I love NZXT but for the sake of airflow I'd say the Phanteks case is better.

Airflow in the H440 really isn't that bad (it might run hotter, but it won't be the difference between an overclock being achievable/not) -- and it's even better in the new revision.

One side is red and the other side is rainbow (w/ special edition colors written on the side). AFAIK they didn't differentiate the boxes (at least not two years ago).

H440 has brackets for 11 HDD and 8 SSD, 4 free fans too and a fan hub at the back. Phantks has nothing... just 2 fans and just 2 brackets for HDD. So I will need to buy more brackets and a fan hub.

The two 120mm fans that came with my P400 were completely useless. I really dont like the side panels of my P400 either. Although, I got my p400 for $50 on amazon. The h440 is in a different league, I think. If you can find an h440 for a good price, I would say go with NZXT. Have you not considered Fractal Design?

Yeah.

I have a Nano S and I love it!!!!

But I need a bigger case to install more hard drives.

The issue is that fractal design and their new Define C and their old Define S only has support for 2/3 HDD, and I need more than that.

I don't know why they did that...

Nzxt seems the only option right now.

totally agree but going with the phanteks is a good idea if you dont care about the features and/or the budget is a concern, the phanteks is not bad at all.

if I buy the Phanteks I will need to buy this:

  • 2x Phanteks Modular HDD Bracket Specifice for Evolv ATX, Pro M Case (PH-HDD-KT02)  $17.10
  • 2x Phanteks Black 120mm PH-F120SP_BBK $32.08

Total: $49.18

 

Phanteks on Newegg $59.99 + $49.18 = $109.17

 

or 

NZXT H440  $109.99

 

What do you think?

Where can I buy 2 more fans, the same model that comes with the case?.

I don't think you can, but Phanteks sells similar ones.

if youre paying that much for extras like the hdd cages just go for the h440 it will be the better case.

exactly, that is what I said before.

I need those brackets and stuff and the final price is the same as the NZXT case. Even, nzxt has a fan hub.

What I dislike about the nzxt is the text on the side "nzxt".

I think I have found a better solution for me.

 

Nanoxia Deep Silence 4 Mini Tower Case with 6 Fan Controller, Fits Micro-ATX Motherboard Large Liquid Coolers, 20.1 Pounds

https://www.amazon.com/Nanoxia-Silence-Controllers-Motherboard-Coolers/dp/B00DSFEQKY/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1478838853&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=atx%2Bcase&th=1

 

$79.99

 

With that case I can use my actual motherboard, and that case has a lot of HDD cages.

What do you think?.

expensive.

I don't know which one to choose.

I'm getting crazy!!
