NZXT h440 (blue)

jameshumphries47

so i have had my pc built for just over a month and im going to review my chosen parts so give this a read it might effect you...

so the package has some nice photos and information about the case in multiple different languages. so opening the box, the case comes nicely packaged with 2 chunks of polystyrene, after removing the 2 chunks it comes in a plastic bag, after removing the plastic bag you see the case and woah it looks good, matte black finish with a gloss of your chosen colour. the case doesnt really come with much instruction other than a few small flick through books. with a few of nzxt's other products. from getting the case out of the box to putting it on the floor 2 of the rubber feet came off. they used really bad adhesive on the feet, which really needs sorting out... so building in the case was brilliant as always, AWESOME build quality, but you should expect that on all £100+ cases, but nzxt really set the bar high with this product.

 

Pros

  1.  lots of cable management opportunities.
  2. great build quality.
  3. included dust filters.
  4. included fan splitter
  5. hot swappable hard drives
  6. noise dampening foam.
  7. lots of fan opportunities
  8. support for in theory a triple radiator  
  9. power supply shroud to hide messy cables.
  10. included fans

cons

  1. on the backside there is not enough room to easily fit a 24 pin cable, we need more depth.
  2. feet not glued on enough
  3. no printed information about returns and so on.
  4. no support what so ever for an optical drive.
  5. scratched extremely easy

 

 

Over all it is an excellent case and i would recommend you guys buy one. but there are a few things that need fixing really, but yeah dont regret my purchase at all.

must be an NZXT thing. My phantom just picks up dust like dusk is going extinct, that's why i'm getting a Carbide Air 540.
