My new Rig - Case Needed?

It is time that i spent a wad on bits, so decided to get a nice new case for all my bits.

Now, i fancy a case which is going to be very upgradeable but can be very cool.

I do fancy water cooling, but just don't know enough about it, so after some advice before i spend £150+ on a case and cooling solutions.

Realistically i would want a nice case which looks good, but that does not have to be an option.

My initial choices are these, but i am subject to change if the right case appears or is recommended.
Antec 1200 Ultimate Gaming Case
Clear Cases (Which can be changed and swapped etc.
Thermaltake VH6000BWS Armor +
Lian Li Armorsuit PC-P60B

Now these cases may be gash, and i dont mind this can change, but im after a big enough case WITHOUT wheels, i have enough cases on wheels to deal with at work so no thanks at home.

Any recommendation on these cases and/or water cooling. I presume there is advantages and disadvantages so you can list them below if you so wish.

Please note - costing of the cases in the examples is irrelevant as i will be going though trade.

Have a look at the Coolermaster stacker. I have one big case loads of room in it and they look half decent. Also offer great cooling as standard due to the ability of it to hold 8+ 120mm fans.

Antec all the way. I've got an Antec 900 which is overkill for cooling on air as it is.

I've got a heavily overclocked system and it's very stable.

(louder than some people like though)

The Lian Li gets my vote, haven't looked at that case in detail personally but I won't buy anything else anymore. That or antec.

My bro got the antec 300 and its very well made, looks subtle and i'm soo impressed with it for £35
