Default replacing my TT Armor

i got a TT Armor before i went to college cause i wanted something big and had plenty of room in my bedroom. during my first year of college my laptop could handle any game i wanted to play so i left my desktop at home. there are alot of graphics intensive games coming out this year i wanna play (i.e fallout 3, farcry 2) so im thinking of bringing my desktop to school but my dormroom is small to say the least so i need a new case.

I want something small or atleast smaller than the armor which shouldnt be hard lol, but still big enough to fit the tuniq tower and have good airflow.
what do u guys recommend? i kinda like the antec 900 but donno how big it is compared to the armor

so ya im pretty much trying to decide between the 900 and the 300. like the 300 cause its smaller but i like the looks of the 900 a little better. newegg has the 900 with a rebate that makes the prices relatively even.

is there anyone with a tuniq tower in a 300 that can tell me for certain that it fits? also what length video card can it support? cause im thinking of getting http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814129112

CM690.

Lots of people will say Antec 900, others CM690, others Antec 300.

but in my opinion: CM690.
