I am planning a case swap as my storm enforcer is pretty loud... I have narrowed it down to these cases I like the look of all of them but the 450d has caught my attention mostly anyway which one would you choose?

If you want a quiet case get a R4. I like the look of the H440 alot. but it's probably not much quieter than your storm enforcer

Oh really the front fan on the enforcer is the culprit in this case.

Do you value silence or better airflow? How about an optical drive as the h440 doesn't support them? My choice is the 450d but that's just me

450D for me, the aluminium front is simply beautiful. But if NZXT made a completely stealth H440 that would be a strong contender too. Define R4 is the most unoriginal choice ever, everybody has one and both other cases are better.

I was also wondering roughly what size the H440 is compared to the Enforcer as I may need to move some things if I choose it.

i would go for H440 if you like the looks, i personally find the PSU cover to stand out too much with the full color, tho i guess you can repaint that :)

 

also the H440 uses 3 120mm fans in the front while the R4 uses 2 140mm fans, so the R4 would be more silent with the right fans :) but in the end i have found that the PSU and GPU's tend to be the issue and not the fans

I have a 450D and i love it but i ran into 2 problems: 1 was that the fans make a geiger counter sound because i think the bearings are broken and 2 on the front led for the on/off button one off the led's is not turning on which could be me but likely its broken. anyway i don't regret my purchase just a bit annoyed also im getting led fans anyway soo

Erm...they come in different colours. Also, who cares if your friend was getting one. I don't not get something all because one of my friends are getting it. That's just flamin' stupid (no offence).

We both like blue :P so to avoid a fash clash i got the 450D and tbh i kinda prefer it the only reason i say i would have got it was because its slightly cheaper
