That's... the 360mm model isn't it?

Do you want Top or Front mount?

Pretty much any case that supports two 140mm fans side by side at the top should work out ok. Just ensure it has some extra room between the Motherboard plate and the top of the case. Like when looking at the rear of the case, it should have a somewhat decent gap between the I/O plate and the top of the case, at least 3inches from I/O shield to the top of case.

Corsair makes great cases. The only one I would suggest from another brand is the Cooler Master Master Case Maker 5. Another ridiculously long name from Cooler Master, but a fairly sexy looking case and has superb cooling.

Key point is, the MCM5 is only an ATX tower but can carry large radiators. It's one of the smaller cases that'll fit your spec.

h115i is 280mm, can use 120 or 140mm fans
its thicker than the h60-110, 26mm, and fans are 25+ spacers, totals about 55mm thick

check the case area and mobo, it may run into ram or odd bay

Use a Case that has no 5.25 bays; that way you can have too intake airflow blowing right at the upper motherboard areas. Easier to install and accommodate varies rads and such too.

like Corsair Spec Alpha
