I would get that and mod the front panel! Why do they make so restrictive cases these days? I'd make some cuts on the front, add a high quality triple fan grill (like the ones made by Mnpctech).

Its much easier to drill some holes in the front than it is to fill in holes. 

 

On a side note, it would be really cool if NZXT made an airflow designed body for the H440/S340. I.e. they would sell the regular H440, but then have an additional top and front panel that are designed with airflow rather than silence in mind that you could just buy and swap with the stock panels.

the S340 has better airflow than the H440. The NZXT rep on Reddit was mentioning that..

Thank you to all of you replying I have decided on the H440

Nice, i love the H440, it's what my main rig is in. I think it's a great case, just maybe not the best for watercooling

Specs: 4790k | Asus Z-97 Pro Wifi | MX100 512GB SSD | NZXT H440 Plastidipped Black | Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler | MSI 290x Lightning | EVGA 850 G2 | 3x Noctua Industrial NF-F12's

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it

The s340 is a better case, in build, price, and size.

But I want the system now

 

Wait a few weeks, not sure when it comes out, but waiting is better than hating
