These two are pretty good for that price, but for sli myself i would spend abit more and get a full tower for more airflow and space.

the shinobi has terrible airflow that i have read as the front cover blocks the two fans.

I dont believe i have read anything bad about the airflow on nzxt stuff, but they are mostly made of plastic and can be abit fragile and flimsy so if your bothered about that then i dont see why not :)

As said above the Shinobis don't have great airflow. To add to that the "core" edition doesn't come with any fans.. Not good!

The Phatom is quite plasticy but the build quality is pretty good and airflow is decent aswell (a lot better than the shinobi). It also comes with some fans to get you started.

The 300R is a good choice, Aliminium panels (mostly) and has enough spaces to modify the airflow to how you like it. :D
 
The 300R looks like a nice piece of kit, I would probably have to go with the windowed one for better looks.

And I would imagine the noise level would be controlled by what fans I buy
