Maybe we need some sort of new term for efficient-for-noise...(?) Maybe there is one I don't know about?
Then there's efficient-for-available-space . There are lots of mid-tower cases that have room for something this size in the lower front. If you want to install the BIP II or BIX II there, there's, hmmm... the Genie. Any others?

As a "you probably thought about this already" kind of suggestion, maybe, once this is a shipping product, it might make sense to also provide a stick-on template with screw holes and rectangular opening already cut out. That'd let semi-new'bs figure out where to mount the rad, and, after drilling just one or two holes, be able to test-mount the rad/shroud/fan inside the case - and if they'd figured wrong, they'd just have a screw hole or two in the wrong place(es) rather than a big rectangular hole. Shouldn't add to cost of goods much.
