Thermaltake CORE W100

Anyone have experience building with Thermaltake's CORE W100 case?

 

Starting to plan my next build, here are the broad strokes in terms of case requirements:
Full ATX

2x 980TIs

2x 3.5" HDDs

2x 2.5" SSDs

Custom hard line loop with at least two 280mm Rads

 

Having trouble picking a case for this build, I don't want anything quite as big as Corsair's 900D, but I don't want to be cramped either.

Caselabs cases are surely a higher build quality, but for a comparable case to the w100 you'll be paying nearly double it's price.  I've been curious about the X71 and W100 as well. I applaud Thermaltake for making cases of these sizes and form factors at a low price, but they do have quite a reputation for making cheap knockoffs of other cases.

Thank you for the responses, its been over 5 years since my last build (in a Corsair 800D) and I appreciate the insight into the current lay of the land...

 

I would love to spring for a Caselabs case but fully configured with the necessary accessories runs around $600, which is a bit more than I'd like to spend.

 

The Define S is nice, I definitely need to take a hard look there...any other suggestions?  Corsair 750D?
