The HAF 932 is a great choice, but if you want to save some cash, the CM 690 is awesome too, or even the CM 590, CoolerMaster is where it's at!

HAF932 is a good choice and if you can wait, HAF922 is a smaller version. check out Lian-li's PC-A77.

I'm in love .... ABS

That's an awesome case. Also just an FYI for everyone, it's a Lian-Li which ABS has rights to distribute in the US so you can expect high quality. Too bad the price tag is so high.
