I'm looking to upgrade my case, and I'd like to know what the best case on the market is in terms of good cable management abilities, quietness, airflow, and of course coolness :). Also if need be, should I replace the fans for more quiet ones? Thanks in advance!

You can't go wrong with Cooler Master. The HAF X is also a great option (I have the HAF XM mid-tower).

It sounded good until I checked the price D: lol. I'm assuming you have/had this case; did you replace the stock fans?

I do not have this case I just have heard great things about it! I currently have the Corsair 500R which is also a great case although it is Mid-tower. But usually there is no need to replace stock fans

I'm watching LinusTechTips unboxing of the Cooler Master Cosmos II... Despite it being $320 on Newegg, I'm seriously considering buying it. I wonder if it will fit in my desk? :??: lol I'll probably have to place it on top of my desk for it to fit anywhere near me haha.
 


Definitely, the NZXT Phantom 820 is actually an Ultra case, which exceeds your full size expectations. It can support 9 fans, it has 4 external bays, 6 internal bays, plenty of room and it can support a water cooling system. Great case.

I have the Phantom 820 and it's the best case I have ever owned or used. It was expensive though.

Are the fans pretty quiet on it? That's one of my biggest concerns because I already know my motherboard size and all that jazz so now it's just about the case quality.

Fractal Design R5. It's a mid tower in name only. In reality, its huge and one of the best quality build you'll find on the market. It's not made of thin aluminium panel like most cases or made of cheap plastic. This little baby is made of Steel & Plastic with dense sound-absorbing material placed strategically. You can feel the quality of the build just by holding a side panel, it's heavy. The inside is completely modular, you can arrange it the way you want. There's air filter in front and at the bottom. The bottom air filter is specially handy because the PSU is place at the bottom of the case, and you can put it so the fan is face down, and it wont collect dust. Genius! You can slide the filters out easily and wash it. That case is a beautiful piece of art, and it's made to optimize functionality.

[Rant cap on] Most cases on the market looks like they were inspire by stereo system from the 90's and marketed for gamers. It's like the more ugly and monstrous they are, the more badass its suppose to be. Yo this is so pimp Yo!!! [Rant cap off]

Absolutely silent with my fans on the second lowest setting and still cools as good as anything on the market.. It's even quieter than my old Antec 1200 with the fans on low.

Edit: ^ Fractal cases are very good as well. The R5 would also be a good choice.

Yes, the fans are very quiet. I think you will like the NZXT Phantom 820 if that is the case you choose to go with :)

Price isn't an issue, so is the Cooler Master Cosmos II a good option for the same reasons as above?

It's an older design and one of the cases I considered when I bought my 820. Obviously I decided against it but mostly because the 820 is as good or better for cheaper and I like the 820s looks better.

I really appreciate everyone's help and opinions! I find that the Cosmos II is DEFINITELY more expensive, but has the best cable management abilities from what I have read/seen. Therefore, I have decided that I would like to purchase this case; again, thanks everyone for your help!
