For some reason I am really stuck trying to decide on different cases. Full tower or mid? What are the benefits to both? I have been looking at some cases and was wondering what your guys opinions are and why. Here are my 3 choices, all comments are welcome.
First off here is the affordable case with decent cooling. Ultra eTorque ULT33180 Mid-Tower ATX Case - Silver, Front USB, FireWire and Clear Side. Link to Tigerdirect - http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2337814&Sku=ULT33180
This case is normally $99 but is currently $59.98 with the instant savings. Its a mid tower with less room but seems to have good cooling for the price.
My second choice is the Antec Twelve Hundred Black Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case. This case is running for $154.99 at newegg. Link -

Case got great reviews on Benchmarkreviews.com has lots of fans, lots of room, only thing that seems to be a con is the 200mm fan on top doesnt have a filter so dust falls through when its not on into your motherboard and cpu.
My third choice was the most expensive of the three but most appealing, the Thermaltake Spedo VI90001W2Z Full-Tower Case - Clear side with 230mm Fan, Top 230mm Fan, Front USB x2, eSATA and Audio Ports. This case is a pricey $224.99 but almost seems worth it to me.

Everything about this case seems amazing, but I admit I am not an expert in building computers yet with this only being my third. I have always purchased a 30-50 dollar case and hated it but did it to save money. This time around I would like to ask everyone's opinion on cases and how it effects there building experience and overall performance computer. Any thoughts you guys have would help me make a decision. I dont have all the money in the world with a family and all but I would like to make this computer the best I can without killing my bank account.
