Selecting a good Chassis/Case

[shryock]

---

Hi all.

Im slowly picking parts for my project.
I have come to a point that im indecisive about choosing the right casing.

I'd like to know about your ideas on how to select a good chassis.
is it the looks? the size? the availability? the expandabality?

voice out your ideas below.
thank you!

specs:

Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge-based 3.3 GHz CPU
CoolerMaster V8
Asus Maximus IV Gene Z
RipJaws 8gb 1600 (12800CL9D) 2x4
Asus GTX560 Ti DCII 1gb ddr5
1.0TB WD Blue Sata3 7200rpm
Seasonic X-Series Modular 80+ Gold 660w
Lite-On 24x IHAS-224/524 Sata LS/LT

i have a few cases in mind.
like the NZXT Phantom 410, CoolerMaster 690 II Advance USB 3.0v, Thermaltake Armor A60, Corsair Carbide 400R.
