Cosmos 2 isn't actually that good imo - thing is more a paper weight. :) What is your budget and what size? mid, full, super?

Also - search - there have been a few post about this. Check out the build log section - bunch of rigs done up in there...

i have no price limit, i figured as the build is gonna be a slow build so i can get the case, psu, rads and fans then get the gpu and cpu and motherboard later on with the water blocks at the same time

NZXT Switch 810 I have seen in a lot of builds. Some people do not like that they are made with mostly plastic.

i was looking at the Corsair 600T white but i feel like it will be 2 small for duel GTX Titans. reason why i was looking at the Cosmos 2 was cause i can use allot of rads in it
Not the best water cooling case actually pretty horrendous considering how small it is and the design would be hell to get a really good loop for it. Cosmos 2 wouldn't be the best idea and 800D and TJ07 would be a better option and I think they look better than the Cosmos 2.

yh i do feel if i get the cosmos 2 i will have to mod it a fair bit to get it how i want, the reason why i like the 600t is mainly cause of the white edition fits the theme for the build i want to do, the biggest issue with the cosmos is mostly the size of it, iv got a antec 1200 atm and its really hard to move with just air cooling

If you are looking for a case where user input in terms of DIY is concerned then as many have stated, look no further than caselabs, or mountain mods.

Silverstone tj11 - tj07

Corsair 800D - (imminant arrival soonish 900D)

There are so many more which are suited one way or another these days for watercooling but may require a little tinkering here and there but depends on what you want.

Core - EVGA Classified 3 | i7 980x | 12GB Corsair Dominator GT | Lian Li P80 | Corsair 128 Neutron GTX | 2 x WD 500gb Velociraptor | Asus Xonar Xense | 2 x EVGA 590 | Enermax Platimax 1500


Water Cooling - Alphacool NexXxos 360 Monsta | TFC 360 | Alphacool D5 Vario | Alphacool 250 Tube res | EK Supreme HF Nickle Plexi | 2 x EK Nickle Plexi 590 WB | Aquaero 5 XT

Well I'd suggest one of the following:

Pretty much anything of caselabs

Corsair 900D [800D is not THAT awesome for LC]

Xigmatek Elysium [using myself :D]

Silverstone TJ11

CM Storm Stryker [if you mod -> see TTL]

Frost upon these cigarettes.... lipstick on the window pane...
