I'm looking for a computer case that has more of a brushed aluminum look, or two tone silver(or grey)/black case. Haven't really been able to find any as 90% of computer cases seem to be black. Preferable if it can look good with LED lighting, otherwise I'm not really picky on the specifications.

So far, I like these, though they're black:

Antec Sonata Proto

Antec 1100

Silverstone Aluminum

BUT, only if they were in a lighter shade...

...any suggestions?

Absolutely beautiful case. Thanks for the suggestion! However, I am concerned about temperatures if the front panel is closed. Would the case have enough cooling for intense video editing/3D rendering in that case?
