Case Recommendation

I need a new case, my daughter ripped the front door off of my case last week. Problem is I have a very large thermaltake cpu fan, so I need room in my case. I have a 2.4 GHz quad core Q6600 that I am overclocking, so good airflow is required. I am also a pseudo gamer, so a nice looking case with pretty lights would also be required I also have a 8800 GT video card, so room is required for that card as well. Thanks in advance!

I have the antec 900, and I do not like it. The hard drive cages are a pain in the butt. It is also very tight in there. I have an 8800 gts 640 and only have a couple of inches between the back of the card and the back of the hd cages. however it does keep my system cool. I have been looking at this cooler master

Some reviews are giving inside case dimensions now such as the distance between the back of the case and hard drive rack, for your graphics card ..and other important dimensions such as the distance between the CPU and the case side wall, for the HSF. Look for those dimensions in reviews or on the manufacturers websites.
