I got mine at newegg.com but at the time they had a $50.00 rebate. I think they are still the cheapest.

The CM Storm Sniper blows the Antec 902 away. The Antec 900 has horrible cable management, the 902 is good. Definitely get the CM Storm Sniper, here are two good reviews.

Cable management is very easy in that case. As you can see, there is lots of open space so you can route cables behind the motherboard tray with no hassle. It also isn't tiny like the Antec 1200 (and that is a full tower) and Antec 902/900. The motherboard tray also has very small cutouts which you can stick a zip tie through to keep cables to the motherboard tray. The side panels are also extruded, thus giving you far more space behind the motherboard tray. The benefit to having the left side panel extruded is that you can use any CPU cooler and still use an optional 200mm side intake fan or two 120mm intakes. I know in the Antec 900 you can't use a side fan when using a large CPU cooler, not sure about with the 902 though.

I personally would get the HAF 922.
Lotsa cooling, cool looks (IMO) and good cable management.
Also good for WC'ing if you decide that in the future.

690 or 900 best!

900 had quite a few changes over the versions to improve cable management

690 has a lot of room behind the mobo to fit quite a bit of cables. depending on the psu u use, u might need to enlarge the hole below the mobo so all the cables can run through though
