I'm just over the H440. it's a beautiful looking case but it's just... cramped. It's watercooled with a hard line setup of actual copper tubing. I can't fit my second Titan XP into the machine so it's time to upgrade.. 

 

Cases are the last thing I pay attention too these days. Big open window with room for everything just doesn't seem to exist. I have a Caselabs SMA8 brand new sitting in the back of storage but that would take far too long to get access too haha but that case is just huge.

 

What do you think would look good with a SLI setup and copper tube water cooling.

Get that SMA8 out and call it a day.

Sadly that's what I think I'll end up doing. It's just such a huge case

Budget? case labs has a lot of good looking cases but they're really expensive

Might be doable in a Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV...

If you were to get the Tempered Glass edition and some LED strips, it'll look very nice.

You'll easily be able to fit some 80mm monsta rads and have a dual loop set up in that baby...

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

By all means, I'm no expert in custom loops. I'm just wondering if a dual-GPU with a hardline copper tube setup will be too cramped in a mid ATX tower such as the EVOLV.

I'm digging the case with the tempered glass side panel but it just looks massively cramped. If they made a larger version of the case that would be amazing.

I was being sarcastic :D 

He's switching from a h440 as it's too "cramped" so what makes you think a "similar sized/smaller" case is going to do it for him?

Key word was 'doable'. Might be cramped but it's also not too big either.

 

If he's unhappy with it then the beQuiet! Dark Base Pro 900 would work nicely.

True and it does look better but his primary concern was the h440 was too small so...bigger case is required :P
