Good case for water cooling?

Hey hey
I'm interested in seeing if anyone has a recommendation for a server case that would be a good setup for water cooling. I plan on purchasing a blizzard water coooling unit, and would like to have a server case that has a large space above the power supply (with a shelf would be best) where I could set the resovoir and have the fans cooling the water blow out above the space of the power supply. I've seen a few cases with specifications as I've described, but some are just not good cases. I really like the Antec 1240, but it has no support under the powersupply, and no shelf on top of the power supply. A shelf isn't neccessary because one could rest a water resoivoir on top of the PSU alright I suppose.

Any ideas? Gotta be a big, serious server case, but I would need room etc. to have a water cooling setup in there. Anyone have such a setup and have found a good case that accomodates it?

Wow, I can't believe nobody answered this before. Obviously you need a large case. The Antec SX1030 (or something similar) would be good, around $100. Great case, very popular. Comes with a good 300w Antec PSU. You might need to replace it with a bigger one, or add another one for your water cooling setup.
