Could anyone point me out to a good case that would be big enough for the following components?

Intel QX6850 w/ Tuniq Tower 120
2X 8800 Ultras
eVGA 680i SLI Mobo
WD Raptor X
Hitachi 250Gb
Silverstone 850W PSU
Kingston 4gb DDR2-800
Pioneer DVD Drive
Creative Xi-Fi Xtreme Gamer

My priorities are a good cooling solution and good looks...

I have looked at the Silverstone TJ-09. It looked really nice, but I wasn't happy that you had to buy extra fans for it (it only comes with two 120mm fans)...
Then, I looked at the Lian-Li PC-V2000B Plus II. It was priced well and had four 120mm fans, but I didn't like how it looked at all...

Therefore, I am looking for other alternatives around the $300 range. Preferably, I would NOT like to get a huge case. (Nothing bigger than the TJ-09, hopefully smaller if cooling is not compromised)
 
Lian-Li make very solid cases, buy they're not great on the looks. Personally I would get one of the following. They are both nice looking big cases.

Gigabyte Aurora This one comes in silver also if thats how you like it.
Thermaltake Armor
 
I looked at those cases, but I like cases that are more like the TJ-09, simple but good-looking. I would rather have no windows on the case.

Also, I heard someone had problems fitting two 8800 Ultras in the Thermaltake Armor.
 
Having to get extra fans shouldn't be that big of a deal if you really like the TJ-09. Just order some yate-loons. They're cheap and quiet.
