Default CM690/Antec 900/Cosmos 1000

i7 Rig with a TRUE/Ultra kaze 3k rpm,2 dual slots gpus, and a pci sound card.
I was concerned about the 900 being so open and possibly being a decent amount louder than the other two and is the cosmos worth it compared to the CM690 in terms of cooling and sound? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

I would take the CM 690 over the Antec 900 anyday but That's just me, COSMOS is a high standard of case which obivously has much better airflow and roomy.

I'd go with the Cosmos because it looks freakin sweet.

Next would be the A900, I mean they're all solid cases and you can't go wrong. It's all down to personal preference.

I really dont want something that massive unless it is significantly better than the others (Will be in college and such). So it looks like its between the 900 and cm690 :/

Between those two go for the CM690, almost identical airflow as the 900, but it is easier to work with and more roomy.
