I have to say, all these cases have such a ridiculous amount of fans they are all going to sound like jet engines. All of them were great looking, but in the end I went for Black owl because it offers something a bit different.

The amount of fans doesn't set the noise level. More fans allow lower speed, and thus help decreasing the noise level.

Proteus is the one that I would buy, although I would be more than happy with all four of the finalists.

Same for me . They all have something that I like, and I would be happy with all of them. However, Gladio is the one that matches my taste and use the more (who said I like big case )

Except the handles that reminds of the G5, It's really not a G5 ! If I think the same way, all case from all brand are all plagiarism of the first tower case ever build !!!

The innards are very different from the one of a G5. Unless you try something really new, you'll always end up with a case that looks like another one.

Proteus for me. Close second was Black Owl.

Proteus really does have everything you would need but for me the Black Owl is a little more practical and stylish so Black Owl has my vote with Proteus closely second should a monstrous cooling set up be needed.

As it has been the entire way through, black owl for me, because while the other cases are good, its a damn sight more practical

I really like Black Owl. Apart from the tag line "just fear it". That makes me cringe.
