If you can fit what you need in the define xl, go with it because it is well build and you'd be saving 100. If you don't mind spending the extra money for the space go with the 07

well im not sure..i would remove both bottom HDD cages on the Define, and mount a 240mm rad on there (if possible) and on the top one 240.. would that be enought?

2 240 rads will be fine for the cpu and gpu. I would recommend leaving one drive cage in the bottom and mounting the rad in the front. I am pretty sure you can mount a rad in the top.

i do like clean looks and as i mentioned i do love compartment cases with that plated there. When mounting the rad in front i will not have that ability.

 

Also the question was more like: can the top fit a 360 rad? or does it only fit a 240

I'm not completely sure but there are mounts for two 140mm fans. If you really want the compartment style case, the tj07 would be a good choice if you are willing to spend the money as there would also be more water cooling options.
