I am building a file/gaming server computer with a 1.0 Ghz PIII, 1 GB PC133 Ram, Western Digital 1200JB HD, Antec 300W PSU. I have narrowed my choices between three cases.

I was looking for opinions for pros/cons on each case and any suggestions you may have. Each case can be picked up for $60 so price is not a factor. Mainly I want a quiet case since it will be inside a bedroom running 24/7. And perhaps a HTPC in the future.

I am familiar with the Cooler Master brand. However Xoxide is new to me so any opinions would be great!

I would say the Antec SLK3000-B is an excellent small server choice. Being obtainable for under $50 shipped doesn't hurt.

If you are looking for a good, quiet entry level server case, take a look at the Chenbro SR20969-BK. It is available on Newegg and comes with some great features.
 
I have the Centurion (in black) and it is a great case. I almost bought the Cavalier, but I did not want a drive door. Put a Seasonic PSU on it and it is verra quiet indeed. It's a nice case. How bout a poll???
 
I would purchase the Enlight steel one, with the pipes. It looks nice, and his extremely heavy, so you get to work out when you lift it.
