I've been looking at all kinds of cases and just can't seem to find the right one. Contemplating a watercooling loop so it would have to be a larger case. The main ones I've been looking at are the Corsair 800D and the 650D. I've got a 600T but I noticed a fair amount of creaking due to either the plastic on the case or the window. I'm fairly certain that it's the window though. The case would have to be available in a black color as I'd be buying for a full black/red build. As of right now though, the 800D is my leading choice.

I think you can do more with a 800D, but the Switch 810 is a little more plug and play. I'm not the biggest fan of the way it looks, though. If I was going to go that big, I would go with Mountain Mods or Case Labs. The 800D is very, very heavy when loaded up. Aluminum cases help keep the weight down

If you're serious about watercooling, the 800D is a case you can grow into especially as you get more skilled.

I've seen them and I just don't like the look at all, I love the style of the 800D though which is why when I go for the build unless something new comes out I'll probably go with it.

Yeah, I've seen some amazing mods and builds for it and there's tons of room.
The Cosmos II is another possibility, but I like a window to show it off, especially if watercooling.

Take a look at CM Storm Trooper. If anything it should be sufficiently rigid, being approx 15 kg of steel.

Switch 810 and Shinobi XL are fantastic when it comes to watercooling support. Certainly better than the 800D out of the box.
