CM690 vs Antec 900 vs Tempest

I'm wondering if anyone here can shed some light on each of these cases, I'm having a hard time choosing between. All seems good cases.
 
I personally have a CM 690. I love it since its airflow is great, but generally either one of them is good (CM690/Antec 900). I don't know how Tempest is though.

thanks, I think it would be nice if CM690 or Antec 900 has intake filters. Is your case very dusty? I mean how often do you vacuum it?
 
The front panel 120mm fan has filter so does the 140mm fan on the bottom. The two optionals on the side doesn't, but you can easily install/buy one for it. The exhaust don't either (one behind, two on top). There is a total of 6 120mm fans, and 1 140mm. Though if you have a large heatsink, you probably can't get the top-side 120mm installed. I have mesh filters on all the intake fans. I clean my case out once 4-5 months, but honestly, it doesn't get very dusty in there (the filters catch quite a bit).

I use http://www.performance-pcs.com...th=92&products_id=2275 on the two side fans.

thanks that's good info. I'm worried about these hi flow cases, with so much air flow, I remember my old case that I open cased it because of the heat issues, has to dust every 2 months. I think whichever case I end up with I might just get a few of those $5.99 filter addons.

Antec 1200 comes with filters, but man, I have to clean them every 2 weeks, it moves alot of air. The 900 uses the same fans, so I'd imagine they also move alot of air, and, alot of dust.
