I'm planning a new build I'll be doing within the next year. My requirements are that the case must support E-ATX and must also have enough room for a double Liquid loop. Anyone know any good cases that can do those?

The Fractal line is often used by watercooling builds, so you could find several examples online as to what might work. You're looking at the following TDP loads based on typical base thermal design:

i9 9900 - 95watts at factory clocks/settings
2080Ti - 250-260watts (x2 = 500/520watts)

At factory clocks, you're looking at around 600 watts to cool in total, which power draw cannot = thermal load output 100%, so anywhere from 70-85% is more realistic, making this value around 450-510watts, although I like to lean towards the higher end. This could be handled by a single (thick) 360 radiator if you really wanted to. Otherwise, a single 360 for the GPUs would easily handle those cards and you could run a thick 240 or 360 for CPU, if...

Sadly due to some recent expenses I wont be able watercool right away but still plan to watercool this build just further in the future. I wanted to thank everyone for all the help provided to me in this process. It has been tremendously helpful and I am very thankful. Thanks again everyone who provided feedback.
