Ideal case for my needs

Hi i will be buying a new case this Friday and im finding it hard to pick one. Im after something quiet, cool and plenty of space with a budget of £100.

Would prefer something with plenty of space between the GPU and where the HDD's mount. I like the look of the Fractal Design Define R2 but dont like the fact there is no room for a fan controller with the door shut.

Not into flashing lights and massive fans just something simple. I was set to buy the Zalman GS1000-SE but do not like the idea of no cooling over the HDD's.

Any help would be great thanks

I would recommend the HAF 932

But it's a marmots thing

Yeah had a look at it and not sure. Dont like all the big over sized fans. I know you can change some to a normal 120mm fan but not sure on the front red one

These are supposed to be pretty good cases too.

For myself, its the Antec 902 but wouldn't say no to one of those ^^^

The Raven looks nice but not sure how it would work with a wireless network card due to the PCI slots being covered over. Does anyone have one?

Anyone? Not sure if i should go for a cheaper case and upgrade my GPU instead. Currently got a 8800GT with a passive cooler on which means i need good airflow over it.
