The Antec/Chenming I linked is steel and takes a 120mm front and rear.
I always wanted to see if an aluminum case runs any cooler due to the metal's better heatsinking properties. I doubt it makes much difference but if it survives shipping w/o dents then no worries.
Your A-Top link confuses me and lists different features than those shown at the Egg for A-Top. Slide out side panel and slide out main board tray, while at the Egg no sliding panels or trays.
The hinged side panels shown at the Egg for A-Top is better IMO because it doesn't require moving the case away from the wall to gain access. Although, I'd hate to give up the removable HD cages of the Chenming, the $40 price for that case class is hard to beat.
Does the A-Top case provide a place for a lower front intake fan?
