I'm building a new system soon, nforce 4 based, 3500+ processor, X800XT PCI-E vid card. But I'm not yet sure about which case to get. I've got a few cases I like, I'll list them here.

Lian Li PC-V1100 (No PSU) ( ? 257,-)
http://www.lian-li.com/products/pcv1100.htm

Antec P160-EU Performance One (No PSU) (? 119,-)
http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=81600

Silverstone Temjin SST-TJ03 (No PSU) ( ? 269,-)
http://www.silverstonetek.com/products-tj03.htm

What's important to me:
1. Silence
2. Look (Note: I hate the cases that look like the mighty morphin' power rangers, I like 'em stylish)
3. Durability (Not a flimsy plastic case please)
4. Expandability
5. Cooling

What I'd like is to hear from you what the best of these 3 cases is or suggestions for other cases.
Note: I couldn't care less about bang for the buck, I'm willing to spend 300 euros if that means getting a product that's significantly better. However, 300 euros is about my limit.

I hate fiddling with front panels, so I say the Antec. Last place for me is the Lian Li. The silverstone looks great, but where are the drives hiding?

WTF, how is this a no-brainer? They are all awesome cases.

Personally I would go with the Lian Li.

Eh lian li cases are nice, but that kinda of money its really ridculous. For that kinda of money that case is really ugly in my opinion. Silverstone is gogin to be a loud bitch becuasey of the two 80mm exhuast fans. Right now i am going wiht the antec, nice price and its going to be really quiet with the 120 mm fan

The V1100 looks better in person then those pictures would lead you to believe. Also, just because a case uses 80mm doesn?t mean it has to be loud.
