Computer case Battle, Which one is best for me?

I am planning to make a custom PC,for working w/ my Civil Eng Programs, Design and gaming but I can decide for a good case, that works fine, and don't spent a lot of money.

The ones in my mind are:

1- Cooler Master SGC-2000-KKN1-GP Storm Scout ATX/MATX/ITX Mid Tower Case (Black)

2- APEVIA X-Infinity ATXB6KLW-BK/420 Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 420W Power Supply

3- APEVIA X-Dreamer II ATXB4KLW-BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 420W Power Supply

4- APEVIA X-CRUISER-BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

5- RAIDMAX AURA ATX-927WU Blue SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

6- LOGISYS Computer Area 51 CS51WSL Silver Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 480W Power Supply

7- XCLIO Nighthawk Color Black 0.6mm SECC/ ABS Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

8- XCLIO A380BK Fully Black SECC 1.0mm thickness ATX Full Tower Computer Case

ADDITIONAL INFO- I plan to buy a power supply, since the ones that come with some of the cases are just too low on W.

If u guys have some cases that aren't on the list you can mention them =]

I like the way this one looks: http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-SGC-2000-KKN1-GP-Storm-Scout/dp/B00243HHNY

I might get it for mine, that would be odd though for a computer with its specs.

1	I bought this one last year and still love it. SUMO answered Jan 18 '11 at 15:10 Blake 196●1●6 Thanks, although is kinda expensive. (Jan 18 '11 at 18:15) Patxi

The one that you like the most is the one that you will want to buy. We can't make such a decision for you. Its like asking someone what 'your' favorite color is.

basically I want the one that has more ventilation.

(Jan 18 '11 at 18:44) Patxi

than you go with that one.

ahhhh is that the xclio or the cooler master?

(Jan 19 '11 at 04:44) Patxi

Looks are fine- but consider also ventilation, noise, ease of access to install drives...In my case (no pun intended) I went with the HAF 922- loads of space, great 200mm blowhole fan, super-easy "insert a drive to the tray" hard drive add-in, plus easy add-in of SSD...

HTH & cheers!

if it has more fans and are bigger than http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811103010&cm_re=xclio_case-_-11-103-010-_-Product then I'm sold :P

Actually, I wouldn't choose any of these. I have built many rigs with the Antec performance series cases and they are absolutely the best cases I have ever used. Rock solid, great engineering, solid steel and perfect for a hot overclocked rig. Take a look at the 183 (11 bays) and 193 series (13 bays.) Their separate compartment and cooling stream for power supplies makes your PS run cooler and last longer. http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/product.php?id=Mjc0Mw==

You can get 'em at Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129062

Don't buy a cheap case. These are absolutely worth the $$$.
