C2D Case Suggestion?

[RhythmMgmnt]

Was originally planning on the Thermaltake Armor Series VA8003BWS, but after actually measuring the space where it will sit, the thing juts out about 4 inches into the workspace, which is already pretty cramped as it is. (You thought I woulda measured this first )

Anyway, I may still stick with it, but looking for other quality suggestions. It's also kind of...well...ugly, but is big for nice airflow and not to mention the 25cm fan on the side.

My only concern is my the Scythe Ninja on a smaller than full-tower ATX case (that it won't hit the side).

Here are my parts so far:

I myself am building a Conroe rig, and I'm going with the Cooler Master Ammo 533. It has a lot of great reviews

I like the Kandalf but the flip-top USB access is probably gonna hit my pullout keyboard drawer. I like the fan option for the sideÂ… how about these 2 cases which have the 25cm fans?

My only concern is if either case can handle my Scythe Ninja. Here are comparative dimensions:

Thermaltake Kandalf 22.1" x 8.7" x 20.9" (D x W x H)
Enermax ECA3052BS Chakra 19.3" x 7.9" x 17.9" (D x W x H)
AeroCool ExtremEngine 3T 17.3" x 7.9" x 17" (D*W*H)
Thermaltake Armor 20.8'' x 8.7'' x 22'' (H x W x D)
