Case Hunting Help Needed

[Daniel644]

Looking for a case that has decent airflow (no super closed off front panels) because It will air cooled for the time being but at some point will go full custom loop and the computer has 2 Titan Xp's (and either a 6700k or 1700 depending on which one of my motherboard/CPU combo I decide to use for the base of the system that I already have) so based on the EK configurator the system will need dual 360 slim rads so I'm looking for a case that can hold a full custom loop with 2 360 rads and no less then 2 3.5" drives (preferably more as this will also be the file server), also must have at least 1 tempered glass panel as this will be a living room computer and don't want it to look cheap.

 

I currently have 1 of the systems in a Meshify C but with the RM750x/RM850x PSU length I had to completely remove the drive cage to have enough room for the PSU and there is no room for anything more then AIO's in that case.

Fractal Design R5 or R6

looks like you gotta pull all the HDD sleighs out on the R5 to even put in a front rad and I don't see where you mount a RES when you have ANY 3.5" HDD's in the R6.

Define S then?

close, meets the water cooling, PSU and HDD restrictions but only a plexi-side panel window option, no Tempered Glass.

 

was kinda leaning toward the Corsair 570x but I don't like how short the PSU shroud is (but that can be resolved with aftermarket options) but it would mean a 120/140 rad in the rear, 240 in the top and 360 in the front (unless there is a mod to get a 360 in the top) or the Dark Base 700 but the airflow on that case is shit and the Be Quiet page wouldn't let me have a rad in the front and the top so I don't now about clearance there.

Also i forgot, you get 2 3.5" HDD spaces on the back when you shift the modular panel to the back (Screen shot taken from the rendering promotional video)
