I personally use the corsair storm trooper, while it was interesting i managed to mount a 480 to the top. It did have to go in the drive bay and it is pretty close to the motherboard but it works great.

Need more information, here. What are the 2 loops going to consist of each?
You don't have to be bound to using a 480, you can use more than one radiator in a loop. You don't have to get a case to fit a 480 but could find something that will hold a 360 and maybe a 240 and even a 140. It really depends. Don't paint yourself into a corner with a single, huge radiator if you don't need to.

Right, you mentioned all that, but that doesn't really get us any further. You have said only anything about a 480 radiator so far. You want 2 loops. What would be the rest of the watercooling loops for both systems?
If you want 2 loops, are you planning to share a radiator or are you going to actually run dual loops? If you are going to 'share' a radiator, you might as well only run a single loop.

Corsair 900D can fit a 480 on top, but for that, be prepared for a monster case, as any will be to mount a 480 internally. You'll need a full tower to mount an e-atx mobo anyways. It'll also fit a 360 up front, I don't see any reason a 360 wouldn't work for a cpu, no matter the OC. You'll hit voltage limits long before maxing a 360 since that'll be the only thing on that loop.
Apart from custom orders, I don't think I've ever seen a commercially sold case that'll mount 2x480 internally.

Again, a single 480 isn't going to be all that the OP needs for dual loops, if that's what he's going for. It is a single radiator and a dual loop is defined by having 2 sets of components that run independent from one another...so you would also need another radiator somewhere. I think we're getting too hung up on only fitting a single 480 when there are many other options that could be done for this setup that do not require a 480 rad. A 480 would be fine if you were going to run a single loop or a hybrid dual loop, but you're effectively 'sharing' the single 480 radiator, which isn't (by definition) a dual loop.

Well that's kinda what I was implying with the 900D. The 480 for the gpus and a 360 for the cpu. Or vice versa. Even with as little as I know about full open loop cooling, I can't see needing true dual loops. The 980ti's don't run that hot anyways, not like their amd counterparts, even the r9 295x2 only came with a h80i equivalent cooler. I'd like to think that even op's cpu and sli setup massively oc'd would be well within the limits of a 480 and 360 rad on a single loop with decent sized id piping.

Hah, no worries, oftentimes what's in my head doesn't translate well in writing. Personally, I think a 360 would cover just the cpu easily, my 3770k at 4.6GHz only pulls 64°C under p95 26.6 working all 8 on small fft on a kraken x61 silent. And if a 120mm can cool a 295x2, sli 980tis would be easy for another 360, even with massive OC.
