I'm not currently (in about 3 months I will be) looking for a PC case, but I voted for the cases that I've used before that I was extremely happy with. The S340 and H440 are both winners for almost any builder at any skill level.
They are strong, have quality materials within their construction (at least where it matters most) and are flexible enough to handle a variety of robust cable management solutions while still serving those with less experience and... who are perhaps less ambitious. They have some nice color options and look great after a build of any depth.
If you're not trying to squeeze a budget, I would say the H440 is worth the extra money. I personally think it looks better, and I also found it a bit easier to negotiate the space within.
The Thermaltake Core P5 (and other showcases like it) is also fantastic, but I would say to reserve this for someone who's had a bit more experience. (It's definitely not my first showcase choice, but it's not a bad one and it's available to vote for. You will certainly have to use a custom loop to handle the heat. Even though people will say "BUT MUH OPEN WALLS" I wouldn't recommend just slapping on fans and calling it a day. (Also, good choice not going for the overpriced Snow Edition. Yuck.) Forcing air through a radiator is a good idea. Hell, you've got the room. Use it!
In the future, I'd like to see some other case choices than the standard. I think MassDrop's tech community would benefit more from seeing voting choices that aren't so much the obvious, safe, and popular choices. (Though, I would bet that it might not do incredibly well for MassDrop's sales)
I personally think we should see more of the cool pieces out there, like some of the nice Lian Li cases or some of the more specialized, niche products available for the enthusiast, not the beginner.

MassDebatesI am curious as to why they have the core P5 up and not the View 71 which is good for any level of experience.
