Need a Case Recommendation!

So, recently I've been browsing the internet for some good cases, but i am yet to find one I truly want. Currently, I am sticking with the Corsair Obsidian 650D Black Mid Tower Case w/Side Panel Window. However, it is kinda costy ($230). I am happy to pay for a case, that costs no more than $250. Although, I would appreciate a cheaper price.

These are the main features I am looking for:

- Dust prevention: With a dirty room and an old house, it's easy for dust to get trapped in my case. In fact, that's what happened with my old computer and I had to throw it away. So, yeah.

-Good cooling: In my PC build, I'm going to have 16GB of RAM, an i7 processor and a high end graphics card, as well as a 600 watt power supply. So I trust that I'm going to want good cooling. Oh and please note, my room can reach a max temperature of about 45 degrees Celsius. Yeah I live in Australia, it's hot everywhere!

-Attractive design: Who wouldn't want their case to look good? if it's a $1600 computer, I think good looks should be expected. Please NOTE though, looks isn't my highest priority, it's more of a preference.

-Silent: I don't expect it to be pitch silent, but at least silent enough to not be distracting...

-LED Fans: Again, this is a preference.

PLEASE NOTE: I live in Australia, so not all the cases are available for me! :p

Try NZXT cases, or the NZXT Phantom series. Or Cooler Master Storm Trooper or Scout 2.

And this is not related. But my PC is going to cost AUD$1800, how did you get yours at $1600. Is it alright if you PM me the build?

What about the CM Storm Stryker? It has white led fans, enough space for your cooling equipment, very easy to mod, good dust filters and looks good in my opinion. It costs around 130 euros (180 AUD).
