    Comes down to what your budget will allow
     
    I like my: Phanteks, Primo Case
     

     
     
     
    PSU is separate intake & exhaust
     
    Can fit 120 x 480 rad top & bottom  (I'm running dual 120 x 360 & modded bottom for better breathing - removed solid part)
     
    http://www.phanteks.com/enthoo-primo.html
     
     
    Also like my Cooler Master HaF 932 full tower
     
     
     
    But if my budget did not get in the way  there are some nice ones

    Yes, Budget makes all the difference. In the 100 - 200 dollar range I love the phanteks cases and Fractal design define series.
     
    If you have big $$ go case labs. In my opinion the best cases in the world

    CaseLabs SM8 - X99 Classified - EVGA 1080ti - 5930k @ 4.5 - 32GB Hyper X predator - 480mm x2 and 360mm rads for super low fan speed and quiet operation- EK blocks and pump/res - All Bitspower black fittings - 1Tb samsung 850 evo 2tb total ssd space - EVGA 1300G2 - Predator X34 - Mayflower Objective 2 DAC/AMP - Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro - Sennheiser HD6xx - Mackie CR4 monitors

    Listen me... EVGA DG-87.
    You will not pay fortune, you will have excellent cooling option and for watercooling and for case cooling and one of nicest case on market at the moment. DG-87 is among 5 best cases for me, 2 are Caselabs, Lian-Li and EVGA. Price of other models is double...
     

     
    Much better than standard models as we look every day, Phanteks, CORSAIR, Thermaltake, etc...
    This is little uncommon look but perfect, exactly what most people like. And cables on back side are hidden.
     
    I could imagine your Rampage 10 inside and i7-6950X. 
    Did you check black version DG-86, it's great as well, only no buttons on side.
     

    For me they are fantastic.
    Most important thing is because nothing similar you can't find on market.

    I took a chance with this new case and I really like it: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA7TD4602092&
    The price isn't bad and the only complaint I have is that it is a little cramped in the back for cable management. It is workable though. http://www.modsrigs.com/detail.aspx?BuildID=35795
    It weighs a ton with the tempered glass side panels on it. Plenty of room up top for a nice 360mm radiator. Mine is a work in progress. I haven't decided how far I will go with the watercooling. My MSI Z77 motherboard may need to be replaced but I have to do some troubleshooting to make sure.

    That's nice case as well, only DG-87 I really liked from first day because look good even with single graphic card.
    99% of other Full Tower Cases look empty without at least 2-3 graphic cards.

    I think my case is going to look empty no matter how many video boards I have until I get this EK pump installed: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-xres-140-revo-d5-pwm-incl-pump

    Airflow is great in that case. Aircooled 980 ti ran 20° cooler in that one compared to when I put it into my Corsair SPEC-01.

    Nice for a desk... overkill for a case.  just my personal opinion.
    The DG-87 is actually pretty good for watercooling.. was designed pretty much for it.
    I wish they went more for a traditional "left/Back" side, made it a little thicker for water cooling options on that side.
    Would be nice to be able to mount my H100i back there, and expell the hotter air out.
    With good front/right side airflow it would be perfect for this.

    Sorry, but the 900D is crap. Did a few custom builds in it back when I worked for Tigerdirect. Way too cheap and plastic feeling. SUPER flimsy. Same thing with the 750D. Felt like I was going to snap everything in half every time I did work inside of it.

    I wish I had known about this case sooner. It is more my style and I could have continued using a dual-bay reservoir like the one I am using now. $50 more is reasonable especially if it makes you happier.

    I just thought ( For a Birthday Present to Myself ) I would Re-Do my Secondary Desktop Computer with this Case along with an AIO 280mm CPU Cooler and TWO AIO 140mm GPU Coolers for the Classys.
