What case would you buy with this spec?

[rpg]

Need to make sure I'm buying the right case for my build. Originally it was going to be an Antec 902 but I'm worried now as some reviewers stated that while it had good airflow, space was a little cramped.

• i7-930 @ 4GHz+ w/ NH-D14
• Corsair DGT 2000MHz
• ASUS Rampage III Extreme
• Corsair HX 750W
• ASUS ATI HD 5870 (May X-Fire later this year)
• Intel 80GB X-25M
• WD Caviar Black 1TB
• X-Fi XtremeGamer

I don't really want to go past ~£150 for a case, but I will if necessary.

So what would be really helpful in fact is if you could tell me the best case to get full stop and the best case under £150. Maybe the Antec 1200 under £150?

What type of cooling will you use? would watercooling be down th pipeline in the future?

Air cooling for the moment anyway; I might look into it in the future but no immediate plans. I had a look at the Corsair 800D but I read a review where they said that the case was more suited for a water-cooled setup, and didn't perform as well as they had hoped air-cooled.

I have to agree on the HAF 932, looks functional and well-built but it's horrible looking. Antec 1200 looks to be a contender and while it's not as bad as the 932, it's not the greatest looking either. The ATCS840 is nice but it's very plain, it would be nice with a window.

After what bJN suggested, I've been looking at what Lian Li / LanCool have to offer and I do like the LanCool PC-K62R for a few reasons. I like the window on the side, it's relatively subtle, and it's one of the only cases with a red colour scheme. Considering my motherboard, RAM and GFX card will all be red, I think it would look nice overall. Lian Li have a similar case but it's got a massive dragon on the side which looks awful.

Anyway, what do you guys think on the K62?

That's great guys - I think all the cases mentioned are suitable (CoolerMaster 690/840, Antec 1200 etc.) but I'm quite keen on the LanCool K62 and the Lian Li PC-P50R with the dragon panel replaced with the clear window (pictured below). The main reason being the red/black colour scheme matches my components and I know the cases are good quality.
