Well, you can pretty much go for any case that looks good to you, really. Both of those are fine. Thermaltake, Antec and Coolermaster make nice cases, IMO. I have a Thermaltake Tsunami Dream and it's great. Love the aluminium, though Thermaltake's apparent fetish with blue LEDs I'm not so keen about. Lian-Li cases are also excellent, but very pricey.

I really like the antec 900, it is a great case with a side panel. It also has like 5 fans so ther won't be any dust in your case (a major thing if you have a see through side panel)

Cooler Master cases are the best value in my opinion. I don't like cases with front panels; they are a hassel if you want to put something that sticks out from a bay. Also, they tend to break easy.

Other way around - intake fans suck dust into your case, and exhaust fans never manage to get rid of it all.

No, If you are getting an Antec 900 (Awesome case by the way) It has been know to get bad dust problems, either get a filter, or put aside some time once a week to dust it.

For that much I'd definitely pick up that Centurion 5 - it's a great case for the price.

I have a Thermaltake Armor and its awesome. The side panels in the armor (and Kandalf) come in 2 forms, one with the 25cm side fan, and the other without it.

The Kandalf is the Armor with a full front panel, i like it, but for my cooling config, the Armor does better (my front 12cm fans are larger than normal, and i have to take out the panels in the drive bays so they can fit)

The Antec 900 is also cool.
