Hmmm, my idea of a "water-cooling oriented" case would have a ~18cm high cavity at the bottom of the case with a 8 x 12cm fan mounts around it.
It would have a fan mount at the front and back, and 3 down each side, with the side ones being spaced appropriately to take either the BIX2's or the ThermoChill 120.2/.3 radiators, so people could add as many radiators as they wanted. There'd be a series of screw-attachable cover-plates to seal up any unused fan mounts. The cavity would be seal away from the main case body, except for two 3/4" diameter holes (with rubber grommets protecting the sharp edges) leading into the case for tubing, and a series of molex connectors for fan/pump powering.
That would allow for a mid-tower sized case (effectively a mini-tower on top of the WC enclosure section). The case would be 9" (23cm) wide to allow for tubing to bend easily around video cards and the like.
