Picking out a case!

Hello!

I am looking into getting a upgrade for my motherboard, processor, ram and case and I have sorted out a wide variety of choices for all of them except the case. The case I am looking for needs to be aesthetically pleasing as I will be eventually putting it on my desk and will be in awe of it every half a minute. I wear very premium, gaming headphones so the noise of stock fans won't bother me too much - as long as it isn't over the top, vibrating sound. I will be probably installing after market fans in the future, something to go with the overall colour theme.

I keep thinking I need to make a compromise somewhere because I can't find a case that is both amazing to look at and excels in mostly all the functions and dimensions inside the case. I want a lot of airflow and generally a lot of room - I have never worked with a big case before and the idea sounds very tempting. I am generally open to all recommendations though. I have a lot of Razer gear and most of that has green LEDs so if something pops up that is amazing and green that would be even better.

I am looking to spend anywhere up to £140 if I feel the case is worth it. This means I would want great cable management and many radiators/fan configurations for later building. This case will likely be around for a decade or so before changing so I will be going through a couple of changes whilst owning this case in terms of hardware.

Like I mentioned before, all recommendations are welcomed. It's just one of those things I can't choose without some help. It's almost like a fashion statement, I want people to be in awe when they see my beautiful machine, my baby.

I would also ideally want a full size window or any size for that matter just to see the inside of it. I am also not a huge fan of doors on the front of a case unless it rotates all the way round. I've had a few that have snapped off.

You could actually purchase side panel with full window for this case.
Also, I don't see how you will snap the doors off these :O unless you have them open 24/7 for some reason. These doors are shut pretty well secured.
