The picture of the Akasa on OcUk doesn't do it justice. Its a thing of beauty.
Porsche of cases, the Armour is the tank of cases. I would personally go with the Akasa too, would soon get bored of the hunky Armour

Antec Nine Hundred all the way, just upgraded to one and the cooling is absolutely amazing, not 100% silent but not loud at all IMO.
Also, it comes with 3 x 120mm fans and a *huge* 200mm exhaust fan too.
When I (recently) upgraded my case, there really wasn't a hard choice for me.

Anyway, it's all a matter of opinion, I like the Akasa 62, but I prefer the looks of the Antec Nine Hundred, neither is, by any stretch of the imagination, a bad choice.
Good luck in finding a case that you like. There is a lot of choice for <£100 if you look around.

it can be when it wants to be, (when all fans are on 12V but it does turn into a wind tunnel)
but it can be very quite on 5v, just about hear it and my X1900XT's fan is by far the loudest thing in my case and even on low i cant hear the case fans, tis a lovely case and excelent airflow.
average cpu idle temps: core0: 26 core1: 21
gfx temps idle: core:43 ram:40
but in all fairness i have heard a lot of good things about the eclipse and the antec is pretty hard to cable tidy without doing any mods (cutting holes out of it)
and admittedly i think even i will be going for a eclipse next
