Hello all, I have been venturing around for different cases for my new rig, which when it all comes in will be:

M3A78 Motherboard
4870 Video Card
Phenom II 3.0 GHZ AM2+ CPU
4 GB of DDR2 800 RAM
750 GB Hard drive (forgot the company)

But I don't have a good case.

Here are what I have been looking at:
XCLIO A380BK (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811103014)
Antec 900 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021)
NZXT LEXA BLACKLINE (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146038) [I LOVE THIS ONE]
NZXT Apollo (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146025)

I would choose the Lexa Blackline if the only difference between these models were looks; but alas, it isn't!

Please help me figure out what I should get!

The Antec 900 is a very popular case with gaming enthusiasts. It's one of the most often recommended cases at this forum.

I know, but everyone uses that case. I still like the Lexa Blackline, but I wonder if it it will be too hot or it won't be able to fit my graphics cards well due to its weird design.

Thats a good idea, but I still can't decide, that Lexa is really sexy.

It is a matter of personal preference.

Ah, okay, but which ones are better for cooling?
