I'm trying to find a new case basically. My current case is an Eclipse-62 and i love it to bits, but my new build will be coming along soon and i'm deciding to reduce the case size to make it more transportable,LAN parties etc.
Now one of the problems i'm having is finding a case that does what I want with the right styling.
For the looks i'm really into the Lian-Li thing, minimalist front panel with vents, no plastic (one of the only complaints I have with my Eclipse), preferably black, although i could be tempted by silver. Preferably no window, if it has one then "meh", but i've grown out of them as i currently don't water cool and have nothing to show off. As a guide, something like the Lian-Li PC-60 PLUS as a general idea.
For the specs i'm looking something about the same sort of size as the Lian-Li and unless theres no choice id like aluminum. Now where i'm having the trouble is finding something like this with either 1 or 2 120mm slots at the front and back (most have an 80mm at the rear) and finding something without a door. i always thought Lian-Li did a PC-60 series case with this fan arrangement but i cant find anything on it so i'm probably losing my marbles. Drive-wise, minimum 3 exposed 5.25" bays and preferably at least 1 exposed 3.5" bay for my fan controller, although this isn't 100% necessary. Removable MB tray..well it couldn't hurt but its no real issue for me.
anywayz, any recommendations please throw them my way

edit - there is the Gigabyte araura, not totally keen on the styling there so dont bother with that one
