Why does anyone want to own a case with window anymore. I'm into "Quiet n Classy" myself. I have the Antec SLK3700AMB and LOVE it. I got tired of all the lights, windows and crap, looks like a little kiddie case IMO.

Heres a shot of mine with the door closed and another with the door open. Its gotta big 120mm fan in back that spins at lower RPMs for less noise, but still cools very nicely. Besides I have it run to the Coolermaster Aerogate you see in the second pic so I can control the speed. Don't mind the rats nest of wires, I'm working on that.

Newegg has it for 64 bucks.

Also it has a washable air filter in the front. Peace.
 
i have the antec p-160 case and i just built my PC like 2 weeks ago. The case looks REALLY nice when finished. The case isnt to build in. The HD bays are turned 90 degrees to make connected hard drives REAL easy. It has a nice large window and 2 120 mm fans. Makes for a real nice looking, quiet case. It also has a panel on the front with the temperature gauges. The only problem with this case is the installation of the 5.25s. You have to rip the front bezel off, which is quite a pain. You have to squeeze these pegs and push it off. Feels like its going to break, but it comes off without breaking anything.
 
I will say that that CoolerMaster Praetorian and Lian Li V1000B do look pretty nice however.

I was looking at
this one. But decided it was to much without a ps.

Dude, the Lian-Li mounts the MB upside down to let cooler air hit the CPU and mounts the PSU in the bottom of the case in a separate chamber so it doesn't share heat with the CPU/GPU. It's FAR beyond looks with that one.
