Computer Case Brand Rating

I have used most brand cases on the market, some are great, some good and many are bad.
This rating is for PC cases, does not include server and workstation chassis.
Blue is top notch (excellent fit and finish, ample cooling, everything goes in hassle free, surfaces are clean, no chance of getting wounded while building the machine)
Green is Good (Solid build, good finish, tolerances are not the best, most surfaces are clean, low risk of getting wounded while building the machine)
Red is bad (funky finish, most times come with scratches and broken parts, missing hardware, motherboard and other components just don't fit right, you may need to make modifications, the metal is sharp and you can easily get a nasty gash on your hand while assembling the system)
