Bad-Ass Full Tower ... Reccomendations?

Here are my requirements:

At least 6 3.5" HD bays (9-12 would be better :D)
Lots of 120mm+ fans (noise is not a concern here)
REMOVEABLE motherboard tray, full slide, from rear (no "flip down" crap)
Preferably wheeled

So far I'm leaning towards FrozenCPU's Blizzard ... looks to be the only one I've found that satisfies all the requirements. A bit pricey ($300) but that isn't my concern.

Lian-Li has some nice ones but IMHO they are way overpriced. Don't really like aluminum either.

Any other suggestions? I will be doing 8800GTX SLI so cooling and space are really the two main requirements. Oh, and don't mention Antec. I've got a pair of P180's and they suck.

Yeah, I should have added that. I don't want to spend 30 minutes disassembling just to slide out the mobo tray.

I don't understand why the full-slide removeable trays (and removeable trays in general) seem to have disappeared? I think it is the single handiest feature and I'll gladly pay more for it.
 
only thign that can suit your needs is the Thermaltake VE1000BWS Mozart TX Full Tower Case w/Side Window - Black
but you will need to find some wheels for it..
 
I mounted a set of Lian-li casters on my TJ07 and absolutely hated them.
You can only roll forward/back, any attempt to slide sideways dislodges the rubber treads.
An independent set of casters (like the ones used on the Stacker) would make much more sense.
Ultimately I decided that casters ruined the proportions of the case and dispensed with them altogether. It's a little harder to move around but I don't do that much anyway and the aesthetics are better so I live with the (slight) inconvenience.
