NZXT Panzer Box
NZXT's Panzer, when not crossing the Rhine and crushing human skulls, is designed to keep powerful gaming components cool with the minimum of neon bling. It's reasonably-priced, too, at $120.

I built a bunch of computers out of the NZXT "Hush' HU001 case a while ago. Some of the best designed and build PC cases I've used, good cooling, foam sound suppression, and a good price.

$120 for that small case is reasonably priced?
I paid $80 for the Enermax Chakra case, which boasts a 25cm side fan, 5 front drive bays, 3 tool-free hard drive bays, and other pretty decent accoutrements.
Basically it's a well-cooled case larger than this one, that I paid $40 less for. I recommend it.

Reasonably priced for an all-aluminum premium ATX case.
Heavily borrows elements from Lian-Li and Silverstone, but I guess it's hard to be completely original or innovative in the PC case world without being downright ugly.
Looks pretty damn good, but I prefer a little more room in my chassis for drives -- a couple more inches of height in this thing would make me real happy.

I went with a massive Thermaltake Armor Series for my latest build.
It has lights, but I clipped 'em.
It's a huge case, but has a BTX conversion kit and lots of space for whatever comes along in the future.
That being said I would use this NZXT case in a heartbeat for a different type of project.
It's quite nice.

Or you could pick up a Coolmax CV-502 (or similar, mine is black with a slightly different model number and included a power supply for under $40 incl. tax) for less than $30, includes mounting points for both 80 and 120mm fans on the front and additional drive bays.
