Hi,

i'm searching for a ATX Case (can be E-ATX too) (Mid or Full Tower) which has enough place for my custom water cooling, I would mount an reservoir (not sure yet if with included pump or separate) in the front and would like at least one triple radiator on the top or bottom and an double or triple in the front. I will mount an ATX motherboard (if the case is E-ATX il will maybe mount an E-ATX motherboard) with 2 GPU's both with custom water cooling. The CPU will be too water cooled. And I will need place for at least 2x 2,5" SSD and 2x 3,5" HDD.

Some RGB would be nice, but I would mount some LED Strips anyway, and Tempered Glass on the side and front. Dust Filters are almost a must.

Something like the Lian-Li Alpha 550 but there I see the problem that if I decide to take one GPU vertically I couldn't insert a second one on the Top

Budget is about 350€ ~ 400USD

very nice case, even better then the Lian-Li one but there is still the problem that I can't mount one GPU vertically and one normally because of the In/Out of the custom Water Blocks

If that's your goal you'll most likely be looking at full towers with a third party Vertical mounting bracket. Most likely you'd need 9 PCi-E slots for this (7 are taken up by the vertical bracket, the last two are the horizontal card) and that's assuming the lower vertical card's I/n out ports clears the  top card. 

 

Or, you could go with the Coolermaster SL600M and flip the PCI-E rear plate to allow ALL PCI-E slots to be vertical, but you'd only see one card when viewing the case directly from the side.

I made a 3D web app that you can use to play around with PC case layouts.  You can change the components and drag them around.  It will let you download screen shots to help describe what you are looking for, Have a look at PC Design Foundry
