Great round up of the best 2013 cases, makes me want to update my rig. You should also do a top 5 headphones for 2013. Hard hitting informative reviews as always, keep it up in 2014.

Why don't you annotate in your review videos on each of the cases as they come up? I would have totally spent some time to watch the reviews.

So awesome that the Arc Midi R2 is on this list! I bought it because of your review! I love mine!

Corsair Obsidian 550D should be added to no.2 also. Its fully dust filtered with 3 dual dust filters which are magnetic and super easy to clean, and 1 slide out dual dust filter for the psu and optional fan, its customisable with its 2 covers which left on make the case that extra bit quiet or can be taken off to add fans, its up to the customer. It looks gorgeous especially with its front aluminium door which opens from both sides. 2 modular drive cages which can also hold fans on the outside of the drive cage. (You could add 10 120mm fans in this atx case) It has rubber mounts on everything which can hold a moving part like rubber mounts on the hard drive trays, rubber mounts on every fan mounting hole, rubber mount where the PSU rests and rubber feet on the case ofcourse.
Did I mention that this case foam padding on both side panels and on the front panel which does help on noise reduction.

The reason I like this case is its sheer amount of versatility. If I so desired I could add a 140mm fan on the side panel hooked up to a fan controller. When I'm doing a graphical intensive task I could pop off the side cover and turn on the side fan using the fan controller which would cool down my GPU at the cost of some extra sound leakage. and when I'm watching one of your videos or working, I could turn off the side fan using the fan controller and pop on the side cover for that extra bit of silence. Thats why I really like this case. The option is there if I wanted to use it. At the moment I find that its plenty cool for everything I do with just the default set-up.

How about top 5 case categories? I do not want a small case, so most of these do not interest me whatsoever. I say you do a top 5 in;

Mid Tower, Full Tower, Budget, and Enthusiast categories. .. And its STORM trooper 6:45 *face palm

I had a blast building in my Carbide 500R case.

What GPU is being used during 4:22 its so fat.

I have a question!Why are the motherboards always on the right side of the tower case??Because if you look at the video card, the warm air of the cooler has to go down, while the warm air wants to go up!If the motherboard is on the left side, the cooler is on top of the video card and so the warm air can go up and suckt in to the case fan.This is really a major flaw in the design.Because if this corrected, the video card can easily cooled with a passive cooler.And so make no noise.
Ik had a passive cooled video card from Asus, and it went kaput, because it got to hot!And it had a very big passive cooler!

I love the shot in the beginning with wisps of Canadian snow falling gracefully behind Dmitri. You guys should include more of the Toronto scenery :D

For my last build I went fot the Fractal Design Arc Mini... it's simply fantastic for a micro-atx assembly, and I'm liquid cooled with 1 x 280mm radiator on the top and 1 x 120mm on the back. not really cheap though, but it's very solid.

NZXT phantom 410 is still in my opinion the best case out there. No case that can help you hide your cables like that case. Look a lot better than most cases in 2014.

I really only clicked this because he looked like dexter in the thumbnail

Awesome list HardwareCanucks! Of course, not all will agree with the list (though I wish my case was included even just for the hon. mention), but I'd take your word for it as you guys have personally unboxed, reviewed, and experienced each of the 33 cases more than any other person in the comments section.

Your review of the (White) CM Storm Scout 2 was really helpful when I was shopping out for parts for my build a few months back. I ended up getting that case, and was happy with it since. It was a close call with the Phantom 410 at that time!
