Looking to buy premodded case

What would be the best, already modded, case with water cooling for under 250-300? I want a good looking one with usb and other connectors on the top of the case (full tower preferably, over 20'' tall) Need one that cools well and could help with dust buildup. Thanks!

Look at thermaltake's line. Like the armor and tsunami line. You'll have to install the water cooling yourself, I don't think there's any with it preinstalled (you'd have to take it out to install the computer anyways). I think the Armor line has holes in the back all ready to go for you if you do an external pump (though there's enough room for an internal one) (I think it's about $150)

I don't think you'll find any premodded cases WITH watercooling for under $300. Usually, the watercooling itself will probably be at least half of that amount. As blue mentioned, look to thermaltake for a well cooled case. Lian Li and Coolermaster are also known for having roomy, well designed cases with excellent airflow.

There are these cases by Koolance. There are a couple that are on sale below $300. I don't think they meet the requirement for the USB/audio connectors on top though.
