Very good, but completely different cases.
The Corsair case focuses on airflow and has limited room for storage while the Fractal one is designed for low noise and has plenty of room for HDDs and SSDs. And both are capable of housing radiators for watercooling on several points.
You won't go wrong with any of them, so choose on looks or price.
Please excuse my bad English.

With Noctua fans, shouldn't both of them be low noise either way? Don't think I will use more than two drives (One SSD for OS and essential programs, HDD for other stuff), max three eventually.
But that means that the 450D should perform (somewhat) better in the cooling department then? Or will it not matter when I change the fan config?

Quiet cases have a foam on the side panels (and front door when there's one) that dampens the noise from the interior components. See this pic from the TechPowerUp review of the Fractal case.
Airflow will be better on the Corsair case because air coming from the front won't have many restrictions, while on the Fractal case you'll have the door (air will come from both sides of it) and the interior HDD cages. That said, you can remove the top HDD cage, and given that the door also has foam, you could run the front fans at a higher speed.
Don't worry too much because both cases are excellent. Just pick the one that looks better to you.

Maybe some pictures of the card will interest you...


The PCB is longer than the reference one, but the cooler is even longer than that.

That looks like something you'll do a couple of times, and then get bored with it.
Unless you're Jizz.. erm Captain Yuri and want to take a closer look at your "special" games

Even Dataland did it for Radeon RX 480.

Perfect! I can remove my drive bay to fit this foot-long devil sandwich! Oh, this is my new case(not an upgrade for my old PC 2014).
