Suggestions for large $125-$150 case?

[oneils]

Hi guys, my computer had its second birthday a few months ago and I'm ready to build a new one. The only thing really holding me back is the case. Normally I'm a function over form kinda guy. But, lately, I find myself looking at cases and saying "eewwh!" and "boring!"

I really would just like something that is large enough to work comfortably with. A removable motherboard tray would be great too.

My budget is about $125-$150 american. I find myself always going back to Antec's p180...but, from what I can tell it does not have a removable mobo tray...and I'm not a big fan of the aesthetics.

A local dealer does have some nice lian-li cases in stock:

But, I have no idea which of those is a good buy. Any suggestions?

Cool, thanks for the input guys.

Had a look at the TT Armor, don't know...not a big fan of the side window design. If I get a case with a window, I'd want something a little more subtle.

The CM stacker is interesting. Looks huge, I probably would never have problems installing a motherboard. I have a Sonata right now, and its such a pain in the ass to work with.

Off to check out the Lian-Li...

oneils the stacker and armor have very similar designs, and if u dont like the window on the armor u can get one without or get one with a 250mm side fan in it
