Looking for a new case

Because my current case cooling system isn't sufficient anymore i'm thinking about getting myself a new case. I've got quite a big list of demands so bear with me.

Cooling
- Obviously it needs to be top notch. I need at least 2x 120mm fans at the front and 2x 120mm at the back (or top). More is always better. My case sits in between two plates of wood so side fans are pretty much useless. Same goes for bottom fans because my house gets pretty dusty.

Size
- Maximum 22 cm's wide, 60cm's high and 50 cm's deep. I might be able to get a few more cm's at the back but then i'll have to start drilling holes.

Others
- I absolutely LOVE my space behind my mobo tray. So i really need this again in my new case.
- Also i would my psu in the bottom, top is okay to but i prefer the bottom.
- Minimum of 4x 5,25 external bays (more is always better)
- Minimum of 4x 3,5 internal bays (more is always better)

Now the only thing that fits my description is an Antec 1200 and the Lian Li Armorsuit PC-P60B. Which i both really like but i'm still a bit hesitant. Does anyone have any more suggestions?

I'm gonna say if you choose one of those two I'd go the 1200.
It cools well and has a lot of room, easy wire management, and a good amount of fans (and 2 optional fan areas).
I have mine water cooled and it still has plenty of room.
 
i'm kinda leaning towards the 1200. i'm reading reviews on it now. But i'm wondering how do you clean those dust filters? i mean how do you get those things out of there?

There is thumb screws on both side of the bay enclosures. You remove them, all 8, then slide the bay forward about an inch. There is a small tab at front of bay, you simply pull it up and wipe the screen down.

ah bummer so you need to get inside the case for that... was hoping on a system like my p182 where you can just clip them off.

anyways no other suggestions?
 
I would have said go ThermalTake but it seams they pulled alot of their dual 120mm cases off of the market now that they are trying to join the side fan hoopla I would go with the antec though unless you are going to upgrade to liquid cooling LL have a lot of liquid cooling stuff out that is tailored to their cases.
