New System Build, Need advice onCase

Hey all, I'm putting a system together with the following items and was looking for some advice on a case. My friend recommended the Antec 900, but I feel I could get away with something for less and still fit everything in, while cooling everything down. So here's the run down of the system specs with links:

On top of this, I've got three hard drives and a dvd drive. Having easy access to them would be great. Thoughts on cases?

The NZXT Tempest is $20 less than the Antec 900 and has 6 fans.

If you overclock get a Xigmatek HDT-S1283. If not, get DDR2-800.
