Do you just want an appliance?    Or would you prefer to build your 
system to suit you?

I don't know of cases that have control buttons.  There are "home 
theatre" styled ones, but they don't have buttons as such.  Have you 
thought about a wireless keyboard and/or a remote control?

There are absolutely no cases that have integrated amps.  You will need 
a separate amp.
