Cooler Master cases are inexpensive and of excellent quality. I have a Centurion, and it's been fantastic.

Antec 900. Amazing cooling, amazing build quality. I tend to stay away from the NZXT cases, since I hate the sort of toyish, plastic construction of it.

I have heard good things about the Antec 900. I cut it down to the XClio, the NZXT Lexa, the Apevia X-Pleasure, or maybe the antec 900. Im just wondering as to if i should get a mid or full tower case. I want the case to last awhile and it seems that all the internal components of computers are getting bigger and bigger. And as this would be my first build i was also thinking about how easy it would be to install the components inside the case

Well i think the Armor is a little out of my price range. The main thing imwondering is if i should get a Full or a mid tower. I seem to like the designs of the mid towers more. But im worried if i get a mid tower not all the stuff will fit...

With the ones you have posted I would say the 3d Aurora. Its got 3 built in 120mm fans and keeps everything really cool and very good air flow.

I use an Antec P182, and am loving it. All the rubbery noise- and vibration-damping (yes, that's damping, not dampening) stuff in the case is awesome. I also found it decently spacious inside, and it also allowed for some very clean cabling (and I'm all about having clean cabling :P). The downside to the case is that it's steel, so it's a bit heavier than an aluminum one. If you don't mind the bit of extra weight and spending a little more on a case (I think it's ~110 after rebate on Newegg atm), I would highly recommend it.
