Ok so i'm buying a bare bones system to turn into a gaming pc...i'm going to be buying it off ebay and i only have a few cases to choose from that this guy sells with his kits...i've narrowed it down to 5 possibilities...here's what i'm going to be installing:
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L P35
Q6600
EVGA 512-P3-N802-A1 GeForce 8800GT Superclocked 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express

And here are my case choices:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811133145
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811133137
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811133016
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811144091

I basically want opinions on which case would be the best (picking from the ones above as they are the only ones i can choose) as far as good ventilation cause i'd like to keep things as cool as i can on a stock case...well any suggestions would be great...thanks
