Looking for a new case

Hi all, I've had my P182 for around a year and a half now, and I think I may need something else. Although I've been extremely satisfied with my P182, my space requirements seem to have outgrown it. After I installed a water cooling loop, there's just not that much room left.

Things I'm looking for:
  • Water cooling friendly case (I'd like to be able to mount a 120.2 or a 120.3 radiator)
  • Simple and attractive (understated looks -- like a lian-li) -- Basically, no ricer cases
  • A window would be nice, but is not necessary
  • Coherent layout (I need to be able to route cables without making spaghetti)
  • Ample space (Enough to comfortably manage a lagrge water cooling loop, the reservoir, and the pump)
  • Quiet is a definite plus, although I'm willing to sacrifice some for other benefits
  • Any other features you think I might enjoy/benefit from that I have forgotten or am unaware of

Any and all help is welcome and appreciated.
 
a Lian Li pc-v1200b.
plenty of room.
easily manageable.
not the quietest.
work of art...it doesnt have all the extra tacky features.

Looks nice. It's a shame none of my local retailers carry Lian-li, because I'd like to see this in person.

Didn't Best Buy carry a rebadged Lian-li? Maybe they've got something like this.
 
I really like the looks of the SilverStone TJ09 and TJ10. They appear to be the same case, or at least I can't spot the differences.
 
I love my CM690

It's not to big and not to small and looks plain and sleek just take all that dust "protector" crap out

From what I've read, the CM690 is about the same size as my P182, which isn't big enough.

I'm glad you love yours, though. :)

They are almost identical. The TJ10 has a door, whilst the TJ09 does not. I don't believe there are any other differences, as far as I know.

I personally prefer the TJ09 myself. ;)
 
Anyone know if there's anything like an ATCS 840 with a window?

Some people were complaining that the TJ09's side panels weren't the greatest.

Hiper Osiris. Got this case for my last build and it's fantastic. Has plenty of room inside (fit my 8800 easily) and is very well built. Also love how easy the side panels are to take off.

It is important to point out that the Hiper Anubis is basically the same enclosure save for the exterior styling and a door. But yes, I agree. The Hiper Osiris is an excellent enclosure.
