If you looking for something with loads of room and plenty of spots for fans, and comes in colors besides silver and beige, check out
Chieftech Dragon. I have the green version of the same case. If you looking for something a bit more subdued in color, it is also available in black.

Well, doors make it alot easier to get into the case when you need to, but if youre worried about other people opening it, you can always lock the door...

But doors break off if your not carefull. I am sure if a person really wanted to get into your comuter the break the door. But that take away looks from the case.

since u want a plain silver case with window, i would say the lian-li pc-65
Lian-Li PC-65 or the lian-li pc-75 (thats full tower)
Lian-Li PC-75 I have the Lian-Li PC-65 and i absolutely love it. I got mine for $50 from a friend

I would recomend the CoolerMaster
Centurion 
(though you'd need to 'window' it yourself

) Aluminium front bezel... plenty of room, rounded edges

and handy removable case panels!

Oh yeah and you can get these aluminium/black bezels for your beige optical drives!

ok WHO DOESN'T have a cheif dragon.
Iam getting a lian li for my next case, got for the dragon is you really want it.. i have to admit it was the cheapest aluminum case at the time. now the price has shot up.
the only bad complaint i have about the dragon is that the places where you put case fans in, only allow 80x25mm fans. so it forces you to use 2 type of fan. I would rather have a screw in case fan option. That way i can attach some Water cooling radiators to the case fans. But sense iam doing water cooling on my next rid. that rules Cheiftech dragon out of the question.
basicaly anything aluminum, and has screw in your self case fans would be pefect. INcase you desided to go water cooling aftwards.
I personally don't like window fans as much as i used too... probly because for now on iam going to use ribon cables, instead of rounded. sense ribon puts out the best performance from dispercing heat and ATA certified data transfer.
But after a while it will get dusy inside your case, and if your lazy like me. your not going to watn to open it out and clean it. Also the bright lights bother my roommate. It didn't bother me at my house. But at college, we have to keep a chair infront of my case, because it was just too bright.
So open windows is not really the thing for college... but atleast everyone that walks by my room, love my computer.
