Hello guys, so basically this is my first post here, so what I need for a case is:
1.) Aesthetics
2.) Good Airflow or something that can do a push pull configuration
3.) Cable Management
4.) Clear side-panel
5.) Mid-tower or full-tower
6.) Can house 2 MSi GTX 680 Lightning
7.) Can house 4 or more hard drive bays (more is better)
8.) Can house 3 or more 5.25in drives
9.) 7 and up expansion slots
10.) Bottom-mounted PSU
11.) Below $150 well, maybe below $200 :p


I'll just post my specs so you can see what I'm going to house in the case:
1.) CPU = Intel i7-3770K
2.) CPU Cooler = Corsair Hydro Series H100i
3.) Motherboard = Asus P8Z77-V Premium
4.) RAM = Corsair Vengeance Blue 8gb (2x4GB) 2133Mhz 2x
5.) Storage:
HDD = Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200RPM 2x
SSD = OCZ Vertex 4 128GB
6.) GPU = MSI GTX 680 Lightning Edition 2x in SLI (will upgrade sometime to 3-way SLI)
7.) PSU = Rosewill Lightning 1300W
8.) Optical Drive = ASUS BW-12B1ST
9.) OS = Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
10.) Wireless Network Adapter = ASUS PCE-N15
11.) Monitor = BenQ XL2420TX
12.) Mouse = Cyborg R.A.T. 9
13.) Case Fan = Cooler Master R4-L2R-20AC-GP 3x
14.) Card Reader = NZXT Aperture M
15.) Gamepad = Microsoft 360 Wireless
16.) Headset = Corsair Vengeance 2000
17.) Keyboard = Cyborg S.T.R.I.K.E. 7

I recommend you take a look at some Lian Li cases for their excellent build quality. Some of their bigger tower fulfill all those expectations you listed.

Can I just say, with that setup. You won't be needing a PSU like that, even in tri-sli the 680GTX's don't require such power. Something around the 1000W mark will do absolutely fine. Corsair and BeQuiet have some nice models.

Having said that, something with 850W would also do the job. Again, Corsair have nice PSU's.
