Hey there everyone. Right now I am using an XClio-A380BK and its nice an all, but I kind of out-grew the style. So now, I want a new case, and preferably a really nice cooling one. I have two choices


Antec 1200 (http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/product.php?id=Njkz)

12 drive bays
Standard ATX motherboard form factor
Unique power supply option:
- Mounts either a standard size power supply or Antec's exclusive CP Series power supply
Perforated front bezel for enhanced air intake
Washable air filters reduce dust build-up in your system
Advanced cooling system:
- 1 top 200mm Big Boy 200â„¢ blue LED fan
- 2 rear 120mm TriCoolâ„¢ blue LED fan
- 3 front 120mm blue LED fan
- 1 (optional) side 120mm fan to cool graphics cards
- 1 (optional) middle 120mm fan to cool CPU or graphics cards
- Water cooling platform for reservoir or pump

7 expansion slots for greater customizability

NZXT Tempest (http://www.nzxt.com/products/tempest/)

-6 fans including;
-2 front intake(120mm)
-two top exhaust(140mm)
-1 side(120mm)
-1 rear fan(120mm) Tempest maximizes expandability with E-ATX support allowing for more compatibility with high end components including larger graphics cards. Cable routing is pre-drilled so users can hide cables behind the motherboard tray, allowing for a cleaner appearance and improved airflow. Tempest also features server-like HDD space by using dual 120mm fans to cool cages holding up to 8 HDDs allowing for large capacity systems while maintaining cool temperatures.


OR WHAT I HAVE NOW - XClio-A380 (http://www.xclio.com/products/case-a380.htm#details)

-1 front fan (250mm) [BLOWING IN]
-1 side exhaust fan (250mm)[BLOWING OUT]
-1 rear exhaust (120mm)


I just want to know, out of those three, what would be the best?
