Case: Antec Performance II SX-835 w/ 350 watt power & 2 fans

Case: Landmark ATX-198U w/ P4 365 watt power

Case: Raidmax Scorpio 668-SL420 w/ 420 watt power

Care to give any comments? Which one is best?
 
I used to have the Landmark case. It's not that great for overclocking, if that is what you are going for. It only has 1 80mm exhaust (which you would probably want to mod if overclocking), is heavy (plastic sides), etc. It was nice for it's day back in '98/99.

Now, I am using an Antec Sonata and it's a great case for general computing AND overclocking in my opinion. It is quiet, has great airflow (120mm exhaust, optional 120 in the front), and has great construction (like built in rubber screw holes to decrease vibration from peripherals like hard drives). Plus it looks wonderful (car-like finish). It can be found for $90 or less online. It also comes with a 380 watt true-power psu btw.

If this is too much for your budget, I know a lot of people use the SLK-3700 series cases too. They are similar to the Sonata but smaller size power supply (not "true power") and different paint finish. Basically, it's the same case as the sonata but different power supply.

It might be worth your while to take a look at both the Sonata and SLK-3700 series cases since they have 120mm fans as opposed to 2x80mm on the chieftec dragon type cases (like the Performance II you asked about), since the 120mm fans that come stock are generally more quiet and push more air than 2x80mm on the Performance II.
