Sleek Case options?

I'm a creative professional looking to build a new system within the next couple months. Design and overall aesthetics of the case matter to me a great deal, which is why I'm kind of a Mac guy. Needless to say, If I'm going to build my own box, I want something that looks sleek and stylish. But I'm having trouble finding a case that really offers the elegance and style that suits my tastes. Then I happened to stumble upon this case, which is more or less a PowerMac G5 clone..

There are a lot of really sleek small form factor designs floating around, like SilverStone products, but a SFF system is out of the question since I'm going to be using this machine as a Workstation/Gaming system. Mid-Tower chassis will be my requirement. Does anyone else know of some sleek looking cases that aren't widely known? I've checked out sites like the one linked above, but most of the options I see available are rather lame in my opinion.
 
i'll be first to say it since everyone recommends this first, Antec P180

edit: you beat me to it!!! darn! 🙁

Call me crazy, but I don't find the Antec P180 even remotely stylish. Just a big generic looking box, IMO. But that's me.

Check out some of Lian Li's cases.. Some of them might tickle your bones.

Personally, I'm a fan of Lian Li cases and other cases which look like the Antec P180.
 
Also, I don't particularly care for cases that have side windows to view the PC's innards. Why this feature is becoming so popular I'll never know.

Bragging rights. If you have something like an X2, dual 7800GTX setup with water cooling, it looks good. 🙂

Ha! Well I suppose that makes sense, but considering what the inside of my PC looks like after a few months, I wouldn't WANT any to see filthy mess inside! 🙂

Lian Li cases look interesting. What the heck is this thing? ...

A very ugly case IMO.

A PC-7 series or PC-60 series case might tickle you.. I like them but I prefer the PC-70 series for it's roomly interior.
 
buy it and tell us how it is, and how you get the cd cover to slide down to accomodate the optical drive tray.
You can only fit a matx motherboard in it. I have an G5 empty case without a psu or sidepanel, after trying to make it into a PC for awhile it was deemed useless and we played baseball with it.
