(the combo with the free processor ended a day early which sucks)

You could save > $100 and keep much of the looks & capability with an M9 case:

a little too late for that--and plus, it does not account for ANY of my requests in the OP. like i said, purchase made.

plus i wanted a case with easy-access to hard drives and PCI cards. thermaltake recommended this as the viable option.

i'm kind of surprised that i spent the most money on my computer on the case. but appearance is everything

I didn't know you'd already bought it -- from what I saw you were still asking questions. There is a version with a clear side panel, and all the other requirements are similarly met. Sorry I tried to help.

not a big deal and thanks, but yeah, kind of out of place given that i acknowledged i already made the purchase and even mentioned how much i paid in total (which included shipping).
