oh wow. I just saw the
Chieftec Matrix full tower. I was weak at the knees. The price is freaking awesome for such a huge case that's so pretty to boot. I think I could pretty easily mod a 120mm fan into the uppermost area of the back panel (reorient the PSU and extend that cut up a little further to accomodate a larger adapter plate). Is the cube radiator (or a similar product) anywhere close to being as efficient as a typical heatercore? I'm not looking to get tremendous hotrod performace out of this setup, but I want to at least be doing well.

If anyone knows a case with the same hight/options/space, that has more width (22 to 25 cm) PLEASE let me know!

Here's an interesting looking ~230mm (9") wide full tower.
Enermax CSF7200BRP ATX file server It has the PSUs mounted on the bottom of the tower with the mobo tray above. It also appears to have front USB ports, but the picture is pretty grainy. I guess the obvious downside would be the price: $400
