Triple Top Blowhole Lian-Li

I am picky...

...Project #3 for me is abandoning my NZXT and going for something nicer-feeling, with better cooling than this damnable Apollo.

I would really like to have a full tower case (I've got a big CPU cooler, a big vidcard, and a big PSU), but I also want to have a top-mounted blowhole like the one I lost when I gave up my Antec 900. Something along the lines of this:

But I don't want to spend $400. The window part isn't critical, I'd like to have 120mm fans but 92s or 80s are good, too. I hate the single-blowhole look with a passion. And I know that FrozenCPU sells replacement top panels that have blowholes pre-cut and -drilled, but I don't have a rivet gun to instal the new panel.

Anyone know a place that'll build me a full tower Lian-Li with a triple-blowhole?
 
Eh. So I'm guessing I'll have to call up FrozenCPU and ask them to make me a V2000B w/ a halfsie side window and a custom top panel. And then justify the expense by calling it a graduation present :)
 
lol I had an Antec 900, and I traded out of that because I thought it didn't have enough "pop" in the styling (I was wrong...my computer was just ugly). Now I have an NZXT, which honestly just feels cheap and looks like a kids' computer, now that I have one. The Lian V2000 has the high-end finish and feel, and I'm pretty sure I can take care of the blandness if I can figure out how to get the halfsie window and a top blowhole. One of the things I like about the V2000 is that the motherboard area is divided from the HD and PSU bays...which gives me more places to hide CCFL lighting and whatnot.

As for mid-towers...you know, the 8800GTS just barely squeezes into the NZXT, and it would be a similarly tight fit in the Antec. If it's not really a comfortable fit in an Antec 900...

...plus a case that big just gives you so many more options for doing stuff.
