Thats massive, and it looks exactly like what i'm after my w/c setup 
Got the W/C in and have modded some elements of the case. Below is the case with just a PSU added (needed to test some measurments)

Below is the case at the mo, understand that its just been bunged in so is very untidy.

Ive added a 120mm hole in the top and 2 x 120mm fans to the front, ive also removed the HDD from the upper portion of the case and placed them in front of the lower 120mm fan, i will mod this slightly in the future as there is a tiny amount of vibration.
Idle temps are only 1 degree cooler (might reseat CPU Block) but the load temps only rise slightly, went from 34C to 37 during COD2 and only up to 39 during Prime.

Thats looking good. I was just tinkering with my case, and it looks as if my end layout will be very similar
In mine the hdd and pump will be in the same spot. There will be a 120.3 rad going across the top, gotta figure out a mounting method. I've taken out the floppy drive and stuffed a dual bay res in there. There is room for a second psu mounted above the first, so I will be doing that.
Keep us updated as i'm very interested to see what you are upto with the case

Well ive made a couple of further enhancments to the case, ive WCed the 7800gtx and moved the pump, ive also added a 120mm fan in the upper drive bays that blows over the pump and res.
Still havnt got round to sealing off the upper and lower areas with perspex or cutting a window but i may do it this weekend (before football), i'm also gonna move the HDD bays and suspend it with bungees.
Dont comment on the wire as they will be the last thing i'l tidy.
