Need help finding a case

I'm currently in the process of building a new computer. My biggest issue right now is trying to find a case.
I'm not overly picky about the details except for size. My problem is that due to the desk that I have, my
max depth for the case is about 18". The case will be holding a P35 or 650i based ATX mobo, E4400 CPU,
2x1gb DDR2-800 memory, 2x HDDs, 1 DVD drive, 1 floppy drive, 7950GT video card.


What I'm looking for:
Depth of 18" or less (absolute max of 18.5")
prefer not to have a door (unless power button is accessible without opening door)
black/gray/silver in color
would like to stay under $100 w/o PSU

So far after a few days of searching this is the best I've come up with

If anyone could help me find a few more good options I would greatly appreciate it.
 
I've got a similar case to the Masstige (the Coolview) but I went back to my Rosewill because the place I have to put my case is on the side of my desk - can't get to the guts of my Coolview without moving it. The R6A Rosewills are the same as the Antec SLK3000-B inside. I have the R5604 myself see my Rosewill thread here: http://forums.anandtech.com/me...ey=y&keyword1=rosewill

I think the R6AS5-BK is the best of the 6A series but they have the same limitation as the Antec in that the interior space is kind of thight. But if you don't plan any long video cards, etc., it should do you fine.
