Tower/full tower compatible with two 360mm radiators?

[Harry Voyager]

Looking at doing a major rebuild and changing to a more open case. Anyone have any recommendations for a tower/full tower with enough space for two 360mm radiators and a quiet design? It lives on the floor so clear sides mostly represent a hazard than a cool thing.

I use a fractal design meshify s2 and I am pretty happy with it. should be more than enough space for 2 360mm rads. I have one with a glass panel, but i think there is also an option without that

Pretty much every mid tower will take 2 360mm radiators. Budget?

False; Most will do a 360 at the front and a 240 at the top simultaneously. You have to get into the "borderline full towers" like the Define 7, Corsair 5000D and Lian Li PC-O11D to actually fit more than one 360 rad in the case.

I hope it's at least off the floor a little bit; on a stand or even a plank of wood to get it away from the floor dust (carpet or hard surface, it sucks it up no matter how often the home is cleaned)

Have mine on a desk and my god dust comes in no matter what.

Ended up ordering the Meshify 2 XL, so should have the space. Also ended up not going with the setup that required two 360's so became a bit of a moot point. 

 

The current one is only elevated by its feet, but the cat really likes to live on the desk or curled up next to it when it's running, so it's getting dust regardless. May look into a small stand for it to line the top of it up with my desk surface. I've got my VR headset rack gaffer taped to the top of my current case, so the geometry is a bit odd. But we will see how it all fits.

Even a few inches (10mm) of elevation off the ground is a significant difference especially in a pet environment. The Meshify 2 XL is pretty tall, so if it's under a desk it probably wont be able to be put on much taller of a stand. 

 

Out of curiosity, why the XL over the standard size? Especially now that there's no dual 360 requirement.

There may be in future. I prefer to keep cases for a long time, and next cycle I do want to do a full water cooling rig.

 

Honestly that was the plan for this rebuilt but real world risks pushed the time table up, so I'm just using AIO.
