It would be good if you post your configuration too as it would be easy to determine the cooling needed. :)

Otherwise, when comparing looks etc, Guardian is much better. I dont feel any reason to go with Vulcan unless you carry your case all the time(seeing the "handle" on top) :|

I personally like Lexa S due to so many fans come built in the package. :) Also I like its looks. :) Lexa has 4 fans. :)

First of all if the mobo is a full ATX or anything bigger (E-ATX/XL-ATX), then forget about Vulcan. In any case, it has to be Lexa S.

I personally liked the 921RB and would have bought it but needed a bigger cabbie for my needs. But the lexa s is good too.

Two things I would like to say:
1. Without your configuration, either present or future, it is utterly useless to suggest anything here

2. If you have indeed decided between the three, it would be better to create a poll to this thread with your choices.

^^As the motherboard is ATX, forget about the Vulcan. Your mainboard wont fit into it. :)

Lexa S, amongst your choices.

Vulcan, anyday. If you are giving more importance to the internals and if you're buying matx Vulcan is the prefered choice. But personally, NZXT Gamma is the way to go. Most of the gaming cases for lower budget is concentrated more on looks and light. Eventually, that exciting "thing" that made you buy it will fade away as it goes older. Buy a case which will last 2-3 builds.

Check these links to know more about better cooling:-

What is positive air pressure?

How to arrange airflow in your system.

Where do you live? You can also check out for Lian Li Lancool Dragonlord cabinets.

CM Elite 430 is also a good choice if you don't mind protruding cables.

I will not recommend this Cabinet. Cable management is not that good. I realized this after buying that case :(

In this budget you can go with with LEXA S or Gamma.
If you are more interested in looks, then Lexa S otherwise, gamma for comparatively lower price & best value for money ofc. ;)

I agree with this...

My suggestion would be NZXT Gamma - 2.1K & 4*120mm fans
