Hey guys I'm looking for a very large tower, preferably extended ATX, with top mount blowhole fans (preferably designed next to eachother so I can slap a radiator there. Bottom PSU is a plus.

If one of these exists I've yet to find one. 8)

Well I decided to bite the bullet and just cut some blowholes in my Chenming Full tower. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010090007+50001651&name=CHENMING)

We'll see how it goes. :)

Cut the holes, don't look too shabby but filing's going to be a PITA because the case material is so freakin thick. Drilled some pilot holes and used a hacksaw with the metal blade. 2 square openings now to fit this radiator: http://www.xoxide.com/thermaltake-aqua-tmg2-radiator.html

(Actually it's an older version of that radiator, the inlet/outlet are just copper tubes not painted black)

do you already have that rad? or have you paid for it yet?

if you can cancel it or haven't bought it yet then change it for this (http://www.xoxide.com/swiftech-dual-quiet-radiator.html), its cheaper and is the second best rad series on the market right now. (thermochill being the best) pair it up with a set of these (http://www.xoxide.com/yate-loon-highspeed-120.html) yate loon fans and you will be rockin!

take 2 small or med cases and fix them together... :)

(not a bad idea at all, Note to myself : remember that one...)

I actually already have it from an old Thermaltake water system. Anyone have any recommendations for window striping? To cover up the edge? Looking for something that has a decent size so I can hide the mildly off-center cuts.

IMHO most window stripping on case windows tends to look tacky. Just take the time to take a file to it and it should look killer when you are done. Just remember its gonna take some time and concentration.

Well it isn't a window, it's a fan blow-hole. I think it'll look rather sharp TBH.
