Question Do you know some good cases??

I am making a pretty ultimate computer, so the case i was looking at could very doubtfully hold my new system( Case: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProduc...factory=BROWSE)

I would like a case with at least 485 watt powersupply, and at least 2 fans. I also do not like fancy cases with ultimate gaming decorations.
