Well, you could get the V1000 with a window for about 250 (V1000 normally costs about 200, and another 50 for the window). The V1000 is a lot smaller than the V2000, but certainly not cramped. You'll have to keep in mind though, that since the V1000, 1200 and 2000's have the motherboard upside down in the case, the window will be on the right side of the case, not the left.
I own a V1000B with a window and I love mine.
