SilverStone Fortress FT04 @ Phoronix

the new "04" generation Fortress and Raven cases have been a long time in the making and appear to be well worth the wait.  Both case designs feature flipped motherboard configurations with the processor at the bottom of the case, expansion cards out the back and PSU at the top.  The front of these cases both have twin 180mm fans and promise to be the best cooling cases on the market.

Phoronix has a review of the new FT04 and they seem to like it.

When it comes to hardware reviews after reviewing CPUs, GPUs, and SSDs under Linux, one of my personal favorites is always looking at SilverStone's latest and greatest computer cases. While their enclosures have nothing to do with the operating system, so many of their designs are incredible and innovative that they're always fun checking out. The latest ATX enclosure I've had the honor of looking at is the SilverStone Fortress FT04.

I'll be reviewing the new Raven 4 this month and afterwards plan to do a full system build using it.  I'm still trying to figure out how to shoehorn a 360 (Dual 180mm) rad into one of these cases, I know it can be done but, something will get lost in the process.
