Need help choosing a case!

The 3 cases I'm looking at are:

Antec P182
Lian Li PC-65B
Raidmax Smilodon

The main areas I'm looking for are:
#1 Cable Management
#2 Cooling
#3 Noise

The choice is between those 3 cases as they are the ones in my price range and I love the design of them. I will be running Air Cooling with an E6300 (OC'd w/ AC Freezer 7 Pro), EVGA 8800GTS 640mb (OC'd w/ HR-03 Plus and 92mm fan), Corsair 520HX PSU, Abit IP35 Pro, GSkill F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ 2x1GB (OC'd), and 2x Seagate 320gb 7200rpm HDD. There will also be a few more components (sound card, dvd drive) but they really aren't heat producing.

Cable management and cooling are the 2 most important aspects for me but I would also love the computer to be as silent as possible.

Any and all input is welcome concerning those 3 cases only! I've looked at alternatives and they are either too expensive (Zalman, Silverstone, etc.) or just don't suit my needs aesthetically.
 
Why don't you look at a Lian Li g50, a05, or a01b? To get great cooling you will have to put blow holes but these are great, efficient, and high quality cases priced reasonably.
 
I have the P180 and I absolutely love it. The front filters do an excellent excellent job of keeping dust out of the case. I am running an old X2 4200 and the CPU temp is almost constantly at 32C and hits 36C tops.
