So my Xigmatek Elysium has served me well over the years, but the main reason that I bought it was because of how big it is; however, now I am looking to go a bit smaller. Lugging my Elysium to LANs is getting a little old.

Basically I'm looking for something more in the cube shape with levels, space on the bottom for a PSU, pump/res, and SSDs. Next level would hold motherboard, then the next level would have space for radiators. Micro ATX motherboard is fine.

The CaseLabs Bullet line looked great until I noticed that it is not meant for water cooling as the fan spaces are too short to accommodate a radiator. The Bullet line of cases gives a pretty good idea of what I am looking for though.

I would want space for at least 2x 2x120mm radiators. Single loop, just cpu and a single gpu.

Anyway, I haven't paid any attention to what's on the market for the last five years or so. Let me know what's out there.
 
The compartments are side-by-side and not over-under, but the Node 804 is a cube style with a huge amount of expansion options and cooling support. It'll let you do up to a 240mm radiator in the front, 280mm in top, 120mm in the rear, 12 drives and PSU in the left compartment, and mATX board with 2 full length GPUs in the right. It's certainly worth a look in my opinion.

If you're looking for something to take to LANs, is watercooling really the way to do it? Air cooling is going to let you drop a lot of weight and size.
