So I was looking at the x99 platform for my upcoming build, with 2 290x's as well for 3x1080p 23" screens. All that said I noticed that they had a micro-ATX board. So my question is how hard is it to fully water cool a Micro-ATX case? At that it needs to have these specs:

 

  1. Hold at least 4 3.5" Drives
  2. Have at least 1 External 5.25" Drive Bay
  3. Have at least 1 SSD spot
  4. Have a window
  5. Support X-Fire.
  6. Must be compatible with a fully custom water cooling loop in the future as well.

If you've previously won the build off please pm me so we can get something worked out.

If you buy caselabs, it will be simple. But if a regular caseb like the air 240 or something along those lines, it is possible, but i would feel it is too cramped.

Other than something like a Caselabs case, all that comes to mind is the Fractal Node 804. Though for it to handle the 4x HDD you have a PSU length limit. I'd say about 165-170mm max. Silverstone and Fractal both have PSU's that would fit.
