Budget: Any (without customization required, like Newegg/NCIX etc supplied, not some custom deal from DangerDen or anything)
Form Factor: ATX, preferentially Mid to large Mid (wants to avoid Full towers if possible)
Goal: Full WC build. Visible guts: Wants the WC to look nice and be visible
Current components: i7-3930k, ASUS P9X79 Deluxe, Ripjaw 4x8GB 2133 RAM, EVGA Signature GTX 690, XPSC Raystorm + Razor 690.
This will be a new build for a first time WC'er. Kit will likely be custom, so radiator dimensions/etc are currently unavailable for your recommendations. He currently has a first-gen core series system in a 600T, and is upgrading to an Sandy-E system. He wants to go "all-out" (within reason) with this build, WC will likely involve2 GFX (1 GTX 690), 1 CPU, with the possibility of RAM/Northbridge (he likes the idea/look, even if it provides low functionality). There will probably be a second thread dedicated to cooling recommendations later as more of the hard components are assembled, but if you wish to add those along with your case selection, feel free!
So I would greatly appreciate your recommendations. I immediately said Switch 810 but he was worried about the size being too big (it's not off the table but would like more options). Please also don't just say a case, please attempt to give a pro/con to your selection, especially if they are against the initial requests (size/etc). Thanks so much everyone!!

If you feel this makes a huge difference, please provide your case selections for these options with said note.
