The h50 with fans on high isn't relevant at all. I'll be using the h100 with the fans on a controller, and possibly replace the fans for something else. According to the reviews I've seen, the h100 performs very well with fans on low, and the performance scales through 200w+ overclocks.
What are the exact dimensions of the proposed case?
Probably around 60w stock, full CPU, 0 GPU use. If you kill hyperthreading and find the minimum stable voltage for stock clocks you can go lower, maybe 40w. I wouldn't be surprised to see 150w with hyperthreading on at 1.35v and 4.5 ghz. It would get worse from there, I would expect 200w at around 1.5v whatever clock that gets you. If you use on die GPU at all, add whatever that takes. I've seen an i7 920 over 300w (not precise, CPU load minus idle power at wall) at 4.2 ghz 1.5v, but the guy probably fried it by now.
The case is 20 cm wide, 41.5 cm tall, 34 cm deep. plus ~3mm material thickness to each dimension.
