Take a look at the XClio WT (WindTunnel) or Tagan Monolith (both are the same APlus case).

The only other fan you might need is a low and slow front fan to make sure the HDDs get a little breeze.
.bh.
The Windtunnel while cheap, iirc, is kinda not my style. I never was a fan of the bigger fans that are not really easily bought. I like fans that are 120mm or even 140mm. (Assuming you can find a good 140mm fan; hard) Also the LEDs are way too bright, really not my taste. This case is going to be in the room where I sleep is. That makes it quite difficult for anyone to sleep when there are LEDs either flashing or shining as if you had a star in your room. I always can clip off the LEDs on the fans and such but I prefer NOT to do so, if I can manage. The Tagan Monolith is about the same, so yeah.

CM HAF 932 really needs to be on this list. It's big and quiet, with really good cooling for less money than a lot of the cases on your list.
Also, Antec 900 is not a full tower. You say you want a full tower, so why are you considering the 900? Just because you saw it cheap once? If money is a concern, then most of the cases on your list aren't going to work for you. I believe once we're talking sub-$200 here then the Lian Li and Silverstones are gone, plus the Cosmos S and some versions of the Stacker. That makes your list notably shorter. How cheap is "cheap", really?
Maybe you need to think about what it is you really want, and then come back asking for suggestions?

The CM HAF 932 is not really my style/cup-of-tea. It isn't really CHEAP either, it's about 150$ without shipping. So, really I could just get an Antec 1200 for the same price(free shipping) and be happier.
Antec 900 might not be a FULL tower, but it fits what I want. When I say Full Tower I just mean a large tower, something that can fit a lot and have good airflow. Mid-size towers typically are not such and that's why I do not like them, often. The Antec 900 is quite large from what I have seen and it provides good airflow.
I think money is a concern for everyone... If it wasn't, I'd just get a custom built case instead. Or maybe I would just buy myself a theater and use that for my screen and then heck, just have a super computer behind. I'm trying to be practical. A lot of the Lian Li and Silverstone cases are outrageously expensive, for something that just HOLDS the pieces together.

NZXT Zero. --- Same case I got.
Just remove the "blowhole" fan and if you want the pci-slot holder thing and just use screws.
Don't plan on using a huge tower heatsink though (like tru12-e; it's just t tad too tall.)
Really not into the NZXT cases. They all seem to be "flashy". If I can't use a very large heatsink, I rather not get the case as that would just limit my possibilities.
Thanks.
I'm better off getting liquid cooling! X_X
