Low profile, water cool friendly case recommendations

Hi.

I'd like to have a case that meet the following criteria:

1) Not a flashy design
2) Room for water cooling components (pump, radiator, tubes, waterblock) and the room for two air cooled video cards. I am not an extreme water cooler overclocker type, I just do it to avoid the noise of air cooling
3) 120mm intake and output fan size
4) Quiet

I'd like to be able to mount the radiator at the intake if possible, and I could buy a new radiator to do this. I would rather not have a radiator hanging outside my case, at least not the tubes. I would appreciate any suggestions you have. Right now, I am not concerned with the price tag. Thank you.
 
check out this post. I just did a case up with the coolermaster centurion 590. Here are my posts with pictures. No water cooling. But I know it would work great for it.
I'd mount the radiator right up in front somehow as its just one big grill.
Or even right inside up against the top. Where two 120mm fans are mounted.

I've been wondering if mounting a radiator on the top is a good idea? Is it? Does it create lots of noise compared to a radiator inside, or mounted on the back?

Thanks for the suggestions, please keep them coming. I looked at a gigabyte Aurora and they seemed okay.
