First: looks good and looked like it had good ventilation too
Second place would go to the third just because I didn't like the look of the front fan in the second

I would say the second because of the capabilities of the 2 250mm fans and because I also own that case

I actually do like the picture of the second one and those 250mm fans blow a lot of air.

the third is a smaller case for different size motherboards(I think). The first looks nicest. 2nd probably has good ventilation. I would go with number 1

I would say the 3rd one because it looks like mine and your not paying for a PSU, you can choose the one you want.
The second is horrible and looks cheap like a child HiFi. (IMO)
The 1st one come with PSU.

Well, to all you naysayers out there that the second case has nothing cheap about it. Its just that the case itself is a full size tower and its just big (thats what I like about it).

Yeah, of those three, I'd go with the second.

I didn't mean it is cheap, I just don't like it.
I don't like cases with doors either, but that's just me

2nd, looks like the best CFM (Yes I read the actual specs) for the three cases. Seems you get functional and looks with the second which it always a plus!

And it looks different (Cool). It's nice to stand out from the crowd.

the second and third cases will both hold the motherboard i have, although youre right it is smaller and designed to hold some different types of mobo that the larger one is not suited for.

Well I just remembered a very good reason to buy the second case. Positive pressure in the case is a must need to keep a stable temperature and it is one of the best cases that can do it.

Hmm first one gets my vote, others are ooglay.

On another note if you don't mind a huge black box for a case then look at this one, has a 200mm top fan, 2x 120mm front, 1x 120mm back, and space for more:

The 2nd looks like it's got some serious ventilation. That's pretty cool, but those are some humongous fucking fans. 250mm? You're going to have nice airflow with low noise. Nice.

Good place to look up stuff, for God sakes don't buy from them. I ordered from them three times and all three times they completely fucked up the order. I forget the name of the site, but there is a company that tracks the customers rating for each site and that one has a really poor rating. Three of them are from myself.

Yup, no brainer out of the three.
