So I ended up buying 1 XSPC 120mm, 1 GTX 120mm, and 1 GTX 140mm radiator. Measurements were just fine in determining fit. Only problem is I forgot to take into account barbs, oh yey... Like it fits, but I would have to drill out the center fan holder in the lower chamber for my p180b.

So the two rads I'm looking at using currently would be a XSPC RX120 with 1450rpm fan and the GTX 140mm with a 7v Sanyo Denki 38mm fan.

I guess I'm just being lazy and don't want to cut out that middle piece. Already did a bunch of cutting to the case, put most of the stuff in there, and now stuck with this.
 
Here's a current pic of my setup. My plan was originally to get all three in there, so that when I upgrade in 3-4 years, it would be able to handle whatever I put in.

If you were me, would you remove the middle piece in the lower bay? sorry wires in the way.

Edit: Alright, i went ahead and drilled it out. Figured, what else am I going to do with the extra radiator :)
