Midtower for Water Cooling

I've decided to venture into the water cooling world.

My plan is to start out with the Swifttech H220 (when it finally gets back in stock...) and follow up with a 2nd radiator and a waterblock for my 7950.

As of now, my HAF912 is too small (and my friend will buy it from me). I'm looking to get another case to fit water cooling, but I don't really want a full tower.

I'm leaning towards the Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 or R4 since people seemed to find them to be great cases for water cooling. I'm trying to spend less than 80 dollars. Any other suggestions?

There's also the Lian Li PC7-HX which is on sale right now for 50 dollars after rebate. I'm thinking I could mount the 240mm radiator up top and add a second 120mm or 240 in either the back or front. Also saw a TON of really cool case mods for this.

I'm really a newb when it comes to cases so any other suggestions are welcome. The larger Cooler Masters are out of my price range. Same with NZXT and Corsair (with the exception of the Corsair 500R which is 80 after rebate).

Thanks!
 
I would recommend the CoolerMaster 690 II. It has room for a 240 radiator on the bottom and a 240 or 280 radiator on the top.
 
Forgot about that case! I was actually really considering that one as well.

Found one on eBay for pretty cheap. Might just pick that up. JK, older version :/

Thanks
