Looking for a new case, need recommendations

I'm in the market for a new case to replace my original CMStacker. It has served me well, but I am looking for a new case to take care of some of the issues I don't like about the Stacker. Below are the criterion that I am looking for.

1. Top-mounted power button. The case sits on my desk, and a power button on top will make it easier to keep my growing little one's hands away from pressing the button at inopportune times.
2. Silent or near-silent. In my small house, my office has become the nursery; I was lucky enough to keep a corner. I need to keep quiet when the little one is sleeping.
3. Good cable routing/hiding possibilities. I like to keep the inside clean. The ability to hide cables makes me happy.
4. Roomy. I like lots of room to work with; my hands aren't exactly small. I also like room to grow.

My current top two contenders are the Antec P182 and Coolermaster Cosmos. Any recommendations about these, or in addition to these, are greatly appreciated.
 
I heard that the thermallake armor would do all that and more, power on top, quiet, big, organized
 
The Coolermaster HAF 932 and ATCS 840 would be good fits for your needs. Both are very large cases with good airflow, lots of space to route cables, and top-mounted power buttons.
