hello, its been a while since i was last here but i am in the need to find a case that can hold all my current stuff plus the new stuff i want to add to my current system.

for starters i already have a Corsair Hydro H100 CPU cooler, so it must have a double 120mm fan configuration either on top or back for this.

Secondly i need to have at least 4x 5.25" front accessible Bays for my Blu-Ray/DVD drive and my current disc tray that holds my RAID 5 Array. i also have 4 Disc Drives and 2 SSD's that need internal mounting.

And finally the new addition that requires a new case is 2x EVGA 980 Hybrids, the newest all in one water cooled GPU. so on top of the single 240mm radiator for the CPU that needs mounting i will also need a way to mount 2 more 120mm radiators, one for each GPU.

now my current case has the room on top for me to relocate my 240mm radiator on top but i will have to modify the case to make it fit as there are no holes for 120mm fans up there, only one large 230mm fan.

if there is a case out there that can hold all this stuff i would be really interested in purchasing it over spending hours modifying my current case. as for price under $300 please.
 
Solution
Phanteks Enthoo Luxe at $150

Phanteks Enthoo Primo at $220

Both fit the H100.
Both have room for mounting 2 SSDs
Both have 6 HD cages making existing cage redundant. (will fit in Primo tho)

Tho 120/140 rads are a bit undersized for that GPU. The hybrid solution frankly comes up a bit short.

To bad you already have the H100...a Swiftech H240-X with just a normal 980s and water blocs on the GPUS would have done much better. It might even be worth it to switch.

that case does look amazing for people who build their own water cooled towers. by the looks of it i can fit my H100 radiator and 1 GPU radiator on top and the 2nd GPU radiator on the back. i dont think i would put the GPU's on the bottom but i could... as for everything else, it will hold that stuff too. very interesting case and thus far at the top of my list.

ya, i guess i'll only get 1 case suggestion, but man it is a nice case. i think this case will make me go to a full fledged custom water cooled system eventually. though after the new GPU's cash in hand is something of a premium at the moment so that will have to wait for another day.
