It seems like the Antec 900 is very popular around AT. I like the style and cooling of it, but does anyone have suggestions or reviews of the 900?

Edit: would like to spend 150 or less on the case itself and stick with air cooling.

I'm looking to build a system with either an i7 or quad core (haven't quite decided yet), dual video cards in either crossfire or SLI, and a couple 1 TB hard drives to use for playing around, maybe school work and multimedia on dual 22's or 24's (A lot still up in the air)
 
cable management isnt good unless you drill some holes, and i found that if you have long video card you may have trouble fitting harddrive into the middle hdd cage. i have a gtx260 and i can put hdd into the middle cage but not the sata and power cord.

i put 2 dvd burners on top 2 drive bays, then a ssd on the third bay, leave the next 3 empty since there is video card, bottom 3 i got 3 hdd

temp is very good since it provides good airflow.

i havent seen antec 900 II in person, but i think it has better cable management, and it is still within your budget you may want to take a look at it.

 
If you can get the Cosmos S on sale it is a nice unit and lots of room for what you want/have and room to expand.
