Hey guys,

I'm looking for a water cooling case for a dual graphics setup.

Right now I have it envisioned as:

CPU -> 280mm radiator
2x GPU -> 140mm radiator each (or 120mm radiator if necessary)

Where the 280mm radiator will be on top as exhaust and the 2x 140mm radiators will be at the front as intakes.

Additional requirements are:
Quiet
Space for 1x ODD, 2x HDD, 2x SSD. Adaptors are welcome to fit the HDD's and SSD into a 5.25" bay; I'm also pretty sure the 5.25" adaptors can fit 2x SSD's each so it should be 4x 5.25" bays total.

So far I see the Fractal Design XL as maybe being able to do this? Any confirmation?

Any other cases I should look at?
 
I have the fractal design XL and all those spots work. You can fit a 240 or 280 up top, another 240 or 280, or 2-140's in the front... at least it looks like they will fit one on top of the other. I have two 140 fans running in front but they stacked on top of each other, so no room in between them. Lots of room in this case, I really like it. I have no problem cooling everything on air with this case. I think it would work great for what you are talking about.

edit: My case is actually the Fractal Design Arc XL, not the XL R2. You should probably check out the pics of it. And here is a pretty good review.
