Default Cant find a big enough case.

I need some help with this one I have been searching for months trying to find a case that will fit this radiator mounted in the top. Koolance EHX-1320BK 4-Fan Radiator and Fans/Shroud - Black [No Fittings] - FrozenCPU.com

Problem being i have yet to find a case with enough length to fit that monster I have found 2 full tower case's that come close Lian Li V Silent Series PC-V2010B / Black / Full Tower Case On Sale!! - FrozenCPU.com <-(the one i really wanted), and Lian Li PC-B71B / Black / Full Tower Case w/ Hot Swap HDD Rack - FrozenCPU.com.

My problems lie in the fact that with that radiator on the top it will have about half a inch of space left on both the front and back of the case but there is usb panels on these case's that i would much rather leave on the case and i was really worried about structural support after i cut out that much metal do you guys think it will work or do any of you know of a decent case that will accommodate that monster.

It will fit in the Lian-Li PC-A70B (the case I'm using) and it's cheaper at NewEgg. Newegg.com - LIAN LI PC-A70B Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases or Lian Li Classic Series PC-A70B / Black / Full Tower Case - FrozenCPU.com

It also has a usb panel on the top but it's easy enough to move, you shouldn't let that be a factor.

Yea but the only thing im afraid of is if the top of the case will still be structurally sound because that radiator will take up almost 100% of the top panel. =/ I under stand the way it will bolt onto it it should be fine but i would just hate to wast X dollars and then ruin a case ya know lol.

When you bolt the radiator to the panel it will act as a support. It will probably be even stronger

Think E-ATX. Maybe Newegg.com - ARK EN-8950 Beige Pedestal Server Case 9 External 5.25" Drive Bays - Server Chassis -- 50 bucks.
