So I was thinking of getting the Corsair 450D for my upcoming watercooling project but have just spotted this and was wondering what peoples opinion was regarding this vs. the 450d? 

 

I am wanting to use a triple and duel rad with a tube res.

I think you should 100% change your title before other members start posting, why are you asking about the 450D when I think you're asking about the Phantek Enthoo Pro?. I'll re-edit this.

 

I think the comparison in-terms of the cases are between the 750D versus Enthoo Pro in my opinion. I think both are quite decent for both air-cooling & watercooling however the Enthoo Pro fits deeper & larger radiators.

Yeah, the pro is much more suited to water cooling than the 450D is.

What's your budget?

 

Sometimes, if you plan to keep the included fans, the Luxe is worth the extra $50 (extra fan, extra SSD mounting bracket, outside LEDs and more options on top exhaust)...

 

And, obviously, the Pro over the 450D.

I am upgrading all the internal fans to SP 120s or AF 120s depending on where in the case they are, so not really that fussed about that, although I do feel that the aesthetics are a bit better but it looks like the air flow would be worse on the Luxe

I don't think how the airflor would be worse on the Luxe as both of them share the same internal structure. Only the outside is different, and the Luxe is better at the top an all those aestethics.

 

But again, if you are not going to keep the included fans, then ignore that in the extra 50$, so it might not be worth all that!

 

I was sure I was gonna get the Pro but, once I saw what the Luxe came with and how easier it is to access the top, I had to get the Luxe instead.

The Enthoo Pro is a Full Tower and it was designed with modding and water cooling in mind.  It comes with a lot more features than either the 450D or 750D and superior build quality.  Not to mention, less expensive.  Get the Enthoo Pro, it is a no-brainer, best case you can buy for $100.

The Enthoo Pro is a Full Tower

 

I am confused in that case as too why it is being sold as a mid tower case...

Where do you see it being advertised as a mid-tower?  The only time I have seen that mistake is in Linus' video.

Also looking at the size specifications they say the dimensions are smaller than the 450D

Wow, that is way wrong.  The Enthoo Pro is a Full Tower, I'm looking right at it, it is huge.  I think 20 inches tall?  And weighs a ton.

hmm ok well that is one thing I was concerned about, I don't want a huge case, hence wanting a mid tower!
