I strongly recommend Xasers too. I got one and it's not only a beauty but very functional and easy to work on it too. Besides, the fans that come with them are very silent.

The look of a case is a personal matter...what one person likes, another person might not. We can recommend certain brands because they are known to be good quality, but you'll have to decide on which model to get.

Besides cooling, you have to make sure the case comes with a good quality power supply or none at all so you can install your own. If the case comes with a low quality power supply, it's recommended that you replace it with a good one.

The better case brands include Antec, AOpen, Chenbro, Chieftec, CoolerMaster, Enlight, Inwin, Kingwin, Lian-Li, Lite-On and Thermaltake. Most other case brands make decent cases but the power supply that come in them are mostly low quality units. Antec cases are generally a good choice because they're well made, most models have pretty good cooling and they come with Antec power supplies.

I liked that case of yours Propain, it looks good as well as apparently being quiet :)
