Did npt see anything under this l;ink. If you haven't chosen, I like all the cases mentioned but the Storm scout and NZXT Appollo stand out.

This is also a pretty amazing case for the price, although it lacks in cable management. Building a current rig for my neice with this:

The build and fan quality will be better in the Antec and CM cases.
The CM690 is very roomy inside and has cable management holes and lots of fan mount locations.
The 300 is nice(has an extra fan) but you'd have to dremel or holesaw some cable holes.Not difficult to do.
I would choose whichever one of those two appeals to you most.
You can't lose either way.

i am kind of attached to the rosewill cruiser what do you think of that one (4 fans)

I think the Rosewill cases offer good value for people on a limited budget.
I question it's overall quality compared to Antec and CM which i know is very good.
The Cruiser's width with the 190mm side fan installed could limit aftermarket cpu cooler quite a bit.
Most good tower coolers will be eliminated unless you remove the side fan.
I think the CM690 offers the most versatility and value personally.
You can buy a window side panel for it at some point in the future if you wish.

The 690's weight alone sheds some light on the quality of construction and materials used.

That's a 92mm cooler. You shouldn't have any problems with any mid tower you choose. Although any tower type cooler could run into clearance issues with a 120mm side fan.

i think ill go with the antec illusion it is well prices i will only need 3 5.25" external bays and the 2 2.0 usb's are enough. Plus I get 4 fans. does anyone know if the fans can have their speeds adjusted

yes, all four fans have individual speed adjusters like the one here.

yah the cruiser

What are your system specs?
Cuz most 92mm coolers aren't the greatest cooling wise.
As ct1615 mentioned most Antec cases come with either Tri-cool or Two-cool fans.
