Which case should I get?

Hey guys,

I'm looking for recommendations on a case to get. The reason i'm asking here is that I know some PSUs have issues fitting in some cases, and even more, some cases have weird setups where the motherboard goes upside down or whatnot and the PSU is in a different area of the case.

My main concerns are if my PSU will fit, and if the big motherboard cable will even reach where it's supposed to go in some cases. Don't want to find out that it doesn't reach after I buy the case.

For example, I know some lian-li's have the PSU on the bottom, but they also turn the motherboard upside down so you're not changing the distance any cable has to travel when compared to a normal case. I believe this is a lian-li, but I'm not positive. Likewise, if I remember right, the p180 has the PSU on the bottom but the motherboard retains its normal orientation.

Besides those factors, I'm looking for a classy/elegant look such as the lian-li's, something with a window, something aluminum, some kind of security mechanism, and I won't be stuffing a WC setup inside it. FYI, my PSU is the OCZ ModStream 450W.
 
Get the Lian-Li PC-V1000 or v1200. You will love it. Most PSU ATX power connectors are long enough. If it's too short, scrap that crappy PSU! My $.02 . Let us know what you decide. Go to Newegg.com. They have an excellent selection.
