Looking for mid-tower/small full tower

[LOTG]

Hey I am planning a new build and I need suggestions for good cases.

Basically i have $100 to $200 (AUS) to spend and I want something that looks good and has good cooling and build quality but isn't huge or heavy... I am a real fan of Alien-ware cases, so something with a similar style would interest me. So far I have considered...

CM 690 II Advanced - This I like because its cheap and highly-reviewed/recommended but looks too plain
NZXT Phantom - This one looks great I think but seems a bit big (full tower) and will have to be shipped in as no store in my area carry it
CM HAF 922 - Good size and airflow but looks ugly IMHO
Corsair 600T White - Looks great but seems have very poor airflow

Anyone have any of these? What do you think and anyone got anything else interesting.

I have a CM690II it's a nice case,actually has too many ventilation holes imo.
If i were to buy a case today it would have to include usb 3.0.

This is an excellent case with USB 3 from an Australia store (in fact, I buy from them all the time.) http://www.scorptec.com.au/computer/42416-rv02b-ew-usb3

It will hold an SLI setup easily, plus it is of quality construction (yes the other cases mentioned are quality, espcecially the 600T, I got to review one of those. But the RV02 is of a particularly high standard.)

Weighs in at $199.

The 600T is a great cooling case. It's airflow is well designed and provides superior cooling to the components. You may want to mod out the top fan, a 200 mm for two 120 mm fans, for even better cooling. (I replaced it with two Xigmatek 120 mm fans with 60+ cfm @ >20 dB). For your dual GPU you may want to mount the 200 mm fan in the mesh window to blow down on the GPUs. But it is a great case with superior cooling.
