Most will tell you there really isn't that much difference in any of them...statistically most liquid cooling blocks are similar. So, IMO, it really comes down to looks.
You're in the normal hi-end range now. What's the ambient temp in the room as well? For instance...the ambient (winter) temp in my PC room runs about 18-19C (sweaters/hoodies on all the time). I have a H50 in a CoolerMaster ATCS 840 and my core idle temps (i7 OC to 3.68) are 26-31C.

Weird that you can get it at amazon for less w/zero shipping...maybe first day sticker issue not knowing others have it cheaper by a wide margin.
It was nice to hear him acknowledge "trashcan" and it was funny to see him have trouble getting the magnetic bottom filter back on straight. The engineering looks solid...will fit nicely up on a desk...betcha you could get a MNPCTECH mesh screen to replace the plastic side vent easy enough...
For me it comes down to this case, the V354, or the Classic Lan Box from Da Box. Probably more challenging to get the other two going (in terms of cable managment and/or airflow)...but my love of the Lian-Li B05 box almost compells me to try this one. My build will be X58 core i7, twin 460 GTX...
According to the Lian Li site you can mount the smaller HD bay on top:

That said...might be a stretch to get the cooling tubes to go all the way to the fan/radiator mount.
Is it possible to run an H50 from the CPU to the front fan? Concern is length of tubes 1st, creative HD cage work required second. I have a 2xSLI X58 setup in a massive CoolerMaster 840. Going to purchase a micro X58 board and gut the 840 into a box like this so I can haul the machine to Lan...
