Clean looking, spacious, functional - The three main criteria for my ideal case.
What's out there that meets those specs?
Gigabyte Aurora3D - got excellent reviews from all the sites i managed to google.

they also have a new revision called the 570, the differences i can see is that they side is now also brushed aluminium (the previous one had a scratch resistant matt look) and slightly taller, but in my opinion doesn't look as good.

both have easy access for water cooling aswell, no hassle in installing any solution..
Coolermaster Stacker or Stacker 830. I have the latter, and found it very easy to build a new Core 2 system in it.
I use a Lian Li V2000 - best case I've had bar none. Very nice interior design as well.
BIG though.
well therell be no need for you to put it into your cupboard! i wouldnt mind taking an aurora off someone's hands!

I do like my antec p180, looks nice, and it's really nice and quiet
Lots of room inside too, could do with a removable motherboard tray too though
Akasa Eclipse.
I don't need to say anymore, but I will
Clean looking - Black and shiny, simple as.
Functional - Extra PCI blanking plates for fan controllers/switches, removeable motherboard tray, can be completely broken down into different parts for ease of access.
Spacious - Its huge, but lightweight, enough room for 9 HDD's if you don't need a floppy, along with 4 5 1/4" bays.
Its such a good case, its that simple, or you can go for the mirage which has that weird door on it.

Another vote for the Gigabyte 3D Aurora, fantastic case. The airflow is superb.
