Which case for GPUs?

I've only ever bought Antec cases and I love my P182 as much as I loved P180 and P160's in the past. I'm ready to get rid of my P182 for a few reasons.

  1. I hate bottom-mount PSU. Unplugging the 8-pin CPU power cable every time you want to touch anything is a HUGE pain
  2. With two dual-slot graphics cards the second one is up agaist the wall and has no room to intake air.
  3. There's no side-mounted cooling for GPUs
I tried an Antec 900 but my motherboard with an Ultra 120 Extreme didn't fit well in there and I don't like the idea of my HD's dumping heat straight on to my GPUs (love the seperate HDD zone in the P18x).

So I was trying to decide what case to get and I was looking at the Thermaltake Armor, but it looks like the huge 250mm side intake fan is way to high up to blow cold air directly onto the GPUs where I want it, so my other option is a Coolermaster 830.

Give me some advice. Thanks!
 
I like the layout of my case, mobo and cards on one side and drives PSU on the other (but the PSU is on the bottom)
