pretty much explained in the title. whats the best case for a supurb blow out overkill tower, i want to have 4x120 worth of rad space, and will be cooling a phenom2x6, 2 5870 (6870 depending on when the $$ comes through) and the chipset on the mobo. so i need a big tower, what do you guys think would work. i like the tj07, but i just wonder if there are better/more unusual(everyone sticks a 4x120 in a tj07) just to add some extra cool factor to this mod.

sadly, as this is not for me, the client does not want a hand built case...
Well, really, it depends on what size/look/etc they're looking for. Heck, I have 4x120+3x140 of rad space 'in' (ie, partially in, partially on) a CM590 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119152&Tpk=cooler%20master%20590). I'm assuming that the client wants it entirely contained in the case though. In that case (no pun intended), a HAF X (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119225) could definitely work (would have to split between 2 or 3 rads though), or really any case with at least 9 front 5.25" bays can take a 3x120 vertically in those bays as long as you don't want to have any drives in those bays. A Raven RV01 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811163135) would work, a Raven RV02 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811163154) could probably even work if you squeeze it a bit. A PC-A70 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112243) or PC-B71 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112225) would work, or an ABS TIGAS (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811215015). A Corsair 700D (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139002) or 800D (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139001) would work, as would a CM Cosmos (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119214). A HAF 932 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119230) or Antec 1200 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129043) would do well.
Or you could always do a Level 10 with a couple 4x120 rads on the back. :P

MountainMods makes a no frills, basic case that can do 2x4x120s and 1x3x120 easily.
Oh yeah, and DangerDen makes one too.

that's all the rad your going to have? i thought it was overkill? :)
if you get 2x dual's or a triple and single 120mm rad then most cases will work.
otherwise as mentioned mountain mods are for water.

If money is no issue, and you can find one (maybe you can hire... actually nm lol) take a look at Lian-li's modular 343-B case - I have one and while I don't know for sure about watercooling space, it's more than twice the size of most cases - it is, frankly, bloody HUGE lol, and makes an awesome modding base because it is all plain panels so you can do whatever you want to it...
