Can anyone help me choose a fulltower case?

I've been relentlessly searching around Newegg, Tigerdirect, and Xoxide. Whenever I ask for advice on the subject, I'm usually pointed toward the HAF series; Though, I'm not particularly partial to it.


Can anyone recommend any fulltowers that:

-Don't look rugged/like a tank
-Have great airflow, and can mount a 240mm rad/the Corsair H100

?

Thanks in advance.

Look no further than the NZXT Phantom or the Fractal Design Define XL. :)

I love both of these, but,

For the Define XL, where would I mount the RAD?

The Phantom is amazing, but unfortunately, my desk is only 24" tall from the front to the wall. It wouldn't fit.
 
You'd probably have to mount the rad externally.

You can always sit the PC on the floor. Why exactly do you need a full-tower case? Sounds like your desk may not be big enough!

For superb ventilation, future expandability, space for internal RADs and clearance for a possible custom watercooling system sometime in the future, as well as for the room needed to house my GTX 670.

The total desk area available to whatever tower I get is 24 inches front to back (Back being the wall), and 10 inches width. Height doesn't really matter.
