CM has the new HAF 932 being released around the world as we speak. It's coming to US in next couple days. It's able to fit up to a 320 in top right out of the box. Price is right too at $160US. What is your WC setup?

+1 for Lian Li PG-G70B.
I am not that temperature greedy, so I only have the PSU and PA 120.2 in the top and a PA120.1 in the front along with the intake fan. This leaves room for pumps and nice tube routing.
All of that and then some would fit in a HAF 932, right out of the box, and would only be $160US. The side 230mm fan can be replaced with 4 120s if you wanted. The looks of it are what most seem to have different opinions about but I don't think it's too bad. Kinda mechanical looking but it looks like a lot of thought about air/watercooling and cable management went into the design. The cut out in the MB tray that allows you to swap CPU HS or waterblocks withouth taking the MB out is a VERY NICE touch.

as far as the HAF is concerned - place for 120.3 i believe uptop, but the side is what interests me. space for 120 x4 - probably space for a rad? but if so, the case will need to be deep enough to accomodate rad + cards, which it probably isnt.
I like it... but, again, the bottom PCI-e slot is up tight to the PSU below it.
Grrr...
It doesn't look like that PSU could moved to the top (where the little panel with 2 WC tube holes resides).
I don't get it.
All this space, and every manufacturer insists on crowding the mobo.
Also, if I did something like the HAF you mentioned, I reckon I would lay it horizontally. Those full cover water GTX waterblocks are heavy!
You are feeling the exact same thing as me, which is why I built my own case. It was a lot of work though, but the end result is something that I am very pleased with, and it fits exactly to my specs.
The only cases I've seen that I would even consider are some of the Lian Li cases and the Mountain Mods cases, but in my case, I am limited in size to what will fit inside of my desk. The agreement me and my wife have is that whatever I come up with, it has to look nice and fit inside of the desk.
There's also the Lian Li PC-V2010 which I'm thinking of getting:

That one should in theory fit a 480 rad in the bottom, and regarding the GPU look if you drilled a whole in the midplate you could have your tubing coming out of the second GPU just go straight down into the second compartment.
