Looking for a new case

Since I've had my Super Lanboy for a few years I figured it's time for a new case. Originally I was looking at full tower cases, but quickly realized it wouldn't be very practical due to the size, so I'll probably have to go with a mid tower. I plan on just air cooling right now with a single HD4890, E8400, 3 hard drives, and one DVD burner. However, in the future I will likely mess around with water cooling again. So I'm looking for a case with great air flow, but won't be a complete pain in the ass to work with when I decide to go to water cooling.

As far as looks, I don't want some over the top type design. I prefer simple/classy, but with just a little "show." Meaning not completely plain and boring. It should look very nice, just not over the top, if you get what I mean. Build quality is important as well. Another thing that is important is noise. I sleep in the same room with the PC on 24/7 so optimal cooling with minimal noise is important.

Right now I'm kind of leaning towards the SilverStone FT01, but I am open to suggestions. Or if you think I should just go with the FT01, let me know.

EDIT - Oh, I forgot budget. I'm looking at spending around $200 or less; however, if I find a case for just a tad more that I really like, that's fine. I feel $200 is a good budget to work with though without really limiting myself.
 
Why don't you just cut into the case you have now. I will not cut into my Lian Li PC-A20 I spent a retarded amount of money on it and it kills me to even imagine cutting into it...

Tons of fans, tons of space, Sound dampening, no tools needed to install bays, great hd rack.
 
I've been looking around quite a bit more and decided to just go with a mid tower. What does everybody think of the Lian Li A10B? Unless more choices pop up I think right now it's between that and the Silverstone FT01.
