Well... when buying a case there are alot of things to consider...
Firstly, size, will it fit all of your components, and how many drive bays do you want? Some can hold up to 15, but that comes at a price. You can get sleek and sexy mini cases right through to the supertowers with 15+ drivebays.
Obviously there is how it looks, in your case shiny and with a window, and that isnt hard; aluminium is better for technical reasons, but makes the case heavier.

You can also consider how the in built cooling system (case fans and air ducts etc) affect performance, if it matters in your case.

Finally, I'd ask what are you willing to spend... If you answer those I could recommend a few, but here are a few good sites to get a good idea, if I were you I'd take down the name, make and model of the one you like once youve found it, and search it on www.froogle.com, which is really easy to use, and will get you the cheapest price, so remember to shop around Frooogle searches all the big online stores.

Heres what I got on Google (Not froogle!)

Heres some good deals on Froogle, take a look

I know your not in the UK, so I made the prices to dollars (USD) , as froogle.no links to the froogle.com

Speaking off Supertowers, look at this! CC-970AW Aluminium SOHO Server Tower Case w/ See Thru... I like the look of a Server Tower!
