Good looking mATX cases?

Good looking case, I agree, but is there anything that's a bit more vertical like the x51? Or am I just a dreamer like Linus? xD

Ohhh! What about that brilliant case by Lian Li? http://www.lian-li.com/en/dt_portfolio/pc-o6s/

So, I own an Alienware x51 r2. I've upgraded the GPU to a GTX 970 SC with the ACX 2.0 cooler and was even able to get 85 more mhz.

 

I want to find a case that will:

-be around as big as an x51

-be nice looking

-have decent ventilation for the 970 (though if the x51 can handle it without throttling this is more of sidenote)

 

Suggestions? I don't like being locked to Alienware.

A bit too fat for my tastes, but it's still an option.

Node 804 is pretty sexy imo, but it's all opinions I guess

If you look near the bottom of the Lian-Li web page for the mATX version of the case you will see that it can take gpu up to 290 mm long.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
