I have quite a dilemma, I recently built a Antec 1200 for a friend of mine. Turns out though that now I am stuck because I really don't want the same case as him, yet I like many things about the Antec: price, number of fans, layout, black paint. So I have been trying to find an alternative or at least something that I can really be happy with. I am willing to spend 150-250 and looking for something comparable, but I don't want the same case.

Some things that are aesthetically pleasing to me:
Brushed Aluminum (some of the Lian Li's are nice)
Window (practically a must have, unless its exterior makes up for it somehow)
Lights that are done in good taste ( I can put these in myself if necessary)

Are there any recommendations?
 
Its ok, but seems that there is a little bit much plastic on the outside for me and I don't particularly like the look of it. Very close though! Thank you!
 
I like that choice quite a bit, I have some cable management concerns from one of those newegg reviews, but it seems like a solid choice. Not totally sold yet though. Anything by Lian Li you might recommend?

EDIT:
I just spent some time really looking at the New Lian Li case TYR PC-X500 thread and really like the way it looks, is there something a little bit more affordable that has a window, I don't care if the drives are on the side or not.
 
Wow awesome, those are really good, do they make a version of that cooler master without the "X" on the other side panel? These are some serious contenders and I will probably pick one of those for sure. Thanks a ton LostStorm!
