Does this case exist?

I've been trying to find a nice case for the build I'm planning soon. I'm going to be watercooling, and was wanting 2 triple radiators, so this limits my choice of case quite a lot...
I quite like the look of the HAF X, however to get one of the radiators mounted on the front would use up most of the 5 1/4 bays, and would require modding to remove the HDD cage, and to make a hole in the bottom of the 5 1/4 bay cage to fit it in, and it would mean only 1 of the radiators will be cooled by cool air, the other will be warm because it's from inside the case.
I like the idea of a PC-P80, but it doesn't have a window (this would be overcomeable by modding, or buying a windowed panel (I'm sure they exist?), but the insides are silver, and I would want it black, I would probably put a radiator at the front, and a radiator at the bottom of the case.
I really like the idea of the TJ07, as the radiators can be on their own in the bottom of the case, however this case is quite old now, and a lot of people have used it, and I would rather something a little newer, and original, and again, the insides are silver.

So basically what I'm asking, is is there any case that exists, that satisfys my needs from what I've mentioned above?
 
the huge corsair case's? ill need some modding but can be done.

I didn't think about those...

The 800D looks like it might be quite good, space to mount a radiator on the roof of the case, and probably room at the bottom (with the base cut out, and replaced by a mesh) for another radiator, the only problem then would be if there was a way to exhaust enough air out of the base of the case, once it had been drawn in through the radiator.
 
After a little more looking around at reviews about it, it looks really good, although I don't think a radiator would fit at the bottom of the case, although I might decide to just go with a triple radiator at the top of the case, and a single on the rear, as that then wouldn't need any modding, so would make it a lot easier...
 
someone needs to make a nice looking case, that's fairly similar size to normal full tower cases, but then with an extra section on the bottom or top that isolated, with grills at either side and the rear, with radiator mounts on the sides. That way you get everything you do with a normal case, but somewhere dedicated to cooling your radiators, you can have air pulled in from both sides, through the radiator, then out the rear, would be quite nice to see... Would also be nice if it was aluminium, but only if it means it doesn't cost a ridiculous amount :p
 
Ok, thanks everyone, I'll have a look through a load of reviews for the 700D and 800D, and try to think of how I would mount the rads, then come back and see if anyone has any other ideas :)
