Any case suggestions?

Hello again, nice people on this forum! I'm here to make more questions everyone finds hard to answer :) I'll keep it short: I'm looking for a case with the following characteristics: black, brushed aluminum like finish, windowed, micro atx, ample filtered front intake and direct airflow path towards the back (I kind of like the define mini C, but I also think it looks kind of cheap). Also: do you know any forums with nice computer design pictures? I'm looking to get inspired ;) Hope you can help me and thanks in advance for your attention :D

Yeah but you can get one  of these guys, I'm sure if you asked they would make a black version.

The Define Mini C seems like the best choice for you. I haven't seen one of those in reality but I own a Define S. The build quality of this case is good and it doesn't feel or look like a cheap case in my opinion. Yeah the front is made out of plastic I think but it still looks good I would say.

The front isn't the problem it's the top.

I'm now thinking about getting the "phanteks switch" when it comes out. It looks really good.
