Which Case?

Ok so I'm wondering which case I should get for my upcoming build. I will be water cooling the cpu and gpu with a 360mm rad in the top and a 240mm on the bottom or front. I will be using an atx board with a cylindrical res, about 250ml, which I would mount next to the mobo. If money wasn't a problem and you had the same specs for your build, which would you get and why? Also how is the build quality of the shinobi xl? If you would not like either of these and would like to recommend another then just put it below and make sure it has a window, and not alot of plastic. Thanks for any advice  :)

Switch 810. MUCH CHEAPER. But for the plastic....................................................

OR you can get a cosmos 2 or a tj07 or a corsair 600t running a 240 at bottom and 200 at front or you could get a nzxt phantom or a rosewill blackhawk .

Why?

It's overpriced and is also like 3 years old, not only that but no USB 3.0 ports

I have a Switch 810 and will be putting a 360mm in the roof, a 240mm in the bottom and a 120mm in the rear. I love this case! As long as you don't mind plastic, then go for it. If you get a Switch 810, get a Special Edition, because on the normal edition, part of the 5.25" drive bay blocks the third fan on the 360mm rad in the top.

well if u want to go for water-cooling ready capability with no modding, Cooler Master was the one who pioneered watercooling-ready cases, so go for a Cosmos II.
