My votes goes for the H440. But whichever you like the look of better; internally they're both the same case.

I prefer the design aesthetic of the Noctis since the chassis mostly resembles the H440 pretty basic, but the outer shell is the staple look of the Phantom lineage. It looks a little funny though but it's your choice.

I want some room for water-cooling.

There's plenty of room in both.

I think you should go with the h440. If you're planning to go with liquid cooling you may as well go full silent. The noctis doesn't have the advantage of sound cancelling foam. As well, the side window on the stock h440 is a lot better (saw your other post about modding.)

Mhm, I totally agree with you. Might as well go with a H440 instead of an ugly Bitfenix Colossus that I have.
