Hi godfather2009....     The Winner in my book is the HafX.  Its front 230mm, side 200mm , top 200mm and back 140mm fans move a ton of air with relative quiet.
 
The 800D is primarily a water cooled case with only a single fan feeding air into the mobo cavity.  It cools fine and lots of people have it with air cooled systems, but the air flow isn't the same as the other 3.
 
The Cosmo2 has a front 200mm, top 120mm , rear 140mm and 2x 120mm in the HDD cage area.  It will cool just fine and has the option of adding a few more fans but more fans mean more noise.  As-is, the HafX beats it. This case is huge and costly.
 
The Silverstone TJ11 has a 2x 180mm fans on the bottom blowing up and a top 120mm fan to exhaust.  The mobo is mounted 90 degrees to cause a vertical airflow that testing shows works.  Some don't like the shifted mobo and side window on the right instaed of the left.  Its cooling matches the HafX in testing I've seen.  But, its 3x the cost of the HafX for the same cooling. 
 
I say the HafX because its the best bang for the buck by a long shot.

Hi godfather2009,

If you are talking air cooling then the HAF-X is the best. You can even add a second 200mm fan to exit at the top. The 230mm and 200mm fans turn at a lower speed than the 120mm fans on other cases. So you get high air cooling with less noise.

For LC I like the 800D. I don't like the 800D for air cooling. It is just not in the same league as the HAF-X when it comes to air cooling.
