I'm building a PC which will sit next to my HDTV. Primary use for this machine will be gaming, and Blu-Ray, with office functionality in a secondary role.

To that end, I'm considering water cooling as it is quieter and provides better performance. I'd appreciate any suggestions for a good case to use, which will allow me to cut a template in the top for the radiator at a later date. I've looked at the Corsair Obsidian, and a few Silverstone models, and while these are undoubtedly great cases, I wish I knew if it was worth it to be spending over $200 for just a case. If I can get by with something cheap (but still solid) I'd like to do that.

Once you buy a case in the $150~$250 range, you'll never go back to crappy $50 or even $100 cases. The Lian Li http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811112159 is awesome, but is a tad over your price range. This Lian Li is also cool http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811112243 .

Buf if you're on a tight budget, the NZXT Panzer Box http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811146056 is also good for water cooling.
