im down to these cases. i plan to use 3 sata hdds and a couple of dvd burners. an e6600 with a tuniq. also an 8800gts and 2 gigs of ram. im gonna be using a ocz gamestream 700watt. a sound card, wifi adapter and tv/fm tuner (all internal). im still stuck on what however on the case. i wanna run some leds on the fans (extremely optional) however im trying to figure out which case would provide the best combination of air flow, cooling and silence. without further adeiu heres the selection.

i dont like any of them my self nzxt is nice and low price as is raidmax

spend little extra and get the raid max 701 its really nice its $100 or the antc 900.

you can get silver stone for $109 way better then the ocz @ eastluna its a 600w with a 670w rating and 48 amps continuous, 60s peak

they run cool and quiet same price as ocz but better

i am not so sure i have been looking and some of the cases holes in the back (u know mouse port and stuff) and some atx towers are not even close so can u customize a case to fit the board

I'll second the NZXT cases, the Apollo models have a $20 MIR and comes in silver , black and orange.

The price range is the same as the aerocool ($70/$85 shipped), much better quality.

Also the Xion 450w and Apevia 420w are most likely to be single-rail atx v1.3 units and not enough to power any modern pc long-term, save a celeron/sempron office pc w/ on board vga. At least get a dual-rail 400w+ unit like this Hipro 400w $37 shipped will be a major improvement over the bundled psu's.
