I think the NZXT is the best of the bunch. It has better cooling potential, and wire management. Though it's not would I would call pretty.

I personally don't like the model of the m59, but nzxt makes some killer cases. The Beta Evo might be better for what you're looking for, not sure what the price difference is though.

Alright, thanks guys. Also, it doesn't have to be those 3 cases, if you can find me a case under $70 at the following sites: lucomputers.com, tigerdirect.ca, and infonec.com thats cool too.
