Out of the lot you have listed, I would only reccomend the following 2;

Akasa Eclipse 62 Aluminium Case & Window (BU-000-AK)
Lian-Li PC-G70 Aluminum Mid Tower - Silver (CA-056-LL)

The G70 is a huge, and very well built case, and ideal if ou want to venture into water cooling. The Akasa Eclipse 62 is another highly reccomended case, but IMO doesn't look as good as the G70. You might also want to add the LianLi v1000/v2000 and S80 to your list as well.

yes i like the others you sLian-Li ugested, although none of them come with a clear sidepannel, can you get clear sidepannels for the full tower Lian-Li cases, i dont think the wife would let me spend £200 on a case then me attack it wiht a dremmel and put a side window into it, any ideas about that lol
btw thx for the reply

You can get windows for the V1000/v2000, but not the S80 AFAIK.

A window on a S80 would be pointless.

You could make your own window and post a log up here
