Using a second tower for ludicrous cooling ability?

My roommate picked up the remains of a XPS700 left in the trash yesterday and isn't too bad of condition. It's completely useless as a computer tower has it's heavy, BTX, and poorly ventilated. Plus, I just got a HAF X three days ago. I do love the exterior design of the XPS700 though.

Originally going discreet water cooling by stuffing the HAF X with everything inside but even this monster of a case has limited space inside. So why not place radiators, reservoir, and pump inside the XPS700 case?

My future build thus far:

Sandy Bridge 4-core (maybe 2600K)
16GB DDR3 1600
SLI two mid-range GPU's (final decision on model this Feb.)
SSD boot drive
RAID 1 2TB HHD
Enermax 1000w (semi) modular
HAF X
ASUS 27" 2ms monitor (may go for two more but one already take up 3/4th of my desk)

The only problem would be getting the right water pump since the amount of coolant and distance is excessive. Opinions?

you might as well just go for a double wide case like the mountain mods U2UFO or Ascension instead. They're more expensive up front, but tieing together 2 separate towers is epic kludge.
 
Good lord, those are ugly cases. I'll take kludge over ugly. Besides I've already budgeted my next build and I can't afford to buy another case. This is my first watercooling build and my first computer build in 4 years. Either way thanks for the suggestion I didn't know cases like those were being built.
 
I was thinking about doing this with a pair of NZXT Gamma cases with a pair of M59 side windows :drool:
 
Sounds janky to me. Get one case that fits all your ish. Sell the haf and get a 800D or Lian monster tower imo.
