Please help me to select a case!

Hi all

I am looking to replace my PC, and want to buy a case too. Theres so many cases out there that I am finding it hard to narrow my search down much. So a little help with this would be very appreciated!!

The case will be used to hold a standard ATX AMD mobo, 965 Phenom processor, with a single 5670 ATI card, 4 hard drives, one dvd drive. Some features I am looking for it to have:

Good cable management system
Side window
At least 1 x 120mm front and 1 x 120mm rear fans (not on top panel, as I seem to spill things too much on top of case) - fans definitely need to be 120mm
USB ports on top panel of case - including one ESata port
Included fans would be nice
Toolless design, everything to be on rails, no screws anywhere ideally, or thumbscrews at worst
Quiet
Not going to be using watercooling so thats not an issue
I want to light it up a little, with some cool blue fans or similar, but no lightshow spectacular
Ideally the mobo to not be too far from the PSU mounting, so that cables can reach it.

Additionally, a removable mobo tray, and easy access to CPU backplate would also be good! I know this list is very specific, but any help at all would be very appreciated!! :) I have a budget of about £75

Cheers
Bigweed
