New Case needed

Anyone recommend a case that can take dual 280 rads, pump/tube res combo and good cable routing or dual chambers
Building new machine for sister in law and she doesn't like the Corsair 540Air that I suggested as its too ugly and big!

Phanteks cases are well suited to water cooling and the Fractal Define S is another one well suited to it.

She now has "seen" Corsair 600C- just trying to find if it can take two large 280 rads- 60mm without fans!

Just picked up a Corsair 600C from popular auction site for a very nice price so will see how we go with that.
Thanks to all the replies- appreciated

Does the Phanteks hold 60mm rads does anyone know as the Corsair 600C does not hold 2 280mm 60mm rads and is a bit of a shocker to be honest!
Anything else I should consider as well of similar size

NZXT H440 will take two 280mm radiators.

This will take 280mm rads (60mm)

Excellent case to work with.

NZXT cases are great.

Both look good just need to figure out where to mount the pump/reservoir combo on each so I can decide which one go go with

With the H440 and EK's pump/res units you can mount it between the top rad and graphics card. For reference I have a 30mm rad in pull in the top and a 60mm rad in push pull in the front.

Or you can just ghetto mount in the front though you need to ensure a thinnish (<35mm) front rad and only a single set of fans.
