NZXT H440 Accent Painting Ideas

2FA

So I had this idea pop into my head that I wanted to paint the accents of my H440. Now, part of the reason behind this is that my components have changed a tad bit. I now have a NH-D14 along with an EVGA GTX 980 SC which don't exactly match the red/black color scheme.

 

Black with white accents: This is the one I was leaning towards the most but I'm still not sure.

 

Black with silver/gray: I thought that this was a bit different and might be a cool idea.

 

Black with black: Also not a bad option, it's kind of like the Razor edition but without their emblems and the greens LEDs.

 

 

To go along with these I was thinking maybe some white LEDs or even color changing ones depending on how I feel. The only thing is that I can't go too crazy with this as I'm getting a bit low on money for the next the few months. Anyways, please and leave any and all feedback.

You will be happy with all black. Trust me. Black and white/red and black/blue and black are wayyyyyyyyyyyy overdone lately imo

All black might be the easiest one to do but I would suggest doing a silver base/black accent theme as it looks really nice and clean. It also easily fits any color scheme of internal component. Here is a 3d render I made last year.

Imagine if NZXT had a service where you could request a custom color scheme on cases. It might slow down production of the cases depending on how they would organize it but I could see them getting a lot of business from it. Although, it would take the fun out of modding,

You seriously created that? Wow, I thought it was an actual photo. Well done!

Have you done any other renders?

Yeah I did. I was actually planning on modding my h440 and made this to have a preview and decide on how it will look like.

You're quite good. How long do they take to create? :)

Thanks, I do it as a hobby, got started because of modding games. It depends on how complex the model is. This one took me around 5 hrs to model. I lost the model now though when my external hdd broke.

BTW I also made this sleeved extension when I couldn't decide on the color combo I wanted for my build.

Well, that is pretty damn good mate. I think you are to 3D modelling as I am to videography. How hard do you reckon it'd be to create a NZXT S340 model, the White version, only instead of the inside of the case being black it'd be white. I'd love to see that. No pressure though, twas just a thought. :)

I also do photography as a hobby. It helps a lot to know stuff about composition to get great renders. It would easy to create the s340 as is just mostly square. I will try to do a simple one when I get bored.

That's a good point. I bet it would. :)

Alright, well I look forward to it. :)

BTW, I might just have to add you as a friend, just quietly. :D

My god. I thought those models were photos of a real PC. 

 

I was all like 'daym, nice PC' before I saw your second post.  :rolleyes:

 

That silver/black theme is awesome.

Need help with the RMA/retail side of things? Feel free to send me a PM, always happy to share my industry experience with others.

I've decided to paint the accents a glossy black and I will upload some pictures in a few days.
