None IMO. You can't install even a MSI GTX580 TFII or longer card in any of them without removing HDD rack(s).

The 580 TFII would fit in it...

Ugh I dislike the front panel look of HAF cases. Look too ugly and industrial. Then the NZXT Guardian looks like some flashy case you get from someplace like Cyberpower or Ibuypowerpc.
Based on looks alone (since no link was provided to examine features), I vote neither.

Maybe you're talking about TFIII? The TFII should fit although very very tight.

So many haters so I will stick up for the Guardian. I used it on my previous (C2D) build. Great mid-tower. If you don't want a huge dorky tower the Guardian is a good case and fits 10.5" video cards. It's looks are a lot more subtle than that picture suggests, but at the same time catches everyone's attention. The front door would be annoying if you're in and out of your BD/DVD/CD player a lot. Some of the front ports could be placed better but overall I really enjoyed working with the NZXT Guardian. I debated on using it again on my Sandy build. Though I'm glad I didn't ...mostly because the case fans are louder than I like.
The MSI Lightning is 12" so that would be a problem. Never been a fan of the HAF series so if I had to fit a 12" card I would go to a completely different case.

I will just give a list of cases that I think you should look into.

http://www.newegg.co...N82E16811133183 (with rebate it comes down to your budget) (you could call newegg and ask when they are getting ore in store)
http://www.newegg.co...N82E16811129042
http://www.newegg.co...N82E16811352010 (probably out of your price range, but it is a very well built case.)
http://www.newegg.co...N82E16811146058
These are all well worth the look.
