the time I had it.
 
Enthoo Primo. Got mine used from a reviewer for $150 shipped. Absolute steal.
 
I have purchased a few as of late, and probably my favorite is still the Corsair 500R case. I would go with the Corsair 850D for a full tower choice.

I was greatly disappointed with a Bitfenix Ghost I recently got on sale (thank goodness for that)
