I don't like the blue LEDs... it makes it seem cheesy, at least I think. I want something sleek, black, and professional looking.

Well, I don't like the idea when I'm sleeping there are blue lights coming from my desk.

How about:

Newegg.com - Antec P182 Gun Metal Black 0.8mm cold rolled steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail
