Best ATX watercooling case on the not so big side.

I would like to build an ATX system and do some custom watercooling.

What I need:

 

ATX form factor

Side panel window

Dual 240mm radiator support at the very least

Metal construction. The least amount of plastic the better

 

Is there such a case?

Any recommendation is welcome

600t. Best by far. Check out Ronsanut's watercooler build with it on YouTube.

Thanks for the recommendation. I guess I'll have to read some reviews now.

I would surgest a 550D if you have proper cooling. Realy.. Do you have more information about your taste? also prices?

Corsair C70 is a good case imo. Has lots of room for cable management with a non-modular psu. The Steel construction on this case makes this case very solid.

The cosmos ii is a great case for watercooling, with support for a 240mm rad at the bottom, up to 360mm rad on top and a 120 or 140mm rad in the rear and a lot of cable management. However, it is enormous and has no side window, but there is one website who sells windows at http://www.mnpctech.com/CoolerMaster_Cosmos_2_Clear_Side_Panels.html

Definitely the Case Labs SM8; the best watercooling case for the ATX form factor.

He said not on the big side and that case is around the size of a 900d.
