Watercooling Cases?

Well I want to prepare for my first watercooled rig, I have built computers before, but all were air-cooled. I basically want to get a new rig for Intel's Haswell CPU when it gets released this year.

I basically want a high performance rig, and plan on also water cooling my GPUs, yet to be determined what GPUs I will buy.

Also I am set on thick rediators, especialy after Linus showcased the two AlphaCool radiators.

I would like to get a triple or double rad 140 rad in the top in push pull, and a triple or double 140/120 in the front also in push pull.

Also required is that it has a side panel window, USB3, and 9 expansion slots(although 8 would probably be enough)

So what are your guy's suggestions? If you have any build logs and/or pictures please post them as it would be greatly appreciated.

Price range was originally intended to be anywhere from $200-300.

The Caselabs' cases look line but are a tad on the pricey side, It would require me to save up a little more for it. Any particular case you'd recommend windspeed?

​Any other suggestions?

Switch 810, I got a push/pull 280 rad in the bottom, although I had to cut out a part of the metal before it fit and a 420 in the top in pull mode. it is possible to fit a push pull in the top with some modding.

Harr, darr and a couple of....... plastic earings?
