Hey folks!
Was just wondering if I could fit two of the new EK Coolstream SE 360mm rads (the slim ones) in the Define S?
Based out of pictures looks like it should, but I just wanted to double check with you guys! :)
Cheers! :D

You certainly can, I have two Alphacool NexXxos ST30 360mm (30mm thick) radiators in my Defins S and fits no problem.

Define S is the most watercooling friendly case I ever see. 

Yes, It will fit two 360mm rad, even if they all 55mm.

The max size rad fit in this case without mods is 420X30mm(top)+420X55mm(front).

Can you post a picture? I want to see how it looks before jumping on something like that myself.

If you dont believe it, just god to their website, there is a picture of all possible radiator configure.

Though I used thin 30mm radiators.

Note mobos with big I/o shield covers like the sabertooth series do limit your radiatior config. I had to cut off a corner of my last fans plastic housing to get it to fit and even then the first time I installed it I had a short somewhere and I got usb overpower. (I had to put usb plugs into all of the back io ports and then I got it to work fine.)
