Thoughts on these two cases?

Another Antec 900 alternative would be the NZXT Apollo, I know of a few people on this forum that practically swear by them being one of their favorite cases. (and it looks cool too :) , almost reminds me of AlienWare cases, but with a side fan and side panel :) )

You have to add one in apparently since it's not included. It's still a good brand and popular with many.

NZXT is another company that puts out some great gaming cases there too. The Nemesis Elite model is another one to look at as well as the Apollo. http://www.xoxide.com/nzxt-nemesis-elite-case-black.html

I don't know. Judging from the pictures on newegg, it looks like it's made of cheap plastic, and I'm not a big fan of a front door anyway.
 
I have the Centurion 5 and it is a solid all round case for the price, although i do regret not getting a side window!

Neither am I. I put up with the twins on the last case and said no more when someone pointed out a good sale at FRYS on the 900 last July. Haven't regretted it one bit. :D

actually, it does come with the front fan. there is no need to add a front fan, it definitely positively 100% comes with one already installed, all you need to do is plug it in.

These days an 80mm fan isn't much of one not when you consider the cases that see a 120 or larger for the front intake anyways. :P

The display seen at the top of the Nemesus Elite shows temps as well as other things on that model.
 
yer thats the cm690.
i have ordered one of those and waiting for it. it can hold 7 12mc fans. so should be a pretty cool case.
my dad has the 534rc and it marks very easy, i dont really like it
but the cm690 looks good

Here's a case you might like. I have it :). It's an excellent case and offers great ventilation. The front panel is mesh with a foam type dust filter.

The idea of filters for the fans is good while that would need to see fans added since only one rear fan comes included. Now for a low priced steel/plastic with some actual air flow take a look at the XClio model seen for a little more that sees front and side 180mm case fans with the option for the rear at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811103018

You could buy a front fan and it would still be cheaper than the Xclio case. Just my two cents.
 
Remember the size of the fans seen however 140mm is larger then 120s. Another case seeing a front 140mm intake but a 250mm side fan will obviously run more namely the AeroCool model seen at http://www.xoxide.com/aerocool-extremengine-3t-black.html

The other model they had still saw the 140 in front but saw a large side window where two 120s could be added. Those twin swing doors on front where the annoyance there however while temps were low.
 
I had the Centurion (the first one you listed) with a window in the side and I really liked it. Nothing beats the ol' Antec 900 though. (Uh oh, here comes the A900 bashers...)
