Now, I love wood, but those are some ugly cases.  To add salt to the wound they're overpriced too.   THey just slapped on some veneer and now you have a wooden case for $500.

These look great.  Thanks for the link!

Remember that more fans mean more noise.  You also want to get a quiet power supply.  I bought some very quiet low speed panaflo fans from here: http://www.coolcases.com.  Unless you are water cooling, make certain that these work with air cooled CPU's.

I looked at putting veneer on my case and it is a real pain.  Many pieces.  Need to be sure you can put it together and take it apart after veneer is applied.

You also need to look at what you would do with the exterior portion of your CD or DVD drives.  They are hidden with the Antec, but exposed if you get one of the others.  You could get some extra veneer, take the bezels off the drives and put the veneer on the front bezel and door.  Maybe paint the button black with plasticote type paint?
