I'm trying to decide between these two cases for a small form factor design. The box, when I'm finished constructing it, will be on will be on 24/7.

The first case is an Antec ISK100:

The other is a Morex T3500:

As I can see it, the advantages of the Antec are that it has a beefier power supply (90w vs 60w) and there are a ton more reviews on it. In terms of negatives, it's smaller, so it would be harder to do something like install a passive CPU cooler.

The advantages of the Morex are it is a bit bigger, so it could support passive cooling, as seen in this thread:

In terms of negatives, the on board power supply is a bit weaker (60w vs 90 from the Antec) and has almost no reviews or build guides on it, at least as far as my GoogleFu will take me.

What do you guys think?

I am partial to the antec, because, despite its age, has been updated with usb3.0 ports.

Having said that, if your computing needs aren't drastic, then maybe take a look at NUC mobos and passive NUC enclosures.
