Phanteks Enthoo Pro. One of the best cases around $100.  It has a nice clean and professional look to it.

How's the airflow on it?

There are a LOT of options. 

 

NZXT H440

Fractal Design Define R5

Fractal Design Arc XL

Phanteks Enthoo Pro/Luxe

Corsair 750D

NZXT Phantom 630

 

All of them have pros, all of them have cons.

 

Edit: All have pretty good airflow, though the Phantom 630 is likely the best, but not by any huge margin. I bet it's no more than a couple of degrees. 

The H440 and Define R5 are optimized for quietness. 

The Enthoo Luxe has some sweet lighting effects. 

The Arc XL and 750D have an understated design. 

 

It's truly up to you.

Why do you want a full tower? Mid towers these days have all the space you need for most systems.

I'm running a mid tower as are most people here with two gpu's(and most people on the forum actually), a mid tower is completely fine for multi-GPU setups. Here's my system, note that the GPU slot spacing on my board is single slot so that will vary from board to board but you can easily do a triple GPU setup like @Ryan Leech did in a mid tower. The Mid tower is basically the do all case size, people basically only go full tower when they plan on running eATX boards or need tons of drives or space for watercooling hardware or both.
