Help Me Choose a Case

[quicksilverXP]

I've been caseles for 3 months now and I need to get something fast. I don't wanna spend above 150 retail (not including shipping). My case is minimal (1 hard drive, DS3, 8800GTS, Thermalrigh Ultra 120, 1 DVD rom). I had a Stacker but it was too big for me... I would like a midtower and I've narrowed it down to these choices.

I want a case that is accomodating for PSUs (I haven't decided what PSU I will get until a proper 8-pin PCI-E PSU is out). I prefer a mobo tray because I work on my comp all the time... although it isn't mandatory. Just would like everyone's opinions on these cases, especially for the people that have it.

I have a couple questions myself though.

1. Does the Praetorian/Wavemaster get hot with current hardware since they don't have 120mm fans?
2. How have people gotten the A05B with a window.
3. Has anyone removed the HD cage of the chassis of the Mystique?

The PRAETORIAN

The P182 is a great case. Quiet, nice cooling, but very large.

If size is an issue... Go Li Li.

The PC-A05B has been got with a window via sites that offer case customisation services. I *think* in the US (I'm a UK person) it was www.performance-pcs.com who offer it.

The A05!

A05 is a really nice little case.

Comes stock without a window
No removable MB tray

Really leaning towards the Praetorian. I don't mind changing my Ultra120 due to height restrictions. Has anyone had trouble with larger PSUs with this case?
