I liked the looks of MM cases, but they seem to not be well made, and like warheart said, they don't have good cable management. And if you still want to go with MM case the cheapest and best place to buy them is from the MM website like TTL said.
I have found another case that reminds me of a MM case but seems to be better made, and I like some of the features of the case. They are a new company, and still working on their website at www.caselabs.net, but it has a link to get more info.
It will be the next case I get for a build

Honestly i cant find a good case. I can not use a mid tower nor do i want a newer modern looking case as i do not like round styling... And i was going with the 800d but A its a hotbox, (Which i had planned to fix with some cutten up and fan placing) But it has no room for exspansion as it only fits 3 way sli etc... :/, and those little devil cases are 600+ dollars... The only choice i really have is the cube case which i really rather do enjoy... Because it has tons of room and i wouldnt have to replace it for what 5 or 6 years?... :/ what would yu prefer for my choices?

Sorry Sin for my previous post, as I have actually not used a MM case, and not sure of the build quality, but I don't think they look as good, and are way overpriced, and have to buy a lot of things separately to finish filling it up.
If you do get a MM case, make sure you get the xl-atx design if you want the extra room to expand. There is a few cases out there right now that would be good, but price might be the problem. Like you said LilDevil has some good cases but price wise they are expensive, but so are most other custom cases out there. XSPC now makes a couple cases that might be an option for you. CaseLabs has to good cases at comparable prices.
If you want something a little on the cheaper side, check out the Xigmatek Elysium. Might not be a cube type case, but it has room for expansion and from what TTL said, it looks to be a great mod case for watercooling.
Just my 2 cents worth.

Btw i have posted about caselabs previously on this very same thread spot... JS haha, it was about 2 weeks ago if you look further down the list... I introduced those cases to this forum, but still like i said i dont want to spend 500 dollars on a case, and caselabs cases start out at 580 dollars... so does not really solve my problem..
What kind of price are you looking at then? Btw the caselabs cases have went down in price last I looked, the M10 which would support the bigger MB and more expansion slots is less than 400 now. They range from 360-480 for the standard options. But it really depends on your price range, and what exactly your wanting to do with the case honestly.
WELL, i dont have a price range as i could afford a mountin mods case like i want out right at the moment. BUT as i am waiting for 2 months or so i would like to get the things that i can get ahead of time... Like my monitors which i got in this morning. Mouse, keyboard, and case are my next and shopping around never hurt anybodys pocket book thats for sure... I am looking for something that has room for 2 590s, or 3 way 580/s 6970s. a water cooled 6990 sli with a 6970 setup. I am sticking with (ATM) just watercooling whatever cpu i got with. 360 rad with push-pull config. Red and black is my theme. and i would like expansion to any type of motherboard on the market along with 10 pci slots.. I need enough bays for a 5.25 watercool rez a dvd burner and two 3.25 fan controllers. I dont want to many fans and i deff dont want every side panel to be clear windows...

The setup your building sounds a lot like the one I am going to build when I get the funds. I thought about the xspc case, but it doesn't support the xl-atx like the Gigabyte Assasin or the SR2. Then I thought about the Mountain Mods case, but then price to what it featured was to much for what I am willing to spend on a case. I have also looked at the 800D, good for watercooling but a hotbox, and also has to be modded to get anything over a standard ATX in. I like the looks of the Xigmatek Elysium, will hold the XL-ATX motherboard, has room for rads, but comes down if you like the style or not. Lian-li and silverstone both make a case that will support it all, but again depends on if you like the style or not. And then the CaseLabs offerings. I went back and looked at your post and had commented on it, and I have posted the new prices since they have went down some.
I am seriously thinking about getting the TH10 which will support all motherboards and have room for a lot of rads if you want them, and also has the options for windows in the sides, solid or mesh look, and another feature that I loved about the case is that the doors are hinged instead of just screws holding them on. Plus I don't have to buy a lot of optional things to have a fully enclosed case.
I have also have been thinking about getting a Lil Devil case, the one I want costs way up there, but does have a chiller built in the bottom of it. But that is going extreme and would mainly be if I end up with with a lot of extra funds by the time He has them for sale in the US. And also has room for water cooling on top of that.
I agree, looking around doesn't hurt, and could help in the long run about getting you a case cheaper or finding exactly what you want in a case. Hence the reason some people mod, one its a hobby, and two to make the cases they like into something more useful / extreme for them.
I haven't seen MM cases sold anywhere else besides the manufacturer, unless it was a person selling one. So you could check other forums like Sin had mentioned to see if anyone has one for sale. Best of luck.
