For the simple look, I like the Fractal Design R4 (very quiet and keeps things cool):
Case: Fractal Design Define R4 (Black Pearl) ATX Mid Tower Case ($99.99 @ Micro Center)

For something with a bit more shape I like the NZXT phantoms (they come in lots of different colors if you don't want black):
Case: NZXT Phantom 410 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($85.99 @ Mwave)

A lot of people like the Cooler Master cases, they just aren't my thing though:
Case: Cooler Master Storm Enforcer ATX Mid Tower Case ($69.99 @ TigerDirect)

Case: Cooler Master HAF 922 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($99.99 @ Newegg)

Here is a corsair one:
Case: Corsair 500R Black ATX Mid Tower...

If you wanted to overclock you would need an aftermarket cooler like the Cooler Master 212 Evo. Also, if you got a cheaper case you could get a more powerful graphics card.

There are so many cases out there to choose from it is a bit overwhelming. Try to stick to the Corsair, Cooler Master, NZXT, Fractal Design, Lian Li, or Antec cases.
