NZXT proclaims that “bold is back” with their new enclosure design, a striking-looking case based (at least internally) on the popular H440.
The Noctis 450 takes the H440 and combines it with an angular external construction that looks similar to the company’s Phantom enclosure series. As the interior is identical to the H440 this new enclosure features the spacious interior and excellent cooling support from the previous model. As a nice addition the Noctis 450 adds a PWM fan controller (and includes 4 fans), further simplifying cooling for a build with this case.
NZXT has created a product video to showcase the new design:
In the appearance department the Noctis 450 really does look good (although style is always a personal thing), with dramatic black/red and the familiar NZXT white/black color schemes available to help accent the interesting angles, and there is an adjustable LED lighting system as well.
Plenty of storage room (unless you're Allyn) with 5 slide-out HDD trays
The MSRP is set at $139.99 and the Noctis 450 is currently available for pre-order on the NZXT site.

Everything but the front and top panels looks to be taken straight from the h440 without any changes at all.
Oh, and side panels.

I own this case, it is not small inside at all. If you are trying to compare it to a full size then yes, it is small. I am coming from TJ-09 with a custom loop and had no problem at all fitting it in the Noctis.
