original phantom has enough area to support a decent loop and looks badass. i have the 410

NZXT Switch 810

 

Make sure to read this thread for info about the compatibility of the H220 with the Switch 810.

 

Also, here are some pics from the Swiftech webpage with the H220 in the Switch 810:

 

 

If you don't want that case, check Swiftech's Compatibility page for the H220, to see some other case options.

For a white case: any Corsair since the look amazing in my opinion, BitFenix Colossus, Fractal Design Define R3, Nzxt SWITCH 810, NZXT H2.

I agree with @Breakdown Nzxt switch 810 is really nice

Xigmatek Elysium will fit basically anything

FD Define R4 for sleek looks

OP's using an E-ATX motherboard. The Fractal Design Define R4 doesn't support it.

 

Edit: Sorry, apparently the Fractal Design Define R4 can carry E-ATX boards, though it doesn't officially support it. See here for more info. My mistake.

 

A pic from that forum, with the Define R4 carrying an Asus Maximus Formula V:

Maybe a 650D from Corsair. That has support for 2 240mm radiators. The Fractal Design Define R4 is so sleek and it is unbranded. It only has support for stuff like the H100i though. I think it is worth it because it is such a nice case.

This is a great case.  I personally use a 600T and think it's an awesome case as well.  Lot's of room and looks pretty sharp.

you should buy and old case for like $5 cut out the motherboard area and put the pc into an old 1950s tv its actually perfect, I just built a pc into one and it looks awesome once you take out the old tv and mount a monitor in the gap :D

The 600T is too rounded for me.
