if you don't care for a window the Fractal Design Core 3000 is great for the price. Offers many spots for fans, has USB 3.0 and is very spacious .

for me, as long as it is not a pain to work on the case (cable management, space issues, fan accesibility, etc), then i would go for looks next which is subjective

the fractal design core 3000 was pretty easy to work in, has lots of holes for cable management which is a huge plus in my opinion. only complaint is the quality on the screw holes, after moving fans around a lot I noticed I was starting to strip my screws a bit, but really a good simple case. nothing too fancy to look at, I like the 2 front intake fans spots so I get double LED on the front (that's my glam for it, the case itself is black and plain lol)

i have a phantom so i won't pick a case :) 
my advise, go to the store if possible, take a look at the cases in person, not just pictures. read some reviews (if there are some issues).
when i first saw the white phantom, i knew i wanted it :)

I honestly think I like the phantom most as well, that or a white Thermaltake Chaser with blue lighting.

Some people don't like fans in certain locations. The unused fan locations often become dust collectors. Some people have resorted to making intake covers to block air intakes. It all depends on if you want to pull the air through from the exhaust or force it in from the front with a fan.

If you read this fine, if not fine. Happy building.

I like the Antec 300 series. They are built like tanks. I don't care for a black interior, it makes it hard to see. A smooth silver polished surface or light colored paint might be nice. Even better if they chromed the inside. Make it gun black on the outside and nickel plated on the inside. Now that would be nice.

Thanks, I definitely read anything put on here. Solved or not, all help is appreciated. Antec 300 series seems pretty good, plue you can put a "see in" side any time later on.
