My two choices would be NZXT and Corsair 
My Phantom's going on 4 years now and I have no intention of replacing it; only thing I'm considering is replacing the front (well, top) I/O panel with a newer model that has USB3

Yea, checked those, they seem sturdy and have some expansion slots in the bottom.
Though not that many, the smaller ones (950D is way too big for under my desk ) It seems like the medium sized ones fit just 7 3.5" disks.
I'm already using 5 slots and will probably need to expand soon. My current one theoretically fits 15 or so, but dues to cable hell and the impossibility of removing the rack for easy install, I used my last available slot with the 5th drive (without dismantling cpu fan and case fans).
...
well investigated a bit more and Obsidian Series® 550D Mid-Tower Quiet Case seems like it would do fine for me. Will just have to figure out whether it fits my cooler (Noctua NH-U12S 158 mm)

Very satisfied with mine. Not to mention solidly built. My old Cooler Master was a flimsy POS by comparison.
Yes, yes I'm back.
Somewhat.

Fractal is great. Running their R4 atm. Strangely, they haven't announced an R5 yet.

I bought myself just yesterday a Corsair 330R and I'm loving it so far. Silent and spacey, decent cable management and purrrty.
Here's hoping after a few months of use it won't look as horrible as my old CM 690 II looked, all dusty in the mesh grill. Clean lines for me please!

NZXT SWITCH!!
Everything is removable without popping out rivets. They used screws in everything so the customers could basically remove stuff they didn't need as they wished without going through the trouble of drilling out rivets.
Also what I built my system inside of. Of all the cases I've had over the years, even Lian Li, the switch 810 is by far the best case I've ever worked with. They have some staff on the overclock.net forums and they take in opinions about cases for their next builds, and one of our complaints was about how little room on the backside there is to hide cables. So when they made the Switch 810, they made the back side a little more open than what other cases offer so you can run whatever it is you want on the back without needing to cram it all into one place.

Fractal, absolutely love them (quality material).
Slick, quiet and nothing fancy like glass panel or whatever useless thing that I don't need.

Damn Spikez that an awesome case, I'll look into that one for my next build.
For now Corsair Carbide series is nice enough for me.
