Dammit, why are there no nice cases available?

I've been looking high and low for a new case to start off a new rig with, but to no avail. None seem to have the class of the old coolermaster cases, and as much as I like Lian Li, they're just not as good imo. The 120mm fans are a bonus, and it would be something that I'd look for when buying a new case for noise reduction. I would use my CM500, but for a modern system it's not got the cooling potential with the PSU blocking the CPU cooler. Unfortunately it's been renegated to server duties.

What I'm trying to say is please please can someone find me a classy aluminium midi tower case with top notch cooling. I'm stumped.

It might have to be a Silverstone TJ04. Not exactly a lot of choice, the PC7 PLUS is pretty good too I suppose, but still they're nothing special really.

Cheers for all the thoughts guys. I think a PC7 would be a stop gap more than anything else. I'm tempted to try to negotiate my chieftec dragon back from my housemate, but honestly I think it'll be just as cheap to buy a Lian Li. Shame it's nothing special, but I suppose it's better than a lot of these "marmite" (cheers Alu_ATC) cases.

That S80 looks lovely, my faith is restored, although I bet it's pricey!
