I'm going to build a new ryzen build. I'm struggling to determine what computer case I should get, and so I'm hoping for some suggestions. These are the requirements I'm looking for in it:
1. I should be able to fit at least 8 3.5" hdds, and at least 1 2.5" ssd (as that's what I currently have, the ssd could always be taped behind something though).
2. I'm going to be using a full custom loop, and I already have a 360mm radiator, and a swiftech h220x (240mm).
3. I'm hoping for at least decent aesthetics. I'd also love to be able to expand it later.

I've found these two cases right now that are interesting:
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147245&cm_re=rosewill_b2-_-11-147-245-_-Product
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133275&cm_re=thermaltake_core_x9-_-11-133-275-_-Product

I like the Core X9's ability to stack, however it only offers 6 hard drive slots I think. It has A LOT of room for radiators though.

The Rosewill case is also really intriguing because it has a lot of hard drive slots, as well as enough radiator room. I think I'd have to take the front off for airflow, so I'm not sure if that would make it look too terribly ugly.

Anyway thanks for any suggestions you guys can come up with.

I suggest check companies directly. You're looking for full tower case if you're looking to fit that many HDDs so that cuts down on the choice considerably. Companies to check out:
Corsair
Thermaltake
Phanteks
NZXT
Fractal Design
Cooler Master
Silverstone
Rosewill
Zalman
DeepCool
BitFenix

Each will have maybe 3-4 full tower designs and since you have both a 360 and a 240 rad and need space for 8HDDs, that will limit your choices further.
Here's also a nice list, I may not necessarily agree with but it has reviews attached so you might find something you like quicker:
