Default new case

ok my budget is around 150 and I am looking for a full tower case that is watercooling friendly (pre-drilled tubing holes) so far I am looking at the gigabyte 3d aurora 570 but I wish I could find one with the PSU mount in the bottom like the antec p182 ...bottom line i am looking for a behemoth case that is watercooling friendly and if possible has a bottom PSU design and a removable mobo tray... any suggestions?

The Thermaltake Armor might be the best choice. Has popout holes right above the rear 120mm fan to route tubes through:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1183160363476 Full tower, door like the p180 or p182, bottom mounted psu and more then enough space for internal water cooling.

you might not find a case with that on it's own very easily.
probably the best thing is to grab a little electric key-lock and fasten it in-between one of the sets of wires leading to the on switch. i'll post up a pic of what i'm talking about later, i've gotta figure out where i've put it.

here's kind of along the lines of what i'm talking about, but the one i have has contact point for loose wiring

I have a rocketfish I just got in the mail from Indignity today under the desk here... and let me say, I've never seen a bigger case. This sucker makes my dad's Armor look like a mid-tower.
