Looking For A New Case

I've playing with the idea of getting a new case. I currently have a Thermaltake Armor 8000. I love it save for one thing:

That about as good as it's going to get for cable management with my setup in that case. Here's what I'm looking for:

1. Cable management is my top priority.
2. I want a nice looking case. Something clean without a lot of clutter. And it has to be black. Having the inside black as well would be a plus but I can always paint it. I would also prefer something with a side window.
3. I want the PSU on the bottom and the HDDs mounted towards the side of the case. There also needs to be four slots for HDDs and at least two 5 1/4 slots, three preferred.
4. No 80mm fans, 120mm minimum and no side fans. It also has to be able to fit my Zalman 9900 which is 152mm tall.
5. Budget is no more than $200.

Here's what I found so far: Lian Li LanCool K62.

I spent some time looking around Newegg but they need a option to sort by cable management. So, post me up some ideas of some cases to look at. I really like that Lian Li but would like to see some other, similar options.
 
I guess the new CM 690-II also offers a pretty good cable management.

Also check the Fractal Design Define R2. Brings (afair) 8 internal 3,5" slots and 2 5,25" external slots. Comes with stock insulation. Outside is very clean, has a front door, design reminds a bit of Antec's P18X-cases
 
I have a thermaltake Shark case... comes in box slightly used... have pretty much everything for it...

including the box it came is... including a bunch of extra fans...

asking $60 +shipping it has a removable motherboard tray great cable management.. watercooling ready quick drive removal .. etc etc.. you can look it up



its a full tower case... all black lemme know!
