I would personally buy a cheap large case and a dremel :)
I would suggest you look at these cases if you can spare a few bucks more...

The Pinnacle 18 is pretty close to your budget but I am not sure it incl. all that is necessary for a complete case.
Have you looked at the CoolerMaster ATCS 840? Setup for watercooling right of the box with the Lian-Li'ish look. All aluminum, filters on all the intake fans, slide out MB tray, tooless everything, and is made to hold a 120.3 in the top.

You can also get a lian-li case with their new top panels for watercooling.

Lian-Li cases are pretty sweet for watercooling. They also look nice too!

For that price and if you have 15mm spaced rads then get a COSMOS S. The 840 is another case to consider too. Both can accommodate a 360 rad in the roof.

-1 to a Thermaltake setup, especially one with watercooling integrated beforehand. They're junk--100%.
+1 to a Cosmos S or similar and a nice setup from Petra's Tech Shop.

Cosmos S, Silverstone TJ-07 for an absolute classic, TJ-09 or -10 for a more modern case but one that requires use of multiple smaller rads rather than supporting two larger rads (although it fits an MCR320 at top), or most recently the Mountain Mods Pinnacle (if you like tower-style cases) or really any of their cubes.

I don't think you can get a TJ07 for that kind of money.
It's closer to $350.
But the murdermod (http://www.murdermod.com) TJ07 is IMO the best case you can buy pre-made.

but murdermod case is closer to $850+ :p: I seen a lot of people use the cosmos S, probably the best for the money without the need of any major modifications
