450D or H440?

Corsair 450D or H440? Any other cases recommendation is also accepted.

 

No budget.

Want good airflow.

For better airflow pick the 450D, I'm caught up between both of these cases as well.

The corsair 450d looks to have better air flow, but on the front the H440 has 3 front fans included

But there's like a huge cover covering it blocking optimum airflow

I don't understand why everybody assumes the H440 has inadequate airflow. Just because there aren't gaping holes to create a wind tunnel tornado for your system doesn't mean it had bad airflow. 

Compared to my previous Corsair 540, the H440's airflow is about 90% of that. On the low side.

Anyways, as for as the 450D and the H440 goes, I'd stick with my H440 because it's cleaner looking. But the 450D is pretty nice too.

It doesn't block anything. Unless you know something I dont.

450D has better airflow, but I think the H440 looks better.

Im a n00b I just think that the panel covering the fans are preventing the fans to bring in more air

Well I am sure you know there are open vents on the side. But there is a completely open, unrestricted clearance on the bottom to pull air in too.

H440 for the better cable management.
