I'm looking for a smaller sized ATX aluminum case similar to the Lian-Li PC 50 but with a side window. I've looked at the Skyhawk Jupiter, PC 50, and Antec Lanboy. All three have their advantages and disadvantages. The lian-li is the smallest but no window and the vertical psu mounting worries me with a larger heat sink (thermalright ax-7). The lanboy has a window, ps, and everything but the front door is a turnoff and it's the largest of the 3 16.05" high. The skyhawk is the middle of the road one. smaller than the lanboy, with a window and a pretty nice lcd. I guess I've also looked at chenming's case, too (the one the lanboy is modeled after).

Does anyone know of other aluminum cases in the 15" height range with a side window?

Here's what I'm really looking for:

height of 15" or less
3 5 1/4 external drive bays
traditional mounting of the psu
pre-modded window
Anodized aluminum (any color but beige)
Under $100

Right now, I'm leaning towards the Jupiter as it is the closest to what I'm looking for.
