Definitely the Antec 900 IMHO.

Tbh, you get a case to look nice. And to cool well. And the Antec 900 fits those traits perfectly. The Cooler Master is kinda ugly if you ask me, and I've always preferred the Antec brand to that of Cooler Master (their cases are almost always constructed as flimsy and cheap).

Yea Antec does build quality cases. I forget who said that if you want quality go with Silverstone ro Lian-Li and granted those are great quality, Antec doesnt build cheapo crap cases like Apevia or Nzxt.

I got the A900 and lovin it. One bit of advice though, in buying the PSU make sure it has long cables. I got an OCZ stealthXstream 600 and had to buy extensions for both the four pin and 24 pin power cables to get them to reach around the motherboard. With out them the four pin had to be stretched across the GPU and I needed one for the 24 pin to reach after I made hole in the bottom back to go behind the MoBo.
One thing about the 900 is the front drive bays and fans. You can put them in quite a few different configurations. I like the fan up top and optical drive and fan controller in the middle so the top fans blow right across into the CPU.The stock fans are three speed adjustable which is great but you have to open the side to get to the speed adjustment and I couldnt find a controller that worked with the molex connector they come with so I bought four Yates and a Sythe Kaze Master.

Off topic:Thermaltake Armor Antec 900 . You should look into it; it's a great case although some people may object.

Otherwise go with the Antec 900
