New Case for custom loop

I am looking for a new case that can fit my custom loop of 2 360 rads.

At the moment I am using the Fractal Design S, but I really want some of that Tempered Glass goodness.

For starters, I like the Lian Li 330x a lot, but I cannot find if it supports 2 360 rads. The second consideration is that I've read that the airflow isn't the best as well.

 

Any ideas or suggestions?

My current rig:

 

CPU :Intel I7 4790K , MOBO: Asus Maximus Hero VII , STORAGE: Plextor m6e 256Gb + WD Black 3Tb, GPU(s): 1x ASUS STRIX GTX 1060, PSU: Corsair RM1000 , CASE: Fractal Design S.

Upgrade to the Define R6. Everything you love about the Define S, but with TG, PSU shroud and fairly modular! :)

I've looked at the R6, only the layout of the case seems different. I don't really want to drill holes, and there doesn't seem to be any reservoir mounts.

And maybe this is me, but I kinda want something more flashy as the Define series now :D

Perhaps the NZXT H700i then? The top 360 RAD would be limited to a slim rad, but otherwise it's definitely a lot flashier! (It's got a proprietary lighting controller built in though, just FYI)

Thanks for the suggestion! But the problem is that I already have 2 normal thickness 360 rads, so, unfortunately, that won't fit, unless I buy a small rad as well.

Maybe I'll consider it again, but maybe some other suggestions as well :P ?

The be quiet! case is pretty expensive though and has no PSU shroud (which i would like to have)

 

Maybe to specify a bit more, I'm looking for a case for around $150, has tempered glass and has a PSU shroud.

It also has to support the dual 360 rads, and has to have a reservoir mount.

 

I love the look of the Thermaltake case btw, but I think its a bit big, and unfortunately also too expensive.

Your best option is still the Define R6. Everything else is too big, too expensive, doesn't have a PSU shroud/TG, or a combination of them all.

Crap, that sucks. Why don't more people implement the great features of Fractal :P
