PA160 Cases Out There?

I am planning to assemble a computer over the holidays. I'd like to buy a case that will accommodate a Thermochill PA160 radiator internally with few if any modifications. There are many successful installations of the PA160 in the Antec P180 case but I'd like to know if other cases will work just as well. If anyone has installed the PA160 in another case with no cutting, please let me know what case you selected and what your experience was like. Thanks!!!
 
I've seen a PA160 in the forward fan mount of a V2100, if the tank-like Lian Li case interests you

Thanks, n00btard!
I'm checking out the V2100 on the Lian Li website. Behind the forward fan mount is a HDD rack that looks easy to remove to make room for the PA160. You are right about the "tank-like" appearance of this case. I see that a similar case, the Lian Li PC-201, has the same forward fan mount with a more appealing exterior. This one may make my short list. :)
 
Antec P180.

That is mine, there are number of others on here and XtremeSystems.org that have done a similar method. You remove the 3.5" bay and the bottom 5" and you have a straight bolt in to the existing fan mount with millimeters to spare, a perfect fit.

Do a search for PA160 in P180, or something like that I believe there was a thread started on it in either Cases or Watercooling section.
