Looking for a case for SLI

Hi. I tried searching, but couldn't quite find what I'm looking for. I plan on constructing an AMD x2 rig with one 7800GTX for now, and might add another later. I'm looking for a case that will keep this machine cool and most importantly quiet, so 120mm fans are preferred. I absolutely LOVE the look of the Silverstone TJ03, but I don't like the price. :D I want something probably made of brushed aluminum, nothing flashy and bright. I probably want a black or silver case that looks nice and sleek and professional.

I am looking for a nice case, hopefully under $180 or so, that would offer a good amount of room to work with, low noise, and good cooling. It would also be nice to be able to watercool it later without too much modifying, but that isn't too important of a requirement of the case.

Any help is appreciated.

Cliffs:
-X2 and SLI
-Cool
-Quiet
-Roomy
-Professional look
 
Yeah, that was one of the ones I was considering.

Stacker?
TJ05 ?
P180?
Splurge and go TJ03?

Others?
 
Stacker.

the P180 i just dont see not having to be modded for watercooling.
TJ03 isnt too shabby, too expensive for me though.
TJ05..small, too small for me.
 
Stackers are pretty nice. Only thing I could ask for is maybe a more "sleek and professional" look. I do like how I could add a dual 120mm heatercore without any modding, not to mention I can fit a shitload of stuff in there. Are they fairly quiet?
 
my case is roughly a foot away from me and the only thing thats really audible are my hdd's.
cant hear my 120's, the whirr of the 80 is a little noticeable, but only if im on that side of the case.
 
Would you reccomend the stacker with, or without a window, or is it all personal preference, and makes no effect on cooling or noise.
 
stacker is a nice case .. i would wait for the 810 to come out
that has 2x120 exhausts instead of the space for a second psu ..
