Are you going to be just air cooling??

If so I would first eliminate the HAF 932. The HAF X pretty much replaced it since it's better in just about every way so I'm not sure while it's still even being produced.

If you want a full tower then the HAF X is the way to go. If you are comfortable with getting a mid tower then it gets a bit more complicated. I don't reall ylike the 550D simply because there is no air intake from the front unlike the other cases. The 500R is nice because of the shear intake power but the styling is hit or miss. Some people make like them but some won't. 650D looks great but it's a bit limited in the air flow department depending on the fans you get. The HAF XM is another great mid tower. The styling is similar to that of the 500R. The one thing I don't like about the case is the way the side panel opens which I think is a bit of an inconvenience.

So in conclusion if you want a full tower then go with the HAF X which is a bit of a no brainer.

When it comes to mid towers I would say either the HAF XM or the 500R. Either one will work great for you but I think it's up to which one you think looks best.

As a HAF owner this is just my personal opinion though, if you don't like industrial looking cases then its fine. The HAF 932(Mine) can kinda kill a clean looking desk with its aesthetics. Just a head-up but I know you can obviously see it in the pictures.
