The nzxt s340 is a decent case with your choices for accents, it should accommodate all your needs even though the front panel isn't the best ventilated, but for being around $80 its great! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146190&cm_re=s340-_-11-146-198-_-Product

I'd keep it clean with just black and red. It will look killer!

If you really want to try water cooling on a midtower, than the fractal design define s would be a perfect candidate for you to try out. I know the case supports dual 360 rads, but definitely not in push pull. If you want a much bigger case that can easily fit as many rads as you could desire, look into the Phanteks Enthoo primo or corsair 900d. They are a bit expensive, but for water cooling they have alot of options!

You want to have the rear fan exhaust. And for decent airflow and neutral air pressure you want to have equal intake and exhaust. If you go for positive airflow you have less chance of dust getting into your rig. And remember, hot air rises!

If your just changing fans, EK vardar are also excellent choices if you go with the low rpm variants. Pairing one (or two depending on workable space) on a corsair h60 would be an excellent upgrade form a 212 and would be under $100.

I think the caselabs sma8 would be a great case for you! you could easily fit both 480 rads in it. If you dont know of him already, look up Jayztwocentz on youtube! He does a lot of quality watercooling videos and went through a similar transition of switching from a corsair 900d to a caselabs for his pc: skunkworks.

Evga supernova is perfect for it. Just turn on eco mode and its perfectly silent.

If you had the wiggle room to be an inch or two taller I'd say the Phanteks enthoo primo would be the perfect case, but it comes in at a higher price at 250 and isn't optimized for silence. Any case you get is going to be fairly massive to house all those rads. If you could go with just two 360s than the define s would be a good choice.

Fractal Define r5- The front intake has a very nice and easily removable dust filter as well as one that covers the entire length of the bottom of the case. The bottom dust filter removes from the front for easy cleaning. There is a non windowed version which has the added bonus of being covered with sound proofing foam and being well under budget. The Enthoo pro is an AWESOME case, but may seem a little empty without a custom loop in it, but if you want to build in it you could just buy some silverstone magnetic dust filters for it and still come in under $300.

750 is totally fine, i would recommend the Evga supernova g2 Gold+ 750w.

It would work fine, not ideal, but fine.

Its a decent case, but definitely lower end. I helped my friend with his first build in this case and while it is a good deal at around 50 bucks, its quality is lacking. For example, it does include grommets for the cable routing cut outs, very limited cable management in the back, and a somewhat flimsy construction. On the bright side it has a very nice window, doesn't take up much space, cheap, and the 5.25 drive bay you wanted!

And linus always speaks the truth!

Thats just normal build up of static from being shipped. no biggy

well its hard to call a case itself "reliable". That term is meant for the company that makes the case. I personally have never heard of the manufacturer and the website itself seems a bit shady... with cases you kinda get what you pay for in terms of features and quality. So im sure a 15 dollar case is going to be lacking alot of key or "luxury" features. Here are a few decent cases in your price range from newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139038&ignorebbr=1 (49.99, corsair) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811853004&ignorebbr=1 (40.99, deepcool) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146075&ignorebbr=1 (29.99, nzxt)
