Looking at finally getting rid of my monster Corsair 800d.

What case can support 2 x 360mm rad with one of the rads being 60mm thick.

Looking at the new Thermaltake p5 but I fell out of love with Thermaltake after using their godawful attempts of liquid cooling many years ago.

Wondering what else is out there. Would ideally like a midi(ish) size with a window as I do like to look at the system
 
Have you checked out the Haf Stacker 935?
Or the addon version, Stacker 945. 4x 360mm rads for when you need ambient levels of cooling!

You could do it in the InWin 303 although it would block off a chunk of the motherboard at the bottom and therefore most likely make SLI impossible. Do you NEED a 60mm rad though?
 
Thanks for the suggestion, budget isn't a major issue but I don't want to be spunking the cost of a 1070 on one.

The Coolermaster thing is hideous, my case is already too large 800d.

While I do like the Fractal design cases (I have a Fractal Arc Mini 2 at work that's got 1x280 and 1x240 rad in it) I feel that the Define range hasn't got the airflow I'm after.
I cant help feeling that a lot of these cases without mesh/filters on the front cant allow enough airflow. Those side intake front panels are borderline useless. Although that's based on a mates NZXT440

Build something?
I'm not so amazing, still, building a setup that would handle 2x 560mm with little issue.

I don't want to bore you as it might not be your thing, I'll happily expand on it if wanted but I'm basically building it into a drawer. The "drawer" will be missing it's sides. Holes drilled with nice covers to take 2 x 200mm fans on each side, the back (and front) of the drawer is 600x300mm. The system can be racked out easily, won't make much noise, have craploads of cooling and (the way I'm building it) you'll barely notice the PC is there.

It's probably not appropriate, just a thought, but you basically want a 400x200x400ish box with a power switch on the front. See what you can come up with. If that's too hard, take a hole saw to a crappy old case and just mount them on the side panel, leave enough play in your tubing to allow the case door to open better (maybe even get some nicer hinge hardware so you can open the side and keep it in position safely).

There's plenty could be done really easily with plywood and vinyl with a bit of thought (buy a £25 atx tray to mount the mainboard and the rest can be as you want or hack one out of a donor case for free).
