Suggestions for a Tall Mid-Tower Case

Hey everyone! Recently my motherboard shorted, and consequently I had to unbuild my system which was in a Inwin 904 case. I still think that case is one of the best looking cases, and I would've been happy with it if I didn't have more performance oriented demands. (Cable management was terrible, everything was extremely cramped, and there was no direct access to the i/o panel.

So as I rebuild my system, I'm looking into potentially getting a different case, and saving the Inwin for another less performance minded build in the future. I'm looking for a suggestion of cases that you've come to like. I would really like a Mid Tower Case that is taller than it is deep, because I will have it horizontal on my desk preferably looking into a window.

Also, here's a list of my components to be more specific with certain items that you may have had trouble with in certain cases:

Asus Maximus VI Formula
Corsair H80i
2x GTX 780 Ti (Reference Cooler). SLI
Silverstone ST85F-GS (I got this because it was one of the few PSU's that fit the Inwin)
5" DVD Drive
1 SSD
1 HDD

I think that's all the components that have a size influence, and it would be great if the radiator and a push/pull fan config could be housed in the case so that I won't see it. Also I'm not in need of many expansion bays for HDDs or SSDs.

I look forward to hearing your opinions!

I'm getting a 1440p monitor soon thats OC'able to 120hz, so I would need 2 of those mean machines to power that on ultra settings. Actually my motherboard got fried when I tried to sli them...

Thanks for the suggestion on the cases, my only issue is that would there be enough airflow from or out of the front since they both look to be covered? I will look more into it, and are they paintable? I'm looking for a more understated look.

I've also came across xigmatek's Talon, any thoughts or experience with that?
