I'd go with the 900. Spacious and good cooling.

Antec 300, or 900.

All four cases are good choices. Your components will fit in all of those cases. My personal preference is the CM Centurion 590. I used that case to build several systems for other people. However, if you are a hardcore gamer, then you probably would be better off with the Antec 900. It's quite popular with gamers and gets quite a few recommendations here.

with that many drives I would consider getting a full tower like the antec 1200. It can be hard to get a longer GPU in your case if you have to put a HDD in front of it. With that said of your choices I would go with the Antec 900 or the Antec 900 v2. The antec 900 v2 has intergrated fan controllers which would make it worth the extra dough IMO.
