I got my case from Servercase.com, and was very happy with their service. They were very much the best price for the case I got, so I assume they are probably competitive on other cases.
The case I got was an AMD CK1100B server cube, not a full tower (though they have those) and I think it's just about as ideal as you can get for a WC setup in a server grade machine. It is expensive though, about $190 w/o PSU delivered from CA to MA.
I posted a review on this case here quite a while ago, I don't know if / when Joe will ever put it up.
Essentially it is like to midi-towers side by side, with the mobo, two 5.25" and one 3.5" external bays on one side, and the PSU, eight 5.25 external bays, and five 3.5" internal bays on the other. The mobo can be up to extended ATX size, and mounts on a removable tray.
There is a front bezel with three lockable doors over the external bays. The interchangeable sides have a row of vent holes top and bottom but are mostly plain, I think there would be all sorts of neat options for doing windows if desired. (I lined mine w/ roofers tape and carpet padding to reduce noise)
The back has a 120mm fan outlet on each side, a 120X25 mm fan is included for the drive side, positioned to pull air over the internal drive cage. A plate for mounting a standard size ATX PSU is included, you can get optional redundant power supplies as well in several configurations.
The build quality is excellent, it is heavy, solid and definitely industrial quality.
I have cut the front side of the PSU chamber to fit a FedCo 2-342 heater core rad, which is one of the best cooling rads there is, big, single pass, low restriction. I'm putting my pump and res in the PSU chamber, and have plenty of room.
I highly reccomend this case, I think it is far better than the YY Cube.
