Which case would be best for me?

[TicTac]

Hi all, I hope this question is ok. .

I currently have a crummy 'Delux' case that is a little small, and not what I want.

Before I upgrade the rest of my system I am looking for a better quieter case. These are my requirements;

I will not need to move the case around so weight is not a problem.
I have plenty of space, so the bigger the better - I would prefer it more roomy inside.
As Quiet is possible, as I am aiming for a near silent computer.
No PSU included, (so I can go for the Seasonic S12-500)
Windowed
Not over £80 (about $150)
I don't mind no fans being included as I want to buy my own. . .probably LED lit ones.

So what case sounds the best for me?
Thanks

Stacker 810
Stacker STC-T01
Antec P180
Gigabyte Aurora

The stackers and antec are pretty much equal, so its just preference there.

Bunch of cases under 150 usd with 3 120mm fans

Most of those aren't windowed though, and I would really like a window. . .

I don't think I would be skilled enough to put one in myself. . .

Im strongly moving to the P160 (w), I won 't be doing any case modding though, and would probably substitue the case fans for quieter ones. . . .

Does that sound alright?

I recommend the Antec P180, even though it's a little cramped due to its "PSU-on-bottom" design and doesn't have a window.

Windows aren't exactly good for sound insulation though... I haven't heard of an especially quiet, windowed case yet. Also, keep in mind that LED fans are usually noisier than their non-LED counterparts due to the material used in the fan blades. Usually, it's a trade-off between silence and "bling" (windows, LED fans).
