I liked my 900, it was a decent case, the newer 900.2 is also a decent case. The Azza looks decent also, but both kind of lack in cable management, though airflow seems to be there, plus the Azza has a painted interior if that matters to ya. Personally I'd recommend the Cooler Master HAF 922 mid tower, good airflow, cable management (the case is wider than those two, making more room for cable mgt), and looks decent I like the looks of it better than my full-tower 932 tbh. Plus it's in the same price range.

Just some food for thought. But I had a solid experience with the 900 till i had more than one HDD and tossed in my PC P&C PSU that had soo many cables and connections, that made working inside the 900 a lot more of a challenge, that along with the fact it only had 2 holes in the mb tray. I was able to get the job done, but it took much more time than the HAF and my cable management is more for not hindering airflow more than overall looks or hidden. I'd strongly consider the HAF 922 in that price-range though, you'll be pleasantly suprised I do believe.
