I will look at those when I get home from work. Myself and I think ufans both use HAF series cases from Coolermaster. I am very happy with mine.

Luke,
All those are mid-sized cases, so please make sure that there is enough room for your video card, since most of the newer graphics cards are HUGE!!!
I had to Dremel my HDD cage in order for my card to fit in my case and my case is a full sized....DOH!!
I personally like the 230mm fan on the side window to increase air flow, so I would lean towards the Azza Case of the ones you listed. However both Thermaltake and Antec are also great case manufacturers (I own 2 Thermaltake cases). Also look for bundle deals....you can get some crazy discounts getting the case with a power supply.
Good luck on your build!!

I use the coolermaster and found it is so effficient that it maintained my CPU temp (on its own) when the CPU fan had not been connected. It did so for at least 6 months!!! I take my hat off to the coolermaster as it saved my CPU

I'm looking at a Nvidia 570 so there should be plenty of space in the cases.

Ok.
Like pfrman I have a Rosewill Challenger for my second computer. Felt like a pretty tight fit for me but I do have it packed full of hard drives.
Now for my Coolermaster Haf. It's the
Coolermaster HAF 912
I love this case. No flashy lights, solid black, though the inside is NOT painted. There's tons of room with removable drive bays. So I stand with ufans in saying the HAF series cases are excellent for the money.

I had a mid tower..and the new video card wouldn't fit, I would go with a full tower..the card is a GeForce GTX 460 2Win Video Card - 2GB, GDDR5, and it is a lot bigger then i thought.
