As the title states, I'm looking for a new case for the build I'm gonna put together in about a month. Definitely needs to be full tower, would prefer it to have enough room to fully house a liquid cooling loop for cpu and 3 gpu's. I'm in the US, in case that makes any difference in case availability.

Hi there,
Have a looksie at the Coolermaster Atcs 840 or the cosmos s or the haf x or the nzxt phantom. Even look at some of the silverstone cases like the raven or the ft02 or even lian li. Honestly, there are a lot of choices it depends on u whether u want to go watercooling or wanna mod the case etc.

I was actually looking very closely at the HAF X. Could you possibly take a few good pictures of the inside of the case? Preferably the top? What I'm wanting is a case that requires as little modding as possible to stuff a radiator in it. So far all I've found is the 800D and the Lian Li PCA 77
A 360 rad will not be not be able to keep a CPU and 3 GPUs cool. You would need more radiator to cool 3 GPUs.
However look at the Haf X or the Cooler master Atcs 840 they are both real nice cases for water-cooling.

Sure, well it's not much to look as I'm waiting for my PSU, MB and CPU still
For me the water cooling pipe exits are great for holding the case lighting switch, perfect fit

Thank you a million for the pictures! Very helpful, although it doesn't look like the braces in the top are meant to hold a 360? Am I seeing that right? Is the other set of holes above the 5.25 inch bays?

NP mate..
I'm not experienced with water cooling, let me try and find a 360 rad size while I wait for you to reply.
Got a tape measure here
Edit:
Ok 400mm will fit it's just the case of which holes go where
.
Picture shows 400mm from the first screw holes which look like they're for a rad.
Tape measure isn't very accurate.

It looks like it'll just barely fit. The specs from XSPC show it as being 391mm long but I don't really see any way to mount it in the top of the case without having a bracket that goes inside your 5.25" cage, and of course that big fan would have to go. I'm currently looking at Lian Li PC-A77 case and mounting the radiator in the front of the case. Thanks for the pics and help though! Very much appreciated!
That looks awesome, although I've since changed my mind, I'm going to go with air cooling, and the HAF X. Do you by chance know the fan pattern for the GPU duct that mounts on the drive cages? I've been told you can mount a fan in there to blow air directly on the gpu's. Thanks for all your help!

Lian-Li A70F, will take a bit of modding but you can probably bolt on a 3x140 rad on the top 2 120mm rads in the back and maybe a 2x140mm in the front. If that can't keep your system cool, I don't know what will. You can also buy roofs with the grills if you don't want to mod as much.
