Need help selecting a case

Background: I just put together a new build based on an ASUS P5W DH Deluxe, E6600, and an X1950XTX. I have a couple of 15K SCSI drives scavanged from salvaged servers that have SCA connectors, so I have adapters to get them to a 68pin cable - the importance of this is they are a little deeper than an everage drive with the connector attached. I also have 2 SATA II 320GB drives. I got a Thermatake Matrix case which I really like, but it's a tad too narrow at 7.5". I can't quite put the side cover on without mashing the scsi cable into the connectors. Also, I spent an extra few bucks on UV cables, LED fans and light to make the cables glow.

So, I want a different case with these attributes:
2 (or more) USB, 1 Firewire, 1 mic, 1 speaker connection on the front, top or front side.
1 or 2 (prefer 2) 3.5 external
4 (or less, but at least 2) 5.25 external
4 (or more) 3.5 internal
Side window - pretty important with LED fans, UV cables, etc.
Great Cooling - 1 or 2 120mm rear, 1 or 2 120 front and maybe 1 or 2 120mm side
Deep enough to take a Tuniq Tower
Colors, lights, funky design acceptable, but not required
Don't care if its got a door on the front or not
Tooless - absolute requirement
At least 8 inches wide

Budget: I'd like to keep it under $200, but if the perfect $250 case was out there, I'd consider it. Obviously, I'm looking for a little bling without being totally over the top.

Any suggestions?
