I don't get how you dislike cosmos II because of plastic, but you like NZXT. That 810 case has even more plastic than cosmos, entire front and top panel is plastic, and the type of glossy plastic that really stands out. If you don't like plastic cases, really nzxt is not the way to go.

You might look for Coolermaster ATCS 840, they are quite cheap by now, huge case, no modding 360 on top (or a 2x180 magicool, which is much better), and another 360 fits inside vertically without modding as well. It is really good quality case, aluminium, very solid panels, better than obsidian which is steel and just brushed alu front panel (with plastic underneath).

Even better quality? Lian Li A77F
It takes 360 or 420 rad on front, and a 280 top (2x140), no modding. Depending on front rad, you still have several 5,25'' bays left to use (2 or 3), can even take a 480.
good build

Look at the price of cosmos 2 and it's full Of plastic not worth the price. NZXT is. Cheap and yes has plastic but it's like 1 third of the price.

I can agree with this. I don't mind a plastic case if its cheap. But if I'm dropping some major cash on a build I would prefer to not waste money on a over plastic case.

Mind you I don't know squat about the COSMOS II... Never even seen one up close.
