I'm looking to upgrade my case from a HAF 922 and looking at one of these two cases. I am water cooled with a 240 and 360 radiator and would need them to fit.

I heard the Xigmatek can fit both a 240 and 360 radiator which I like, but I don't like the looks of the case too much.

Has there been a HAF X build with a pedestal or a way to mod the case to fit a 360 and 240 while leaving the hard drive cages on top and bottom?
 
I have the HAF X, upgraded from the 922 and loved it. I have purchased the parts to do a 360 rad for it and after measuring it out, it will fit no problems.

Here is a link to overclockers.net build where a guy put a 360 and a 240 in the HAF X cooling the CPU and 2 465's.
 
clash of ugly plastic gigants? :d

i'd go for something classy and aluminium, like lian li A70f instead
 
That case doesn't have a spot for 360 and 240 radiator as I would need. I would also like a case that can support XL-ATX because I would want 3 way CF/SLI in the future with extra slots open.
 
I would go with the elysium because of its size. It will be easier to work with.
 
I went with the elysium for myself. It's huge, and I love it, though there are small things about it that bug me (only because they would have been easy to take care of if Xigmatek had thought things through).
 
I am thinking about this three cases below. HAF-X looks better I think but xigmatec also has nice look reminding me of Dead Space. Thing is that I need more space and xigmatek has PLENTY so I probably go with it. Antec has one disadvantage which are this 5.25 bay railing covers which might be in the way of using it and I don't like that.

Elysium.
Microcenter has them on special for $171 (vs $212 on NewEgg).
 
Just picked up a HAF X myself, and I love it. But if all things were equal I would have considered the Elysium as well, it is a beast.
