If you were building a full-tower computer, which case would you buy?

Hmmmmmmmmmmm - - - my beef is that case design seems to convey that the case is a work of art, absolute male bovine excrement, I waant a functional box but I hardly ever look at the thing. That means that I don't want blinky lights,

I would be looking for a case that fills my needs list. (Most offerings have too much bling!)
I would check for the number of drive bays, cable management, location for power supply, is it set up for water cooling (if you prefer water cooling), and the width of the case.
Location of the supply and height of the feet are important if you want to use water cooling. I don't like the idea of having a power supply with its fan on the top side if water cooling is being used. I worry about a possible leak dripping right in to the guts of the supply.
Case width is important to allow use of some of the taller CPU coolers. I want to upgrade the CPU fan in my system because the stock one doesn't seem to be working that well. I can't use the cooling fan I really want because my case is 9mm too narrow.
