Best NZXT H440 Color?!

llama16plays

So as you may have guessed by the title, I am trying to decide what color to get the NZXT H440 in.  Yes it will be entirely your opinion, but I want to know what YOU would get and why.  I like Blue, Orange, and Lime Green, and I am not likely considering getting white, red, or black simply because they as colors in the PC market are overrated.  

 

1. Do you think that PC component manufacturers will start to make Lime, Orange, and Blue parts?!  I know Gigabyte made a Green board, and Iam wondering if the industry will continue to follow.

2. Do you have this case? If you do, is it a great case, or does it have major flaws.   

 

Check the cases out: http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/143-h440-performance-mid-tower.html

 

Thxs for your opinion!

You missed red from the poll, personally I'm going red since it's the easiest to colour match but I do really like the blue.

I like the white H440 more than the other colors just because it is mote neutral and will match more builds.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Definitely blue. Blue is a good accent color for a black primary. Black/Blue/White or Black/Blue/Red are really nice looking combos for color. If you get an all silver one then purple would be the accent color of choice. In the above examples the last color of each trio is "accent of the accent" color. As for component manufacturers following suit to match colors, thats unlikely unless ALL case makers start making cases with the same base or accent colors. One case maker making a case with a certain color on it isn't going to have much pull in the motherboard market. I single out the mobo because its really the only component that can't be color matched or custom colored in same way. Virtually all other components can be found in whatever color you need or in some cases easily painted to match. That being said, some more color options on boards that aren't super cheap and lame would be good.

 

If i had to pick a dream build it wouldnt' be any of the color combos above.. I would pick White/Black/Red. Thats been my favorite color scheme ever since the second (or third) generation of Lego Bionicles because its sexy and amazing and good looking.  :D

I am whatever I am.

wouldn't cool to make the color accents in plexi/acrylic and use RGB LED to

control color needed. i guess i sold my H440 too soon to tell.

I wish there was a white/blue version with a stronger tone of blue. This one looks a bit soft, I'm guessing for better contrast with the black.

I own both the White/Black version and the Black/green version. Out of the two, I personally like the black/green version better. Dont get me wrong pure white looks sexy but how NZXT did the matte finish on the black and how vibrant the green is on the case, makes it unbelievably sexy and outstanding. All in all though no matter what color the H440 comes it, it looks outstanding :)

I would get the one that matches my components.

Black and orange because of LTT colors.

Also blue and black just because it looks cool.

Green and black isn't as 'timeless' and few parts match the color.
