Which PC case?

I'm stuck. I ordered a new computer and influenced by looks, ended up with a case that's about twice the size of the motherboard inside!

Not a problem at present as it sits under my desk - just. However, I'm organising a revamp of my office with a fitted furniture supplier, who have told me that the beast won't fit into a standard cupboard. So, what I'd like to do is simply swap the case for a size that's more suitable.

This is where you experts come in. The mother board is an ASUS P5QL and apart from a biggish graphics card, there's nothing outrageous about the other components. I need (I think) an ATX box to put the innards into, but which one?

Your suggestions would be most welcome - and also your advice on whether swapping everything across is a job I could manage myself. I have fitted sound & graphics cards in the past.
