Looking For A New Case

[Skelly]

So I am trying to set up my watercooling loop and I currently own a Cooler Master Storm Sniper Black Edition and a Silverstone RV-02. I have a thick 3x120mm radiator (XSPC RX360) and a dual 5.25" bay reservoir (RP 452-X2).

The RV-02 just won't do for watercooling because the exhaust at the top is only one 120mm slot, and I can't put the rad on the bottom because my video card is long and goes right down to the fans.

I tried installing everything the the Storm Sniper, but there isn't enough clearance over the motherboard for the radiator, so its just not going to fit.

So here I am in the market for a new toy . I know the Corsair 800D is the default choice for a roomy case with lots of features, but I'm wondering what other suggestions people might have.

I'm looking around the $300 price range, but I'm pretty flexible.
The case obviously has to be roomy enough to fit my monster rad.
Hotswap would be nice, but not required.
At least 4, 5 preferred 5.25" bays
I don't care about USB 3.0 ports.
Dust filters are basically a necessity.

I'm kind of under the impression the the Xigmatek Elysium is a big ugly coffin (sorry Synthaxx), but maybe I'll warm up to it as I look around.

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

http://www.mountainmods.com/monticle-24-cyo-p-500.html I would love to get one of these and be able to customize it. Thought about doing it the next build I do. They have a huge list though of custom cases too. Kinda neat you only get exactly what you want.

I stand by my Antec Darkfleet 85. no litterly i have to the dam thing is so huge! Its perfect for those who want to put everything into the case and still have room to breath. Also the case does have rubber tubbing holds for water cooling pipes.

The DF-85 does not support triple rads, unfortunately.

If you really want something different than normal, go with a Mountain Mods Case as was suggested before. Or you can also go and get a Danger Den Case. All acrylic, so it's not for everyone.
