This is a situation where size matters.

Which brand and model video cards are you going to install?

Which cpu heatsink are you going to install?

I will probably go with a gtx 295 or sli 260 or i a ati 5870 or 2 4890s crossfire and liquid cooling

The GTX 295 is 10.4 inches long. Allow a little more for the power cables.

The ATI 5870 is 11 inches long. Allow a little more for the power cables.

You will need a pc case that is in excess of 20 inches in length from front to back. A length closer to 24 inches would be better. The case should also be at least 8 inches wide to accomodate a 160mm tall tower style cpu heatsink. The case will be quite a bit larger than the typical atx mid-tower case.

Here is a link to one example, the Coolermaster HAF 932:

I have that case. It is huge. Ventilation, airflow, and cooling are excellent. If you would like something different look for cases with similar dimensions.
