Need Opinions on some Cases

Hi Folks. I'm wanting to replace my old P160, and these are the cases I am looking at for it:

Antec Nine Hundred -- Kindof wierd, but it's growing on me.

Antec NSK6500

I have 2 optical drives, the X-Fi platinum audiodrive, a 3.5" flash card reader, and 3 hard drives. I have a floppy drive, but it is pretty much expendable, and I don't really care if it makes it into the new case. My PSU is nothing special, just a 550W Thermaltake Purepower. All of these cases fulfill my needs, but I am unsure about them for one reason or another.

With the 900, I am concerned about noise and dust. It has so much mesh on it, it kindof looks like a dust magnet to me.

With the NSK6500, I've heard and read in a few places that the faceplate feels cheap and the power switch sucks. Is that accurate?

I know they are both Antec cases, and I have no great love for Antec, but I have used a lot of them in the past and I they have been solid and reliable for me. If I could afford something like a Silverstone TJ09, I would buy it. But I can't.

Just wanting some opinions on those cases, or possible recommendations for other cases in the $100 - $120 range.
 
What I did on some of my computers is put thin foam infront of the incoming fans. So now all I do is pull the foam, clean it and reinstall it.
