I take it you're looking for a matched case then...
You're going to have a job, thanks to that shiny panel on the front, but never mind. If that's what you're looking for, go for the balc - black drives are much easier to come across than silver ones. If you want silver drives you'll have to do it yourself, or stealth them (and seeing as the cases don't seem to come with a blank bezel for the first CD drive, this will be damned tricky).
Of course, if you go the Lian Li route, they will sell you brushed aluminium bezels to stick to the front of your drive. You can get them matched to whichever case you have, and they come fitted for different ranges of CD/DVD drives.
Never been too keen on top windows meself...
a) they make fitting a blowhole a bitch
b) they don't really show anything very pretty unless you put a window in your hard drive or CD drive
c) they make fitting a cold cathode up there totally pointless
It has to be said, after owning one and having fiddled with many more (including Lian Li knockoffs like the ones here) that I think they do make the best cases for the price (the CoolerMaster ones are the dogs bollocks, but very expensive) and IMO you should go with them. You're going to be using your case for longer than the lifetime of your computer, right?
