Unlimited Budget

I'd say that Thermochill rads are the best all around radiators out there. Out of stock most places though. I know, I've looked! GTX rads are the best if you're willing to turn the fans up to ELEVEN. And the XSPC rads are the best if you want low rpm, quiet fan system on your rads.
 
Price does not matter? Buy a Mountain Mods EXTENDED Ascension then. I have 4 triple 120 rads in mine, and still have enough place for 3 or 4 more triple rads in there. :) I run 3 independant loops in mine. 3 pumps, 3 res, 4 triple rads, and Tri-Crossfire (5970+5870).

No more fighting with a case to change something, or put a new triple rad or loop in there when I need to. Look at my 5970, it looks so small in there! :) If you want your system to grow down the road, and add new rads, pumps and res, the 800D will be limiting you badly.

+1 for a Mountain Mods case. They create cases with custom cutouts for your radiators. The UFO is the biggest one but its too huge imo. Depends on how much room you have to stow it. I'd go with a narrower case, but you can still fit in 3-4 rads easy in a mountain mods case.

I'd say a Pinnacle 24 has the best mix of roominess without taking up a monolithic amount of space.

Here's a pinnacle 24 with a laser etched window.

Don't worry, $279 is only the starting price. By the time you add up all the extras plus the laser etching on your panels, the price will go upwards of $500. Plenty of money to sink into a mountain mods case if price is no object.

Ascension is good if you want a LOT of rads and you don't mind having a 20" wide case.
