I'm looking to spend money on what goes inside the case, rather than the case itself, and so am looking at around a £50 ceiling. This case, an Antec Three Hunded is currently what I'm considering - it might not be made for silent running but it looks very nice and has plenty of cooling/connectivity features...
I don't think the cases being mentioned are for hardcore gamers - most of those tend to be lighter (for carrying to LAN parties) and have more bling (cold cathode fluorescents etc.). I offered up the Lian Li because it looks similar to the mac G5 cases (in silver, at least).

However, I understand budget is an issue, which you didn't mention in your original post. I agree that the Antec 300 is a great case for the money, and if you spend a few dollars more you can swap out the Antec fans for Pabst or other quieter fans. Then you'll be good to go thumbsup
