New case, replacing CM Trooper

[Hemanse]

Lately i've been getting rather fed up with Cooler Master products, a little while back the stock fans in my trooper case started "failing" one by one, first the 2x 120mm fans attached to the front started with a slight rattle, a little while later the top 200mm fan started aswell, so bad that in the end when running the build in fan controller on anything else then low, the entire case would shake, quite violently actually.

 

A little week ago i finally decided to replace the fans, the 2 120mm, the 140mm in the back and the top 200mm one, the 120 and 140 with noctua and the 200 with cooler masters own megaflow, the noctua works great, good airflow, no noise and no vibration, the cooler master megaflow on the other hand right out of the gate made a terrible whiny noise when running at 700-800 rpm (standard speed), tried hooking it up to the fan controller, maybe controlling the speed would help out, but sadly that doesnt work, the leds in the damn thing start blinking, guess they dont work right unless it gets full juice, so i now disconnected that and the fan noise is great.

 

Sadly again i now notice that the case itself seems to rattle or make a very annoying noise, kinda feels like the thing isnt put together right, if you "warp" it while running you can get it to stop, but it gradually starts again as you let go, tried narrowing it down and seems to be related to the top of the case, wich you can detach, i might be slightly picky but noises like this can drive me absolutely crazy.

 

To Sum up - tl;dr - tired of noisy cooler master products, looking for something better.

 

I have been looking at a few cases but would love some feedback or better ideas.

 

1st - NZXT H440, after watching the linus video on this i have kinda wanted to get one and my current fan setup could transfer easily

2nd - Corsair 760T, looks nice but im not entirely sold on it yet.

Any suggestions are welcome, so thanks in advance, also maybe from people with the CM Trooper case who have had similar problems and maybe fixed it somehow.

The H440 is a silent beast. Personally I don't like the aesthetic, but that is just me.

 

I absolutely f**king love my Arc Midi R2. Just saying that much.

I quite like the look of the H440 and getting a case in white would also be a plus, i have to dust of the trooper almost everyday, the top is coated in some sort of rubber material, collects dust like nothing else.

The words silent beast also sounds perfect

The Phanteks Enthoo Pro also looks sexy as hell, not out yet here yet tho

I'd wait for the Enthoo Luxe.  The Pro is nice but feel very striped IMO.   Phanteks is a company I would keep on eye on.  For their first round of Cases their really good.

Yeah that also does look really nice, im leaning towards the H440 quite alot, all the reviews i have seen looks really solid, only thing i dont like is the fact that you cant get a optical drive in it.

Even the Primo case is nice (duh ), but its a little on the expensive side and it seems geared more towards liquid cooling.

I'd buy an H440. Out of all the cases on the market right now very few of them impress me. The H440 is one of them with it's unique design without 5.25 inch drives and it's interesting shield for the PSU area.

 

Also here is an example of how helpful the free space from the 5.25 inc drives is. He managed to fit an entire giant rad in there which gives the whole build a very clean look.

I do really like the H440, especially in white, guess i could learn to live without a optical drive

Replacing a CM Trooper? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ? Wanna sell it ? (the fans dont bother me I wanna replace them all anyway...)

Only thing thay worries me about the h440 is people saying about the restrictive intake and top exhausts. I fancy replacing my corsair 500r but dont think it can compete with it for airflow.

i would go with 760t
