No I'm not saying the show is awesome, it was in the first season but that aside.

Goal:
I'm going to be using an Antec 900 case. With it, I want it to be:
-Quiet (Fans run either Low or Medium)
-2.5TBs of storage
-Chilled CPU Cooling (Dual Radiator)
-9800GX2
-Wire managed

And above all, the number one rule:
-Must appear to be stock (Almost completely destroying the meaning of Modding)

By this, I want it all internal with no modded points on the case appearing outside. However the bottom of the case is free play because no one will see that place too easy.

When it's all done I'm gonna paint it another color besides black, and then probably sell it.

you are not going to get a Dual rad in there with more than 1 optical drive and 2 hard drives. (you could do a couple 1.5TB drives in RAID 0 or 5) with 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.

Here's a couple pics of my current setup:

with good cable management its very possible to do exactly what you're going for, as I've already done almost exactly that, and so have many other people

There are **** load of space above the CPU . Think out side of the cage man.

I'd say go for the 1200. You'll have a lot more room. My 900 is practically stuffed to the brim.

If you take out the top fan, and are willing to cut the top aluminum a bit, a dual radiator fits perfectly there. The plastic cover can still go there slightly unmodified, if you put 4 fans on the rad, you have to cut a little bit out, but it can be made to look nice. That's where I put mine, I had to cut some of the tray part on the top, but it still looks fine.

Other than that, you can put a pump under the HD cages, and easily get 2.5TB of space, if you get bigger drives. I have 3 500GB's and a 400GB, a DVDRW, and a bay reservoir, with the pump underneath them. If you got a different reservoir, that opens up more room there if you need it.

For wire management, you might want to drill some holes in the back, but you can't see them from the outside, especially once everything is put in.

So basically, it's doable, but I will admit, it's pretty tight, especially since video cards are so long these days. A bigger case will definitely make it much easier.

Oh, and my radiator fans run at medium, and the HD fan is on low, and temps are great.
