Case selection

I've still got months to go till i build, but planning/reading up before I buy.
These are my case choices just now, but looking for thoughts on chosen or any other ideas, but would like one with a window.

1. Silverstone tj10bw-esa. Comes with everything i need and want but is more expensive than I would like at £250. Comes with 5 120mm fans with LEDS, and 3other lighting devices.

2. LianLi PCa7710. Not released yet, much unknown would want to purchase side window.

3.Coolermaster 832. Only started reading up, would need new fans (am I correct?) but with lighting mesh can be seen through.

I know Iam talking about lighting but I dont want it nedtastic (thats chavtastic) just tasteful, I know the tj10 looks sort of neddish when all light up, so maybe an other thing. I think att the moment thats my dream case.....but i suppose I could get the normal tj10 and put my own mods in =S
As for lighting themes (that isnt the bright green of the tj10) thinking about red, or purple and orange.

so yeah thoughts, suggestions, any point you want to make/discuss?

thats the thing, havnt worked out that side of the budget, its sort of an overall budget and as one moves up an other part has to decrease.
I know just looking at prices it might not be in the same league.
Over all price is £800/£900 but would also like new keyboard, need new speakers and dont need a monitor. But i some-one that doesnt wasnt to spend £50 on a keyboard, so looking 20ish out of that for keyboard, with maybe 50 for the speakers.
lets just say £800over all not counting accessories.
And then I recon parts, if i was to buy today, is around £600.

i know its stupid but I blame myself studying design, so quite frankly it's sort of going on looks. So with looks at cheap price cooling and quality arnt allways good.

i do like the looks of it, but kinda lacking a side window, as far as i can see.

just been looking on the auction site for leds for cases came across this:

Yellow LED Set of 20x 30cm Pre Wired 10mm 12VDC Ready

how easy are something like that able to connect the psu?
just got myself a modding idea......dont worry would be tastefull.
Or if you want to know whats in my head I want to different colours of lighting to like merge togeather in a gradiant, any ideas how to do this?
i was thinking maybe a cluster leds say in the corner, and from that corner then get a cold cathode tube going up/along?
