These are the two I've got it narrowed down to. Is anyone else choosing between these as well?
 
I vote Stacker but I would go for one of these if I was to buy a case in the next couple of days(ends 11/28)
 
The stacker 830 has the best airflow of what you posted, and has better airflow than the Cosmos. I'm currently deciding between the 830 and the Lian-Li V1200.
 
My friend got the Stacker and I got the 900. The 900 is much smaller. It has great airflow and looks quite cool. I am very happy with it. I bought it because it was so much cheaper, to be honest. I consider the Stacker to be a class above, while the 900 is an awesome value for the money. There was a Black Friday deal to get a 900 for $50 after a rebate. Not sure if that's still available.
 
I got a 900 because I get a very good discount on it ($90, no shipping), however all of the cases listed in this thread so far look pretty sweet.

One thing I'd say about the 900 - it'd be nice if it included some toolless setup stuff. Having to actually use a screw and screwdriver for HDD installation seems kinda outdated when better methods are available.

Once you get it all configured how you want it though it's a sweet case. With all fans on low, I can only hear the air moving, no fan noise, and my raptor HD is actually much louder than any cooling noise. Turning the top 200 mm fan to high barely produces any noise change, but I've observed a 6 degree c drop in GPU temps in crysis from just changing that one fan setting.....I also keep my house kinda cold though!
