I wouldn't go with either of the three you listed.

My recommendation is the COOL MASTER 690.

It is a clean case from the inside and out. Check it out.

Antec 900 $85.68

Not the best deal I've seen on this case, but it definitely stacks up with the rest in this thread.

Yes, I like mine too except for the rear slot holders. I ended up breaking off the three plastic tabs where my cards are located and put screws in. Other than that it is great and holds a ton of fans if you need them.

I would go with the 690 or the A900 from the above poster.

But out of the cases you have listed I would get the X-cruiser.
