Whats the difference? I cannot really see any..., apart from the fact that the V1200 supports BTX.
 
Yeah, the V1200 is deeper. There is a couple of more inches in the powersupply compartment, which makes it easier to work with the cables there. Also, you can use oversized power supplies without having to remove one set of the drive bays.
 
So because It is deeper you would reccomend it for water cooling, if I am fitting dual 120mm radiators on the top ;)
 
The reason its deeper is because the 1200 is E-ATX compatible, meaning it can house a dual processor motherboard. But i'd definetly go 1200 for the extra room if your water cooling.
 
Those are sweet.

But I think I'd rather spend $100 on a PC60-Plus, than spending $200 on those nice... but expensive cases.

Yeah the V1000 is a jerk when it comes to fitting psu's. My powerstream sticks out like 1"-1.5", get the V1200.
 
Yeh those PC60 Pluses are sweet, I would consider getting that, but it would be a chore to fit a dual 120mm radiator in the top :)
 
The PC-60 is nice but if you can do without the removable mobo tray I'd go with the PC-7 Plus. It has both 120mm intake and 12mm exhaust and an 80mm blowhole. Coolerguys have it on for a good price. Link below. As for fitting a dual 120mm rad, you should have no problems in either cases mentioned above. You just have to sacrafice the top drive bay or only put something up top that will fit like an lcd display that takes up little space in the bay. If you decide to go with the v1200, hell you can fit a bw extreme III rad! :D

Yeh your right. I just took some measurements, and I can fit a BlackIceExtreme II or a Themochill 120.2 in with minimal work.
I am also considering keeping my Praetorian but I will have to modify the PSU cage (chop it into pieces :)) to fit it in with comfortable space.I am also considering just buying aluminium fans and mounting them an top to be the second half of a push/pull configuration. Would look sweet, and I can still fit a heat killer grill on it :)
