I really like this case. With it's easy-to-install-and-mod design and the acrylic window. But it lacks design. Is there anything like this (next to tool-less) that looks nicer?

Look at the NZXT Phantoms. I have the 410 and really enjoyed the build. Plus it's great for watercooling

Well the Fractal Define R4 w/Window is cheaper and looks good too, IMO. Its one of the most popular case for Mid tower with great cable management and good airflow.
Going a bit higher price wise, NZXT Phantom 530 (Black) looks even better and has the features mentioned above as well, and is bigger (Full tower) too. Both are good technically, you may decide based on design :)

woah! no need to get all aggressive. I just want my first pc build to look good. If you think this is a good reason to get all aggro on me. You obviously can't rationalize the idea of "opinion". I don't have to agree with you.

Best mid tower is the 450D but you can try the graphite 760T from corsair or the aerocool predator x3

I see. It looks great but i can't go for watercooling as this is my first build. But i'm sure it'll work with aircooling, too

wait. I could get the obsidian 450 then replace the fromt 140mm fans with coolermaster BC 140 Red LED Fans then buy some red/white LEDs for the interior. But are those coolermaster fans good?
