Question New case for 120.2 radiator

So I am getting a new setup in early '07. I want to get a case that can either hold the watercooling all inside or neatly mount the radiator on the back of the case. I have been looking into a number of cases, and the top of my list comes the Antec P180. But it seems a little, how you say, "tight" to cram all that in there (though I would probably do something like this: http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=4269). But if I didn't wanna have to CRAM everything in, I would probably get an Armor. But its SOOOO BIG, its definite on the other end of the spectrum. Now, I would also like to get a lian-li because of the build quality, but they seem to fall in the middle between Antec and TT's design, without anythign that REALLY trips my trigger (and thereby makes me not care about spending the extra money). So does anyone else have any suggestions on possible cases that are well built to house a dual 120mm setup?

I swear someone on Overclock.net built that exact same thing from the P180. It is an awesome case and should suit you well.

Yeah, SoaDMguy or whatever his name is (cant remember at this exact moment) made one, looks pretty good so far. I am really leaning towards going with that case and just strapping the radiator on the back...

I think the case will be fine, the internals are a lot differnt then your normal case with the PSU at the bottom along with the HDD's. Just make sure to have enough tubing.
