Never cared for the layout in the Fractal Designs cases, personally. Used one in a build recently and if the one case fan goes bad you'd have to effectively gut the entire machine to get at the fan to replace it. Tearing a MB and drives out to replace a fan is just silly.
That being said, they make one heck of a cleanly styled case. My favorite case of all time is still the Coolermaster Cosmos, the original one. Got a couple of them and just love them, but they are a massive case.
Getting one of the In Win D cases in for my next build, which will be all watercooled and heavily modded. Looking forward to working with one of those.

What fractal design case do you have to gut to get the fan out?
Never had the original Cosmos, but I have the Cosmos two and it's HUGE

The ATX motherboard looks tiny inside it ^^
Here is the inside of the roomy Cosmos II


Not to bad looking case in my opinion
