I love Gamers Nexus' reviews. Good in depth coverage and I've been happy with their advice.
I had a Coolermaster TD500 mesh for years and it has been great. It was decent build process, good thermals. Looked nice. Sturdy build.
It held up so well I was going to reuse it when I upgraded, but ended up giving the whole pc to someone else that needed one and built a new one almost from scratch. I almost got the Antec one that GN recommended, because of price and because I wanted to get a larger case since I was adding a water cooled CPU rad. I ended up getting a good deal on a Lian Li o11 vision. I've been super happy with it. I sorta wish it had a top vent as well but it isn't lacking in air flow. It allows me to put 3 x 140mm fans on the bottom, the 360mm water cooler on the side panel, and and up to a 240 on the back panel. The fit and finish was decent and the build process was a breeze. Everything comes apart to allow access to building... the back fan panel removes entirely from it's bracket so you can attach it to the radiator or fans then clips in to place with a latch. It has copious tie downs and routes for wires to the back build area. The motherboard attachment point actually can be moved up or down to accommodate different sized motherboards and GPUs a little easier. So far my thermals have been really good, so I'm happy with it. It sits in the $120-150 price range depending on trim options.
