Those are all good cases. Another is the Tagan Monolith - if you want quality, space, and good airflow and don't mind a case of its size. Here is a review:

I have looked at the Antec 1200 in person. It is like the 900, but is a full tower, has more fans, fan filters, fan speed controls on the outside, and has better cable management options.

I think you'd be happy with any of those.

Antec 900 or 1200 are good choices with reasonable prices. There are better ones but the Antec cases will do the job and cooling wont be an issue.

You need to be more specific with your need. PC cases cater for different aspect of usage.

I would think you will find that this case is too large as well, I would suggest that you look at the Antec P182, classy appearance, mid-tower with lots of room and good cooling, and good cable management. I currently have 6 HD, 1 floppy and 2 optical drives in mine, with two free 5.25 bays and 1 free 3.5 ext.

How much stuff are you putting in the case? I have the Antec 900, and it is fairly cramped with two GPUs, a large cooler, and 3 HDDs and a disc drive. Not the greatest room for airlow or cable management, although I think I did a decent job. I am upgrading to the Lian Li A70 for some more room.

Cable management in the Tagan case is poor.
