Check Fractal Design Define R5 case, if that fits your needs. You can mount 2 SSDs behind motherboard tray, and 3+5 3.5'' drives. But you will have to remove top bracket for 5.25'' drives for mounting 360 radiator - since you cannot install it on front panel if you need to use those drives. Alternatively: Define XL but that case does not have good water cooling compatibility, you can install only 240 or 280 radiator on top.
