How realistic is this in a midi tower??

Im begining to spec out a new build, and it seems like the first place to start is the case.

Im looking for a midi tower case that will hold 2 x gpu's and maybe allow for watercooling in the future.
One method I could try would be to buy one of the dual gpu cards either amd or nvidia, Im not sure yet, but that would save space..
Before I start scouring the web and looking at midi towers, how possible is this?
Can I get a midi tower case that will support 2 x gpu and maybe some water cooling.
If it is not possible, then the watercooling will have to go, as I just don't have room for a full tower..

Has anyone got a watercooled, dual gpu rig in a midi tower?

I guess I will have extra room as I will only use 1 5.25" bay, so might have a bit of leeway there for w/cing
I don't mind how expensive it is as this case will have to do me for the next few years, so want a 'premium' case

Just exploring the possibilities, as Im not ready to buy until the bulldozer reviews are out.

All I'm going to say is: Good luck.

The HAF 922 is as big as most full towers apart from the height, I think it might be suited to watercooling.

The coolermaster storm sniper, it can have a 240mm rad in the top and is very good for space, i love mine

That's a full tower though.

A CM 690 II Advanced should fit the bill - enough space for two 240mm radiators, doesn't break the bank, and has enough room for 2 GPUs.

^What I was going to recommend. Removing the bottom HDD bay leaves room for a 240 rad at the bottom, and there's enough space for a 240 at the top also.

Plenty of space in the case aswell for dual GPUs etc.

That is actually not too bad a looking case..
Though looking at the size, it is only fractionally smaller than the HAF X
Might be the 1st entry on the 'possible cases' list

Goes off to measure desk space..
