The LianLi pc 71 is big enough to house 10 water cooling setups. I really don’t see the issue with size.

If I were you id piece together a good water-cooling kit. You can fit a heater core down in front where the HD mount is either under the drive mount or to the front where the fans and inputs are. You could also put a Heater core in the top under the power supply however this is a high point and will probably get air trapped in it unless you go through some difficult bleeding processes or have an air trap at a higher point in the system.
Or you can make a hole under the case to the left of the HD cage. And put the pump on top of the HD cage between the 3.5 drive cage and the right panel.

As for using two or three Micros, it’s a really expensive process and you would be better off just getting one good heater core or rad. I don't know the kit well enough to say whether the pump would be able to handle the needed lift (it’s a big case and the restricted flow with 3 BIM's)

If I were you and I wanted to water-cool I would do it right and piece together a good system so I knew that I would be happy with it rather than hoping its going to be better than my air-cooling setup that I’m moderately happy with.
