You could also consider ready for water cooling cards like this or this or, for even easier water-cooling, plug 'n play, self-contained water-cooled cards like these.

hmmm adds $200+ to the price of every card plus in the case of the nice idea self contained unit, finding spots to put each of the 120mm fan/cooler units.. (i really don't like having things hanging out of the case all over the place)
wondering how air would do.. my 285 runs less than 65c full load so with a bit of tinkering i would think i could keep a 295 below 75c total with 100% fan plus plenty of ambient air flowing all around it which is still well within factory specs. dunno. i have no clue what a properly running 295 runs at for temps. i have only ever seen 'problem' temps which are off the charts in msg boards.
i can see the need for water cooling when packing those babies together but i think i can get away without water on the standalone replacement for my tesla. plus i read water cooling results all over the place from 30c cooler to less than 5c difference between water and air. i definitely dont like the idea of spending 500 to 700 extra for proper water cooling for my system only to find it isnt much better than i had with air (especially with next year's project having to spend 200-300 extra per card.. would be cheaper to build 2 smaller air units to get the same gross results).
if it wasnt for the condensation problem i would just spend a few hundred on a top or front mount air conditioner or a window unit with a duct feed dedicated to the case.. nothing is gonna overheat when the ambient internal case temp is 1 to 3c :P

heh... might as well go for broke and get this case to put it all in :P
absolutely the greatest 'style' ive ever seen!

Of course, I'm talking about watercooling only for your multi multi-gpu project. For a single card you can do without it.

I don't think cooling-wise it'll have many big advantages over "standard" cases.

the only advantage i see is that it separates the heat generators into separate individually cooled compartments which reduces the overall heating load to have to deal with.
i can make anything work cool enough i think, i just LOVE how it looks :P
