Should I go with a Full Tower?

Building a new rig, and I usually go with Mid-Tower ATX cases, but I'm wondering if I should pick a Full-Tower this time around. I'm looking to go with a SLI or Crossfire build, and wondering how those of you with full towers like the cases. Do they give you a lot of room for good wire-management? Do they seem too big?

Thanks for the input.

Take a good look at the Coolermaster RC690. It has an excellent wire management system. I would also highly recommend one of the Corsair modular power supplies for better wire management.

I'll check them out. One thing I noticed about most Full Towers is that the PSU is on the bottom, and not mounted up top, seems like this could be a good thing for some spacey Heatsinks and wire-management too.

*edit*- Looking at that Coolmaster case, looks pretty nice, and a bottom mounted PSU as well. One of my main concerns is if I go with a cooler like a Thermaltake Spin-Q, or Zalman 9900, it won't fit.

I'm also looking at cases like the Antec 1200, and Lian Li, they seem like great quality, with a ton of room.
