The mastercase pro 5 is really nice and it was gonna be my next case but i changed my mind from it to the 400c. The pro 5 can fit a 240 rad on the top and the front and is also very spacious with the top rad attachment in the pro 5 variant. the con for me was that it's inbetween a mid tower and full tower. If you just want to use a 240 aio watercooling rad then i'd recommend the nzxt case. If not and maybe you wanted to do some custom watercooling in the future or need the 5.25 inch drive bays than get the pro 5.

Wow, I like both your options, first time i've seen either... Another suggestion would be the Phanteks P400S, it has caught my eye recently after AwesomeSauce Network promoted it funny enough. Clean look, decent size, good fan/rad support, I personally like the bottom front company logo led lighting (bit of an underglow look to it, without going over board)

So Nzxt Noctis Not good for custom loops? I could buy a external odd... 5.25 inch isnt a big thing for me. If the noctis got the looks. I love the underglow though.. And i love the the ssd mounting of mastercase. The thing i hate about the noctis is that the hdd cages cant be removed... Both cost the same so it is kinda confusing for me.

You should definitely be able to start a custom loop in the noctis but the mastercase would probably be a much more pleasant experience.
