Phanteks Evolv X alternatives???

Phanteks Evolv X would most likely be perfect for me, but is sold out and nowhere to be found for another month or more.  I am looking for a mid-ish tower case with tempered glass side that can accomodate a HWLabs 420GTX and 280GTX.  From what understand this is possible in the Evolv X.  Any recommendations?

be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900

Fractal Design Define S, There's a first party tempered glass panel for sale separate from Fractal design now

POSSIBLY Define R6 as well, though you have to use low profile memory and your heatsinks on your motherboard cant be higher than that either.

Phanteks Enthoo Pro TG

Thermaltake Core X71

Thanks for the list.  The Dark Base Pro 900 may work.  I am not a big fan of the Define S, the Enthoo Pro TG will not take a 420mm and 280mm, and the X71 is just too massive for me.  Do you think the Pro 900 will handle both those rads being 54mm thicc?
