I am going to build a pc soon and I want a nice case to put my parts in. I will be putting this on my desk so I want something that will look nice.

 

I do not want something with crazy design on the front of the case.  

 

Requirements: Power Supply shroud, removable drive bays, 240mm or 280mm radiator support, and big window side panel.

 

Optional: Tempered glass, cube case,

 

My budget is around $120, but this can go slightly higher if it is worth it. 

 

Thank you for those that respond!

Full Atx motherboard and I don't mind size that much. Just something that is midtower or above. 

I belive the NZXT S340 Elite would be something for you, you could also check out the S340 which is a more "standard" version the the Elite (if it wasnt obv :P )

Check out the Phanteks P400 Tempered Glass edition. Absolutely stunning case, I totally recommend it. I've got it myself and if you have any questions I'd be happy to answer.

As others have said the S340. But don't forget the Phanteks P400 series. I have the acrylic window and the tempered glass versions. Love them both. Here's pics of my P400S acrylic window and my wife's P400 tempered glass.

Phanteks P400 is very nice. There are options with soundproofing and a tempered glass window. The best version is the p400s tempered glass edition which is only 90 dollars, 10 extra for tempered glass, and 10 extra for sound foam. You can fit a 240 or a 280 in there. Since your budget is 120 I would get either of the tempered glass version so the windows don't scratch up. You can also do the s340 elite which also has a tempered glass window or the s340 which comes without it and -2 usb 2.0 ports and -1 hdmi port on the front. You can also get a case from cooler master.
