I have narrowed my new case search down to these

in particular i like the k62 for its looks, im not to sure on its cooling performance although it should be on par with the armour suit if not slightly better by having the 140mm front fan.
iv read that the haf932 has great cooling but im put off by the size and looks.

im torn between looks and cooling ability, help me choose?

I did look at this but out the box cooling ability seems poor according to bit-tec review

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cases/2010/02/18/cooler-master-cm-690-ii-case-review/3

plus i would like to keep the case as quite as possible thus i dont really want to add extra fans if possible,maybe replace the stock fans.
Has anyone changed the stock fans on the CM690 11 and did it make much of a temp difference ?
 
The lian li and the k62 seem very similar the number of drive bays are different and the k62 has a 140mm front intake fan (1000rpm)for better cooling. armorsuit has 120mm fan at 1200rpm.
i know aluminium is better quality than steel however will the aluminium case be cooler?
