im interested at the look of the noctis 450 but i have seen good/bad reviews of it im just cureius how do you guys think of it and the most important the airflow.

I have the H440, which is the exact same chassis (just with different panels and worse airflow), and I can say that if you like the look of the case, then go for it. The airflow really isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be (it won't make or break your overclocks, and that's with an H440, the Noctis 450 has better air flow).

 

The only thing I dislike about the H440 is that the panels are made from plastic rather than aluminum (but I knew that going in); also the window scratches very easily (I don't think the 450 uses a different window).
