Case is all about personal tastes and function, balance out the two.
raandomer:
Unless your looking for special features (ones that can burn console discs, etc) for optical drive just go with anything, they're all fairly reliable.
case, get something with decent ventilation/air flow cause the 6970 can get quite hot and if you got the varient that dumps hot air back in the case then its even more important.

Good choice. If you're going with 1TB, pretty much any brand is fine, and you'll hear equal amounts of pros and cons from most brands, even Seagate (since it's not over 1TB). Any higher and you should avoid Seagate.
Samsung and Hitachi are both pretty damn solid. Currently have four 1.5TB Samsung disks that have been running almost constantly for the past almost two years. Going to build a new server soon with some of Hitachi's 3TB disks.
