Im kinda looking for a new case mine is beat and batterd looking for a new case for under 200 shipped i have a rx360 rad thats 60mm thick and fans in push pull and a rx240 60mm push pull, so need to have some room to fit that stuff in it. Listed some i have found and like but not sure if my rads will fit without having to mod anything. Post any cases that might fit my needs im still trying to find more that support water cooling.
Wont fit such a thick radiator on top but as the case is very cheap right now you could use whatever you save on the case to get a new radiator for the top. Also, I personally like the build quality of Fractal Design cases and the very smart design for water cooling. Also not as 'loud' in terms of design as the cases you linked.
case is just to small i need a full tower case i am looking at the Fractal Design Define XL R2 Black Silent tho, but after looking it does not say it supports a 360 rad.

Yeah that one doesnt support a 360 as far as I know. The Fractal Design Arc XL would have been great for you too bad they discontinued it. Hope someone that has some experience with the Termaltake cases can give you some feedback, I havent heard many good things on them but havent looked at reviews of their more recent cases
reviews iv found on the Thermaltake Core X71 so far have been pretty good overall. I have a small mid-tower thermaltake case i use for my server/media pc its cheap but has got the job done not really big enugh for the stuff in it but still cools decent. http://www.legitreviews.com/thermaltake-core-x71-full-tower-chassis-review_176836/2
I ended up ordering the x71 for 127 off walmart.com and i pick it up monday from my local store really liked the case for some reason.
I think you'll be happy with the X71. I grabbed a V51 off of eBay about a month ago and really like it so far. I will say that with my 240mm radiator up top and 4 fans in push/pull it does cover up the top tabs for the RAM slots and almost comes into contact with the RAM itself, but there's just enough clearance that it's only an issue if I need to pull the RAM for some reason. The X71 might have more room, and with an open loop cooler you have more freedom to mount the radiator where you want it, whereas I was limited by the length of the tubing on my H100i (I'm still not thrilled that I had to yank my 200mm fans that I had up top to mount the rad when a little more tubing length would've allowed me to mount the radiator on the bottom , but oh well).
