Default What Case Should I Get?

I'm looking for a case for a rig I'm building. It has to be big, have a window, and be good looking .

This one is on the top of my list at the moment:-
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=469182.
NZXT Trinity Black Midi Tower Case with side window.

I would like one without a PSU, and one that is under (and has to be, otherwise I won't be able to get my keyboard).

Do you have a link from the UK? Sorry, I'm drowning in homework/coursework at the moment, so I have very little time.

How about the Enermax CS-527. It's pretty cool. Or you can look at the X-Blade above it Both seem good choices and I'm constantly bickering with myself which one to get.
