I am considering two other cases now, tell me what you guys think (this is for watercooling, I am going to cool my CPU and GPU).

Choice A:
THERMALTAKE Tsunami VA3400BWA Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Choice B:
Custom Lian-Li PC-75B Triple Fan Radiator Water Cooled Case (made by FrozenCPU)

I have not modded a case before, which is why I don't really want to put holes in the top of a Lian-Li PC-65B (the case I was going to get before).
 
Go for the PC-75b. You won't regret it, unless you LAN a lot and have to lug the thing around! :D
 
Ok well I just realized how big the case is. I'm deciding whether or not it's worth it.. because I have an Alienware right now, and it is already too big for my liking (and the Lian-Li is an inch taller and deeper).

Just out of curiousity then, how hard is it to put 2 120mm fans in the top of a Lian-Li PC-65? I have never used a dremel.. and I do not know how to line it up (with spacing between each fan as well) in order to fit a dual radiator..
 
I mean putting at the center of the top of the case, not the top of the front. or as that what you mean..
 
There isn't enough room between the power supply and the case to fit the radiator, so you only have from the back of the PSU to the front to work with. That means you will loose two 5 1/4" bays. Yes, I mean mounting the 2x120mm fans on the top of the case blowhole style. The PC-6x chassis really only works well with a single 120mm blowhole. Also, if you are going to do the modding yourself, use a holesaw and not a dremmel
 
Choice C :D

Lian-Li PC-75
BI Micro Dual 80mm x 2 or Aqua Computer Evo 160 x 2.
Put one dual 80 above the PSU and put the other dual 80 below the PSU.

This allows you to do minimal (with Aqua Computer) to no modding (with Black Ice). Two 160's will cool whatever you got just fine.
