Looking for a case that supports EATX and can handle a custom loop.

I've been a fan of Corsair cases for a while and currently own a 280X and 450D and love them both, however I'm looking for a case that can support EATX, provides ample room for cable management and can handle dual 360 rads, or possible a 240/360 combo. Can't seem to find too much that I like online and was wondering if any of you have a case that you'd recommend for this type of build. I'd prefer a mid tower, but I'm open to a full tower as well.

Define R6/S2 ticks all of your boxes, but you will have to make sure that the motherboard will fit, as it doesn't support all EATX boards.

Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic XL? 2 360mm rad support pretty much means it has to hold a big rad up top or down below, which already limits your choices (unless you go for the monster 1000D which is even bigger than what we generally call "full tower")

I like the Dynamic, and the Dynamic XL looks like it'd be a good fit however I can only find it in the white/aluminum finish and I'm not a huge fan. Maybe if I can find one in black?

That looks pretty clean and the price isn't too bad either. Thanks for the input!

Ya the Define R6 has TONS of room in them, as said though, double check on your mobo of choice. Which one are you thinking of?
