NZXT Noctis 450 ROG Edition - Mid Tower Gaming PC Case, Upto ATX, Aura Sync, 1x 140mm Fan, 3x 120mm Fan - CA-RO450-G1

Looks: A great looking case, the gunmetal grey is stunning and sets it aside from the typical black case. The RGB LEDs look amazing too, one of the reasons for purchasing this case was due to owning the ASUS Z270E and it syncs flawlessly using the aurasync software. I still need to play around a little and see if i can control the individual LED segments within the case, i was just eager to get my build up and running.Space: Great case with plenty of space to work in. Cable management was easy due to all the space under the PSU shroud. But thick cables round the back can be a little difficult.There's plenty of space for storage with all the drive bays, which are removable for better airflow if you don't need them. There's easily enough space for the rather long ASUS ROG 1070, so long as you don't mind it sticking into the drive cage area (which i don't as it hides the GPU power cable). I also loved the way you can mount your radiator with the fans outside the case at the top. I was going to mount the radiator in push pull at the front but forgot about the magnetic air filter.Noise and Temps: If you're going for a silent build then this isn't the case for you, the fans are audible, however can't be heard whilst wearing headphones (which is why i'm not bothered). However the 4 included fans give good airflow, all my components stay cool whilst idle, I haven't had change to test under heavy load however.Things to bare in mind: It is quite large for a mid case, the chassis itself is a good size (taken from the H440 i believe) but the top and front panels really do add quite a bit of extra bulk. However these really do add to the aesthetic and look really good. The case would be easy to handle for a first time builder.Review will be updates with images in time.

I am well pleased how my build looks and the case would of got 5 stars if it had of been priced a bit lower but if you are an Asus ROG Bling Bling type of builder and you use other Aura lighting components it looks excellent when put together. I bought the Asus Crosshair VI Hero and a Ryzen 7 1700 with the ROG Strix RX 480 and all the parts synced look great but if you dont use other Aura components save yourself £50 and just purchase the standard Noctis 450 as it is the same case without the bling. I have purchased components from CCL Computers before and never had any issues so would recommend them as a decent computer component provider.

This case is so cool, its folded metal style gives it this badass look. The synced LED RGB RoG aura is great, the music reaction setting is a lot better than most other music reaction RGB lighting. The 3,5/2.5 trays are easy to remove and move about which is really useful when you have lots of storage devices like me. The spacing allowed my Zotac GTX 1070 Extreme AMP Edition (3 fans) to fit in the case leaving a small part of it hidden in the tray area. However this case hasn't got the best cable management but cables can be easily hid with the angled window and powers supply enclosure.

I've built the PC inside this thing now and can tell you it looks great. To take advantage of the RGB you will need a motherboard with Aura Sync support though so take this into mind when buying. One of the best looking cases I've ever built in and no real issues while putting together either. Great cable management.Only real criticism is the window is way to easy to scratch. Took real care and left the protective plastic on it while building but within an hour of me removing that I managed to get a small scratch on the side window. Unfortunately no way of replacing the window panel itself from how the side panel is built. So just be extra careful around the window area.Apart from that one small issue case airflow is great, looks great and does the job it was meant for.

Very good looking case , lots of Light's and handy features. Its well built and sturdy. I swapped the fans out for RGB ones and had to get an extra splitter and extension cables as the splitter built into the case was all full with inbuilt ones. Maybe an 8 way splitter like the one provided for the fans would be nice.

I love it. The only real flaw for me was the Perspex window. Any knock and it scratch's but other than that it looks so good.

I bought this case as an upgrade to my H440, The case I received did feel quite cheap and very flimsy, the door panel was flimsy and the plastic/glass had a lot of play, it also rattled. I sent mine back, and got a case from a different brand.

Top quality!
