I'm looking for the cheapest case which is compatible with the H100i. Anyone have any ideas/experience/further research & examples to link?

I'd like to avoid modding in order to shoe-horn it in there.

Why not? I'm going to stuff an i7 in there.

There are better, cheaper, quieter, safer options with air cooling.

I agree there is equivalent/marginally better performance to be had with some of these air based products. I don't agree on the safety point. One may assume that the concern is simply translated from possible leakage to stress on the PCB structure? As for noise, I would imagine they would be equivalent (I'm not considering stock fans on the H100i; that would be naive).

I just don't like the bulk and sadly lack the funds for a full liquid cooling system at this time.
