Personally I am going to get a Lian PC-70 Aluminum Case, and modded with windows lights and watercooling. It has 6x5.25 bays external, 3x.5 bays external, and i think up to 6x3.5 bays internal.

the lian li pc70 would be the optimal case i'd think, it's spendy though. ifyou're looking for a low cost option, then the antec sx 1030 would be what you want, it's the full tower version, it has plenty of room. very moddable as well. I personally use a lian li pc61USB, and it's a little tight, but it works excellently. an aluminum case tends to run a little bit cooler just because of it's properties.

in water cooling think big. Any large case will suit your needs fine, the Antec full towers, the Inwin full tower, Supermicro/Addtronics Full Tower, are all great as they have tons of room. On the midtower scale an aluminum midtower seems to be a bit bigger and Fong Kai makes a super roomy mid.

The super case is the ultimate in inexpensive cases. $39 plus shipping, and if you screw it up, you're only out like, 50 bux. http://www.servercase.com/ImageFiles/SC01F.html

I have one, and can't understand why people spend more than $40 on a case :D:rolleyes:
