looking for full tower case

I am putting together a new system, and am confused by the huge selection of cases. I currently have a full tower case, that I have used for the last 5 years. I like having a full tower, I tend to be a bit of a clutz, and need the room to work in. I also like the cooling, and I tend to end up with several hard drives, optical drives, etc.

I am currently leaning towards the Antec Twelve Hundred, which is fairly new. I have also heard things about the CM Stackers, but there are quite a few to choose from.

I would like a case that has good cooling, is easy to work with, fairly quiet, and hopefully good looking. I will be putting an Abit IP35 Pro mobo in, and am hoping to get one of the new video cards once things shake out a bit. I already have the Corsair 750watt power supply.

Budget is around $200.

Which ones should I be looking at? thanks in advance!
 
Yep, CM Stacker RC-810 would be one of the most spacious (WTX mobo makes ATX look small) cases if it were still available.
(Blinged 83x models are internally smaller than real Stackers... because of that bling taking space)

It's big only in extra space above motherboard, it can't even house E-ATX motherboard (good measure for spacious interior) which leads HDDs and opticals sticking near motherboard.

How about Lian Li A70B?
HDDs and opticals won't stick in front of other components in it:

You might want to take a look at the Thermaltake Armor+ (note the "+" in the modelname), it is a full sized big tower with lots of space and nice features:
- Removable motherboard tray
- Up to seven 3.5" drive slots
- Up to seven 5.25" bays
- Cable management
and more....

Only downside is the plastic top. I don't care about it, but many people dislike it.
 
i've said it before and ill say it again. Lian Li all the way. Best quality case i have ever owned. Full tower cases are HUGE. mabe a little over your price range but well WELL worth it. you should definately look into one.
