    Nice list.  I'd say that Case Labs or Mountain Mods are some of the best choices for water cooling.  Danger Den is another great option.  Mainstream cases can't do as much, Silverstone has the lead there followed by the CM Cosmos II most likely.  You did overlook some things though - the ATCS 840 can hold a 240mm rad on the HDD cages as well, and you forgot to check out the Lian-Li PC-V2120.  It can hold a 360 rad on top and 280 in the front.

    whether it matters or not, your list for NZXT should DEFINITELY have the switch 810 on it if you want to watercool

    I purchased the STH10 and put it together yesterday.  Spent half the day dolling it up.  It is by far, THE BEST case I've ever seen.   Spend the money and if you don't have it, save up and then spend the money.  there is so much room in the case.  So many customizable situations. It is VERY well built and the fit and finish are pristine.   I came close, very close to purchasing the Little devil, but the company wanted an extra hundred dollars for a full size window.  I think I spent 20 dollars on the Caselabs for the full size window.   What was also a deal killer for me is that the little devil requires you to put screws in to the side to secure it and then you have to remove them to get into the case.   The case labs has a hinged door.  All the panels come off of it and they snap back in place.  There's enought for two 480 rad in the bottom with 25 mm fans and still have 4 inches to spare between the two of adequate airflow.   You then can put anothe 360 rad in the top with a power supply or two power supplies if you need that.  I can't say enought about the case labs cases.   They are phenomically well built. 
     
    It may be the last Case I will purchase.  I've owned Lian Li including the V2000 and the STH10 puts it to shame.

    I completly agree Case Labs is a great company and Jim is an awesome guy he suggested me that I should get the TH10 instead of getting the TX10 knowing that I would  be spending less. I have the first TH10 case and is an awesome case probably will be my last unless I get another Case Labs Case lol :)

    I am sure with some modding you could add another rad if you want to
