Maxwell, it's funny you mentioned the Lian Li line of cases as they along with Silverstone make some crazy nice premium boxes. It will boil down to the 3 but I need at least 240mm clear on the top for my H100 rad. I'm also considering a large mid tower but really my current case a Thermaltake Element V black edition is wicked and only lacks the wire management so I figure time is on my side so I watch for all the deals and when I can get a discount and free ship and no tax then I'll pull the trigger.
Well, I don't want to step on anyone dreams now, But I searched for months to find that perfect chassis for my specific needs. And I came up with this. If you want a great airflow chassis with the extra option for water cooling(it can fit up to 3 {2 x360 and 1 240} radiators normally, and with easy modding 5!) you should have a look at the Silverstone TJ7. It's an oldish chassis, but one of many peoples favorites.

This one is also a great mid tower chassis. Its bigger then most mid towers and maybe as big as some full ones, but it has allot of space and comes in black/silver. Then for a different view go for the raven2, it has a 180motherboard holding, and I know from personal experience, having this is AWESOME for so many reasons! This however is a normal chassis when it comes to watercooling, but great for air. The lian lee, chassis are super nice, but most are discontinued, and yeah I know getting parts for them is still easy, but I had a thermaltake kandalf, that was discontinued two years after I bought it, and finding parts were impossable and very expensive. Secondly these lians are great for large systems, they have allot of space, and good modding potential! But a the scarsity(In Z.A) put me off of them, this is my own opinion.
If I were you, i'd stay away from thermaltake, I have nothing against there chassis, they are cool, and some look awesome, but there service,parts,helpline are terrible,expensive and lacking.
IMHO.!!
I love those 800d's, they look awesome, and I very nearly bought one, but it didn't have the specific qualities I needed, if by now your p@#$ED and think I have no idea what I am talking about, sorry then, this was only an opinion. And I love my Silverstone TJ11, but this chassis is a FULL tower, and made for watercooling,not air.
So if I can give any guide,i'd say look at the 800D,Silverstone Tj7 and the raven2. If you don't like the looks of them, have a look at Lian lee, and THEN when all options are done, look at thermaltake. And yes, the TJ7 is a favorout of mine, but do yourself a favour, type tj7 mods into google, and see what people think and can do with it. The ONLY reason why I took the TJ11 over the TJ7 is because it was bigger(more room) and better for watercoolong WITHOUT doing mods to it.
AGAIN this is all IMHO
yeah. I found the cheapest three monitor stand on eBay, about $180 AUD. Whatever works man
