Favourite cases for custom builds?

[EightDeerOcelotClaw]

What cases do you usually pick for custom build jobs? I've got four I use over and over and over:

SilverStone PS14: cheapest case, good for low-budget jobs where every dollar counts
Antec P120 Crystal: for mid-range PCs, lots of fan mounts plus no pre-installed fans means I can install the best fans
Cooler Master MasterCase H500P: my go-to case for high budget jobs, because this is one of the few cases that can use 200mm fans
EVGA DG-84: this one is what I use for custom water-cooled PCs, because it can support dual 360mm radiators

depends on system requirement parts for specific program/game on custom jobs. i tend to go with small to mid towers.

I use Kolink Ethereal, since it's cheap and easy to handle. For high-end jobs, Obsidian (any of them, really) and Raijintek Paean are my favorites, due to the ease of cooling, assembly and plenty of space.

For me, I use:

Kolink Stronghold for low budget builds (0-999) in white or black, depends on how I'm feeling.

Lian Li Lancool One Digital for midrange price points (1,000 - 1,500), I'll never use the gold variant though. Imo it looks disgusting.

I'm biased for my final case, as I want this case irl. The Lian Li O11-Dynamic or XL. I will only use this case for anything above 2,500 bucks. This case looks incredible to me, which is why I use it so often.

Don't forget thermal paste!

Maybe not the most common one but I'm really fond of building on the MSI Vampiric 010, especially if it's a water-cooled build. While being dirt cheap it still supports a 360mm rad at the front along with a 240mm at the top, and for general building it's almost just pick whatever and it'll fit, so I just like it for the ease of building.

Lately I'm mixing things up since I'm close to endgame, I've become a System Integrator where I'm doing pre-built console-like PCs so I build on the Fractal Design Node 202 with pre-chosen parts (being ITX MB and SFX PSU there's much less flexibility) and I just reject anything that does not conform to the SKU. I setup another model using the SilverStone RVZ03 but it's not as easy to build in, with the Node case I can build quick and easy to get more jobs going. Capitalism, ho!

I don't have a specific chassis to use myself that I prefer. I usually just make sure it fits a few requirements:
1.) EATX motherboards.
2.) At least 3 x 3.5" hard drive bays, but I prefer one that can handle 4-5.
3.) Support for full size ATX power supplies of any size and length.
4.) The ability to support at least 2 x 240mm water radiators, although having at least support for a 360mm is preferred.

All of this above is to make sure that every computer I "custom build" for a customer can be upgraded if it (potentially) returns to me later.
