My favourite of the ones you have listed is the TJ09. For good airflow though I would definitely look at the Silverstone Raven 3 and the CM Storm trooper. Both are good full towers with lots of features and great cooling on air. The trooper is pretty easy to watercool as well if you wanted to in the future.

Yeah, I've never been that impressed by the Silverstone case aesthetics, but I do quite like that one. I had a look at the Raven 3, but I can't say I was that keen on it. Maybe the pics don't do it justice.

I really like the CM Storm Stryker, which I believe is basically the white version of the Trooper.

I have seen quite a few people say they wish they had chosen something else instead of the Shinobi.

Was that due to the build quality of the Shinobi?

Well I'm going to rip into the Antec 1200.

• Old design, druids use to dance around it.
• Really poor cable management and the holes for the cables don't have the nice grommets of others.
• Not the greatest of room behind the motherboard tray and side panel to get thick PSU cables tucked away nicely and the side panel not bulging out.
• Ugly window and a dust magnet, so much airflow pulls dust in through every gap.
• The 2.5" mount is bodged on the floor in front of the PSU.

Btw stulid, i5 3570K and your recommended mobo ordered. Next, my first ever attempt to insert a cpu into the mobo. :)
 
Thanks. Couldn't resist at that price. Really looking forward to having a full tower; just need the cpu cooler now (DH14 out of stock). Then I have to put it all together, which is something I've never done before. Eeeek!
 
I'm looking at reviews and also at the suggestions provided by stulid and others. As long as it's quiet, I'll be satisfied. :)

*goes back to viewing TTL reviews*

Re : the Phanteks, - I recall 5UB recommending those.
