I plan on changing out my case when I do a custom loop. I'm currently using a CM Storm Stryker and have been since I made this build a couple of years ago. It's a really nice case and I love that it has the handle so I can carry it outside and blow it out with compressed air. The problem is that it has just become too heavy to lift and takes up way too much room. Since I am planning a custom watercooling loop, I won't need the full tower case anymore and I would like to switch to a mid-tower case.

 

I currently have the ASUS Maximus VI Extreme Z87 motherboard with a 4770k overclocked cooled by a Corsair H100i. I do not plan on changing motherboards or CPUs unless Intel releases something that is astonishing and fixes every little broken detail of Haswell (like Devil's Canyon failed to do). I'm running two ASUS DCU2 R9 280x's but really want to switch to either an 880 or 880 Ti once they're released. I had a terrible time switching from my 670 FTW to these cards since I had a bad experience with a 6770m in my laptop, so I'm going back to NVIDIA.

 

That said, I absolutely adore the style and layout of the NZXT H440. However, I have a handful of hard drives and I don't see there being any available room to mount three HDDs (I have two SSDs, but with the mounting rails below the motherboard, those won't be an issue) in the H440 with a XS-PC Photon (or any other) reservoir.

 

My question to the community is: can anyone recommend a case, either based off of Linus's word or one's own experience that will match what I'm looking for? (similar style to H440, mounting space for res + HDDs, mid-tower)

If this isn't achievable in a mid-tower case, I will reconsider a few things for my current plan.
