I would keep the beige Pacman and the Antec.

I'd check if any of these could be fully disassembled to take less space in storage first. But keep the first 3 from the left, they are awesome.

Yes keep the beige ! Hard to find those now. Black is black no matter the make/model and are easy to find 😁

Also, should I swap any of the PSU's around? Is there any issues running the older Celeron/Athlon builds on the 600W Enermax PSU's

Depends on the +5V Amps, Athlons want lots amps off that line............

I really like aluminum cases so I would never get rid of the Coolermaster Cavalier.

as long as you don't throw anything away just keep the two you like most.
personally I'd keep the two cooler master cases cause they're the most unique

Thanks for the useful opinions! Currently leaning towards keeping the 2 beige towers (they are the original cases I bought for those builds at the time) and the silver cavalier.

The black cooler master is great, has a slide out MB tray, but doesn't look and feel as nice as the cavalier up close.

The Antec is a really fantastic case, but it is a bit too large for my liking and storage space. Wish it was a bit shorter. If it was considered far better than the cooler masters I would find a way to keep it instead.

I checked and unfortunately it doesn't look like any of them can be easily disassembled.

Not going to throw anything out. I will find a new home for whatever I can't keep.

well in that case I'd choose those over the cooler masters x3
things I originally bought back in the day (if that's what you mean) have a lot more sentimental value

Yeah, that is what I mean.

The beige "Pacman" as Majestyk coined is actually nice for a generic beige case from the time. Has some ok rear vents for fans and slotted vents at the top of the side panels.

The cooler master/antec cases are technically better, but I have less sentimental attachment to those. Will keep one for a P4 build though.

I have build back in teh '90 one computer whit the Black Cooler Master Wave Master TAC-T01, and it is very well build, but too much strange whit it's shape. Mine is alluminiun not painted, much visually better. But the best of the best is the one on the right black painted (i had the withe version and i must say... it is much much better white). So, the Antec is THE workstation/supercomputer case of the PII/P3 era, all my frends buy that in that era, it's shape in absolutely futuristic,elegant,strong,well built, years ahead of everyone. if I wanted to rebuild an assembled computer I would definitely choose that (but white version, and the first one without the USB on the front).
