I'm in the market for a new case. My only requirements are that it has adequate cooling capabilities, a motherboard tray, and looks nice. I'd like to have a window in it as well, I can do that part myself, but if it comes with a nice one that's fine too.

Suggestions?

Edit: ATX form factor, perferably under $200.

Also, I have this case for my old computer:

I'd perfer a style that looked different as I'll be keeping my current machine too.
 
I recommend anything Chieftec, the case's have very good airflow. I own a Matrix series tower and love it. They come with easy 80mm fan snap in mounts which are really nice. Some of them even come with a mounted fan on the side window. I looked at newegg.com for you and found a case you might like if you are worried about airflow and having a side window.

Antec Solutions case

Points I liked:
Rubber Gromets for hard drive mounting
3.5" bays (floppy and hard drive cage) are removable
Has a fan filter built into the front bezel, filter is removable, easy cleaning
Front bezel comes off with just presing to "buttons", no reaching inside to find 6 tabs to snap off
Comes with a 120mm fan for the exhaust, has a 120mm mounting in the front for intake

It's a bit smaller than my regular cases, but that's not always a bad thing.
