Good case for custom water cooling?

I'm planning on building my first custom matter cooling loop. I'll be trying to cool a 9700k and a Zotac 1080ti amp extreme. I'd like to keep a mid tower form factor. Any ideas on the best case for this?

The Lian Li O-11 Dynamic seems really popular and Gamers Nexus gave it the Best Overall Case for 2018 Award. A bit more expensive than a Define S, but in the same pricing tier as the Meshify S2.

Fair enough, when I was choosing my case it was between the Meshify S2 and the O11 Dynamic as well and truthfully, you cant go wrong with either.

I recently ordered a customized Singularity Computers Spectre 2.0 case. Downside is the ridiculous cost but if budget isn't a factor it looks perfect for custom water cooling builds. If you're looking for something more affordable but still excellent I'd stick with the 0-11 dynamic, although depending on your build it may a little small so you could just wait for the slightly larger XL version that's supposed to be released soon.
